Vata Skincare Products
Vata skin is very dry, rough and thin skin. Any amount of body lotion, moisturizer on their skin will never be enough for them. Herbal oil like Nalpamaradi Thailam (esp with Tila Thaila base) is an excellent skin hydration for them. Doing a self-massage with this oil twice a day and taking a bath in lukewarm water with a liquid body wash or besan gram flour will give a plumpy and even-tone complexion. Avoid coarse powders or dry face mask on your skin.
