Summer brings with it longer days, vibrant sunshine, and a sense of lightness and freedom. But with the rising heat comes the need to adjust how we care for our skin and overall wellbeing.
According to Ayurveda, this time of year is governed by Pitta dosha, characterized by the fire and water elements. While Pitta dosha brings vitality and transformation, an imbalance can lead to skin irritation, digestive issues, and even emotional heat like irritability and frustration.
The good news?
Mindful Ayurvedic lifestyle tips, incorporating your favorite SUNDARI products, can help you bloom through the summer months, both inside and out.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle Tips for Summer
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Consider adding cooling herbs like vetiver to your water. Coconut water is also a great choice for balancing electrolytes. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol.
Favor Cooling Foods: Think seasonal fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and coconut. Include herbs like mint and cilantro in your meals. Limit spicy, oily, and fried foods that can aggravate Pitta.
Move Mindfully: Embrace a mindful approach to your daily routine. Wake up early and engage in gentle yoga during cooler hours. Consider cooling Sheetali pranayama which involves inhaling through a curled tongue to cool the body.
Summer Skincare: Soothe, Nourish, Glow
Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse daily to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping your skin's natural moisture. Sandalwood Cleanser is a wonderful option, as sandalwood is known for its cooling properties.
Cooling & Soothing: For Pitta-prone skin, use products with ingredients like rose water or lavender. Our Rose and Lemon Tonic Water can refresh and cool your skin throughout the day.
Exfoliate Mindfully: Exfoliate 2-3 times a week, using gentle methods and ingredients. Our Honey and Enzyme Exfoliating Serum or a mask like the Neem and Green Tea Cleansing Mask, which uses mineral rich clay to draw out impurities, can be beneficial.
A Calming Escape: Unwind on warm evenings with the subtle, calming scent of jasmine and lotus with the SUNDARI Chameli Candle. Create an oasis of serenity in your own home.
