Ayurvedic skin care, simplified
Vata, pitta or kapha — what is your skin saying?
Ayurveda reads skin by its nature: dry, warm or oily. Find yours, then build a calm daily routine around a gentle herbal bath.
The three skin types
Ayurveda's three skin natures
Vata — dry & delicate
Thin, dry, quick to flake or feel tight in wind and cold. Needs warmth and oil: sesame or almond after the bath.
Pitta — warm & sensitive
Prone to redness, heat rashes and breakouts in the sun. Benefits from cooling coconut and soothing neem.
Kapha — oily & thick
Smooth and strong but prone to congestion and oiliness. Needs thorough, invigorating cleansing with turmeric and neem.
One soap, three natures
Why a coconut-oil herbal soap suits most skins
Coconut oil is considered cooling and is well suited to pitta skin; neem and turmeric are traditional choices for oily, kapha skin; almond and sesame oils bring the nourishment vata skin asks for.
Anjenna Plus brings these together in one mild, high-fatty-matter bar. Adjust the rest of your routine — oil, diet, sleep — to your dosha.

FAQ
Dosha & skin questions
How do I know my skin dosha?
Notice how your skin behaves most of the time: dry and thin suggests vata; warm, sensitive and prone to redness suggests pitta; oily, thick and prone to congestion suggests kapha. Many people are a mix of two.
Can my skin type change?
Yes. Ayurveda notes that seasons, age and stress shift the balance — skin often turns drier in winter (vata) and more reactive in summer (pitta).
Which soap is best for oily kapha skin?
A thorough-cleansing herbal soap with neem and turmeric, used with a minute of contact time. Anjenna Plus suits this well.
Which soap is best for dry vata skin?
A mild, high-TFM soap followed by sesame or almond oil while the skin is still damp. Avoid very hot water.
