What’s my dosha?
Ayurveda states there are three main body types, known
as doshas, these are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These doshas
express everything about us from our skin type and
physical characteristics, to our health and personality traits.
Take our quick questionnaire now to find out what your
dosha is... funkyskincare.com/urban-veda-whats-yourdosha/
Vata
Vata is defined in Ayurvedic literature by the elements air
and ether. These elemental effects dry and age skin, so the
most vital part of a Vata skincare regime is moisturising.
As one would imagine with the elements air and ether,
Vata types tend to spend, or dissipate, their energy rather
than store it. A balanced Vata type is full of creativity and
vitality, but when unbalanced, Vata types can suffer from
hyperactivity, fear and anxiety and indigestion, as well as
dry and uneven skin tone.
Pitta
Pitta is ruled by the element fire. Generally disciplined
and logical, this ‘heat’ frequently manifests as ambition,
Pitta types are born leaders, managing and controlling
their energy strategically. When in a state of balance, Pitta
types have positive attributes such as charisma, focus,
intelligence, a quick wit and contentment, but when out of
balance, excess Pitta can accumulate as irritability, a ‘hot’
temper and unprovoked bouts of aggression.
You may find that you fall between two
doshas, this is ok, you may need to use a
combination of ranges to achieve the results
you need. I like to see it as a chance to
experiment and change things up.
Ayurvedic skincare is a wonderful concept
and I believe that Urban Veda are bringing
an age old system into modern practices.
Are you unsure of your skin type or which
products to use on your skin, please get in

You may like to take the principals of
Ayurveda further, you can also find
Ayurvedia tea’s to start your morning
with the positive intentions. Yoga also
complements the Ayurvedia practices well.

right for you. Written by Sarah Gare.
Kapha
Kapha is ruled by the elements earth and water. Generally
quite loving and forgiving by nature, Kapha types tend
to store their energy. They are the least likely to fall
out of balance, but when they do this can manifest as
being sluggish, slow and overweight, and mentally they
can develop feelings of insecurity or envy. This overaccumulation
of energy is evident in slow decision-making
tendencies.
Tri-Doshic
Tri-doshic types benefit from neutral products suitable for
all three doshas, similarly all dosha types can use tri-doshic
products. The tridoshic skincare range is beneficial for all
skin types and is particularly supportive of mature skin in
need of replenishment and repair. Utilising ingredients
that induce relaxation, combat the signs of aging,
as well as possessing balancing and regulating
properties.
