YOUR PRIMARY SKINTYPE IS:
KAPHA
Ayurveda & The Doshas
Ayurveda : ayur {life} + veda {knowledge}
Your nature is to flow like water, languid, peaceful, and life-giving Kapha.
Elements: Water & Earth
The Kapha dosha is ruled by water. Your nature is gentle and relaxed—slow and steady is your daily mantra. The languid language of Kapha dosha is familiar to you. There’s no point in rushing. You’re thorough, soft, and devoted to your loved ones.
Those with a primarily Kapha constitution don’t get angry often. When all is well, you’re patient and kind, steadfast and loyal. When imbalanced, you can become insecure and apathetic.
The key to embodying the positive elements of Kapha is to remain active. Stimulating energy and circulation is critical whether it’s through movement or eating hot foods that boost circulation.
Physically, Kapha individuals are heavier set, strong, and have thick hair. Your skin is on the oilier side, which means you have fewer wrinkles than most people. The downside is you may be prone to clogged pores, baggy eyes, and acne.
IN BALANCE YOU ARE…
Loving
Nurturing
Devoted
Radiant and strong
OUT OF BALANCE YOU ARE…
Apathetic
Lethargic
Heavy
Oily and prone to congestion
and excess mucous

HOW TO CARE FOR KAPHA SKIN
You have a normal to oily skin type.
Kapha-type skin reflects the qualities of the earth and water elements. When in balance, kapha skin is pale, soft, supple, cool and slightly moist. It has been said that people of kapha nature have skin like a china doll. When out of balance, this skin-type is prone to excess oil, cystic acne, large pores, congestion and excess moisture. Kapha skin has a generous amount of collagen that wards off premature wrinkles and signs of aging.
