When we’re out of balance, we feel it, and it shows.  Sometimes it shows up right on our face!  Vata skin tends to be dry.  Pitta skin tends to be sensitive and prone to rosacea.  Kapha skin can be oily, and prone to acne.  Ayurveda recommends that we take care of our skin both from the inside, with the food we eat and the supplements we take, and from the outside, with specialized skin care routines.  Dr. Raj Kanodia, who is a friend of mine from The Chopra Center, and who stars in the TV series “Dr. 90210,” has developed a line of skin care products that combine the best of modern western medicine with the tried and true wisdom of Ayurveda.  Dr. Kanodia is a plastic surgeon and his partner is a dermatologist.  They both strongly believe in what Ayurveda can do for the health of our skin.  The skin care like is called AyurMedic, and we’ve broken down the products into categories for dry, normal/combination, oily, acne-prone, mature, and sensitive skin types.  This is just another example of how Ayurveda can help us in every aspect of life!
