"If you want to change your appearance, you must first change the thoughts, feelings and habits, from which stem from the stress and aging." 

The good news are that we have a considerable influence on looking like our largest organ in the long run and will work. If we live a life under constant pressure, poor diet and too little sleep, then the stress, these habits contribute to the body, and finally transferred to our skin. On the other hand, our skin will age gracefully and with dignity, if we learn to empathize with the body's needs and adopting a healthy lifestyle. 

According to Ayurveda is a major factor for the deterioration of the skin that we ignore the needs of our individual body type. Each of us is born with a special mind-body constitution, which is dominated by the respective proportions of the three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha characterized - in the body. Each of the three body types, faces, each with different challenges and different ages. The first step in maintaining a healthy skin, then, is to focus on the needs of our specific attention to the constitution. 

Those predominance of vata dosha, Vata qualities are reflected in their psyche and physique. They tend to be lighter stature, with thin, frizzy and dry hair, as well as fine, delicate skin, with a tendency towards dryness, premature wrinkles and dull, lackluster appearance.

Kapha types tend to slow aging, compared to the other two body types. Their skin is thicker and therefore less vulnerable to wrinkles. The main problem for Kapha people is their low digestive power, which often leads to the accumulation of ama, or toxic waste materials in the body. And this can affect the allocation of nutrients to the skin and create oily, rough, dull skin with enlarged pores. 

Kapha types should be used to insist on a regular facial skin detoxification and this natural cleaning pads and masks.
