External appearance of oneself has a great impact on human life and skin is the basic element of outer appearance. Quality of skin reflects inner vitality and health. To keep oneself fit, beautiful and healthy at all ages, Ayurveda has proposed numerous suggestions that if followed properly maintain health and skin. Ayurveda is blended with some unique principles, Sara concept being one of them which is described as essence of all Dhatu. Among eight kinds of Sara, most of the characteristics of Twak and Rakta Sara individuals are reflected through skin appearance. Assessment of skin texture in these Sara individuals can help to understand the specific pattern or characteristics of skin and susceptibility towards specific skin abnormality which can also helps to explore the methods of improving skin quality thereby preventing deterioration of skin quality.
