Abstract:
We all are creations of beautiful nature. There is no word as ugly in natures’ creations. The judgment of grades of beauty lies in the vision of viewer. One looks beautiful and radiant only when his inner beauty surfaces. This inner beauty is gained through yoga, meditation and use of natural beauty enhancers. Rupam, gunam and vayastyag are three parts of beauty. Proper digestion, assimilation and absorption is required for outer beauty i.e. rupam. Inner beauty i.e. gunam is achieved by following the satvit ahara and vihara. Meditation and abstinence from raja and tama leads to the qualitative measure of human beauty. Vayastyag i.e. looking much younger than physical age is another important aspect of beauty. Here, in this paper the factors which are responsible for enhancing and destructing these factors have been discussed in detail. Also effective measures according to doshas involved are discussed here. Skin care procedures forming the daily routine described in Ayurvedic literature consist of numerous formulas involving herb and other natural ingredients. This industry is flourishing nowadays with the need of having nourishment internally with the usual skincare routine or better overall results. Ayurveda based cosmetics are highly valued and priced due to their vast and proved effects.
