Skin is the largest organ of the human body. Beauty depends on healthy and glowing skin. Skin is that the reflection of what happens within the body. Currently due to pollution, bad eating habits, lack of sleep, pressure of work and stress, our skin is paying the price of the wrong lifestyle. People prefer to cover the damage with makeup and cosmetic applications instead of taking care of skin health. These chemical applications lead to more harm to the skin. In Ayurveda there are many relevant and effective natural formulations and herbs for skin care and to maintain beauty of skin. Ayurveda emphasizes on complete health internally as well as externally that’s why acharyas had mentioned about vayasthapan mahakashaya, varnya mahakashaya and rasayana etc. and various types of lepa for external application. The tiny details of thickness of lepa are also described in ayurveda texts. Ayurveda has safe, cost friendly & effective treatment of various dermatological issues i.e. skin care, hair care, fairness and glowing skin, removal of post pregnancy stretch marks, foot care, hair dyes, hair removal or skin problem like acne, acne scars or dandruff.
