The Autumn Ritual
Autumn is Vāta season: dry, cool and windy, and our skin feels it as tightness, flaking and dullness. In Ayurveda we meet it with its opposites: warmth, moisture and oil.
Every morning
1. Cleanse
Mix a little Anunda with a few drops of water into a cream. Massage over face and neck, then rinse with lukewarm water, never hot.
2. Mist
Mist Chanda onto damp skin. On the driest days, layer 2 or 3 mists.
3. Oil + serum
Mix one pump each of Immortal Oil and Immortal Serum in your palm and press into still-damp skin.
4. Seal
Warm a pea-size bit of Haima between your fingertips and pat it in.
Every evening
1. Oil cleanse
Massage a few pumps of White Pine Oil or Surya over dry skin. Lay a warm, damp cloth over your face for a breath or two, then wipe away.
2–4. Then mist, oil + serum and seal, just as in the morning.
Once a week
Deep drink mask
Blend Soma with a few mists of Chanda and a pump each of Immortal Oil and Serum. Leave on 10–30 minutes, or overnight.
Every day, for the body + lips
Warm oil massage
Abhyanga is Ayurveda's great medicine for Vāta. Warm Shishira in your hands and massage it in before or after bathing.
Lips
Keep Sarala close as the wind picks up.
