Episode 409: Skin Deep: Ayurveda’s Guide to Autumn Balance
As the seasons shift, your skin tells a story. Autumn’s dry, cool winds can bring flakiness, sensitivity, or dullness, while lingering summer heat may still trigger redness or irritation. Ayurveda teaches us that these changes aren’t random, they’re reflections of dosha balance, digestion, and even our emotions.
In this episode, we explore how to keep your skin radiant and resilient during autumn by understanding the connection between seasonal shifts, inner health, and emotional wellbeing. You’ll learn how Vata and Pitta influence the skin at this time of year, why seasonal cleansing is key for preventing imbalance, and simple Ayurvedic rituals that nourish both inside and out.
You'll discover:
Why autumn is a sensitive time for the skin
Dosha-specific tendencies and skin challenges in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha types
The role of digestion and seasonal cleansing in radiant skin
Emotional imbalances that can show up on the skin
Ayurvedic rituals: oil cleansing, abhyanga, hydrating masks, diet, and grounding routines
Your skin is more than surface deep, it’s a reflection of your inner balance. Join me in this episode to discover how Ayurvedic wisdom can help you move into autumn with vitality, resilience, and a healthy glow.
