Namaskar Everyone wants clean and radiant skin.

And it is possible.

Only we should know how to manage with skin.

Because there are three types of skins.

One is very oily skin, one is very dry and flaky skin.

 

And third is normal skin.

Now when you are in a very cold climate, skin becomes dry.

And in hot climate you will find skin looking very oily, you are sweating and so more oil on skin.

So all that is a natural phenomenon.

But we should know how to handle these things.

Because skin definitely gets affected because of the weather, climate.

But once we attend to it, it would be very perfect.

It would look beautiful always in all the weather.

Let’s understand the causes for dry skin.

First, poor nutrition.

If nutrition is not correct, if your body doesn’t have natural oil, then skin also is going to become dry.

Second, genetic hereditary, you are born with that type of a skin, but it can be handled.

Third, extreme temperature

absolute heat outside, absolute cold outside, extreme temperature creates problem.

And fourth, the pores of our skin.

When these pores, because skin has lots of pores through which secretion takes place where even dead body is thrown out.

When these pores get clogged because dead cells, they remain on the pore, they don’t come out because we are not taking bath properly.

And so that also creates dry skin.

According to Ayurveda they say that when vat is too much, then skin gets dry.

The causes for oily skin, One is excess open pores in our body where the sebum is secreted.

Sebum is natural oil which is secreted from our skin.

And so oiliness and stickiness is felt.

So and then because of that even acnes are there so that all causes oily skin.

Well, so now what are we supposed to do?

 

Practice yoga.

By following yoga path, what happens?

All our tridoshas, that is vat, pitt and kapha, they all come into balance.

And so naturally that excess vat because of which the problem is there is taken care of with yoga.

Toxins are released very easily managed very easily.

Circulation is very perfect.

So when all this happens, our skin, which is sometimes oily and sometimes dry, that also neutralizes and skin remains healthy well.

So I would recommend at least two asanas.

One is sarvangasana head low pose.

And this sarvangasana really helps releasing tension from all the facial muscles.

It helps in good circulation and helps the skin of your face in any case

Second posture is halasan.

And that is again a very good circulation on face region.

That whole angle really helps in keeping your body’s spine totally flexible as well as the circulation on face and the abdominal compression.

So the digestion also is fine, absorption assimilation is fine.

And so these two postures should be done regularly.

This technique called Jalaneti really helps person.

Cleansing from inside also really improves the circulation on the face region.

Jalaneti should be practiced regularly because that is a fantastic technique to cope up with the external stress and tension, external infection and pollution.

Second thing which we should do as a pranayama is Sheetali and Sitkari.

All both these pranayams, they bring little coolness into our system.

The word itself is Sitali, Sitkari cooling into our system.

And when our system gets cooled, the vat dosha of our body is handled very well.

In Ayurveda they mention that we should do what is called as Abhyangastan.

We remember that even for a baby, we give massage of oil and then baby is kept in sun for some time.

And then baby is given bath.

And children also pick up their health.

So this Abhyang is nothing else but using oil like coconut oil, like sesame seed oil, almond oil, it could be even castor oil.

These are all very healthy oils.

We should use any of these oils.

Just see that you warm this oil little bit and use this warm oil on your entire body.

Massage your body with your own self, your hands, your face, your neck.
