What is Vata dosha and Vata type skin?


In Ayurveda, Vata dosha is the combination of air and space energies. When out of balance, Vata type skin can manifest as dry, dehydrated, dull, and flaky with signs of premature aging.

Beauty Editor Approved

I love how simple this oil blend is, made with sweet almond oil, sesame oil and the essential oils of sweet orange, rose, cardamom and geranium. It doesn’t feel overly greasy, yet is extremely nourishing. A little goes a long way- you only need 2-3 drops to help smooth and soften your skin.

Finally, skin feels rejuvenated

I've just started using the Vata Oil. It only took one application to make a difference in my skin. My face doesn't feel "thirsty" anymore, living in a dry desert climate.

Beautiful facial care!

This is a wonderfully hydrating oil. Paired with the Liposome product, it is my go to for deep, nourishing skin care.

Heaven in a Bottle !

Another Pratima gem, this facial oil is heavenly. I use it twice a day after cleansing and will continue. The scent is beautiful - a Vata gift if ever there was one! Never felt so lucky to be using Vata products; this is magical almost!

Part of my daily routine

I have been using Vata Face Essential Oil for years and absolutely cannot be without it! Vata Face Oil nourishes my skin without making it feel oily. I use it at night and in the morning and often pat the very faintest amount of Vata Oil on my face over make up to create a lovely moist finished look to my skin.

Vata Season

I love this product in the late Fall/Winter for Vata season - allows skin to stay very hydrated when it's dry + cold outside. LOVE!

They said, “young looking 61 year old”

I had a routine procedure & the anesthesiologist & Nurse said I looked like a young 61 year old. They asked for my secret & I said Pratima! I spelled it for them so they would be sure to find it online. I told them the Vata oil for dry skin works wonders & the sunscreen has helped me avoid sun damage for several years. Thank you Pratima for such great products!

Deeply nourishing

I’ve been using Vata essential oil for almost ten years and it seems as if my skin hasn’t aged. I’m 39 but people tell me my skin looks like I’m in my 20’s. It simply feels amazing and is the only thing that works for dry skin.

My must-have daily skin oil

I have dry skin, and I've been using the vata oil for more than 10 years to preserve the skin on my face and give it a natural glow. My skin drinks it in each morning and within 10 minutes it's oil free so that I can apply makeup. People always comment that I look younger than my age.

Another Pratima favorite!

The Vata face oil feels so good going on, it wonderfully hydrates my skin- yet never feels oily- and my face has a healthy glow to it. (I am in my 50s.) My skin knows when I am out of the Vata face oil! I love it.

Grounding and nourishing

I usually just use the Pitta oil, but I'm a combo dosha-- equal parts Pitta and Vata, and this winter, my skin was feeling drier, so I decided to add this to my routine. It's a beautiful fragrance and feels so soothing around my eyes and cheeks. I'm really happy that I bought this. So far, my skin's loved it.

Great Product

I have been using Vata facial oil for several years…in particular around the sensitive area around my eyes. It’s extremely moisturizing and has kept wrinkles at bay!

In my rotation

I recently tried this essential oil after using mainly pitta and the rejuvenating oils. I find that my face feels very smooth and definitely not dry after using it, however, if your skin is on the dryer side, the rejuvenating oil tends to be more hydrating and lasts longer than this one. Overall it's great and the scent is so relaxing.

Wonderful essential oil

My vata skin is dry and needs moisture. I love this essential oil because it makes me feel like I am nourishing it every day. Within days of starting to use it, my skin felt better. I pair it with the liposomes, and it's wonderful.

Smells divine

I love how moisturizing and nourishing this oil is and it smells divine. I don't need any perfume. I know its healing to my dry mature skin which looks more plump after I apply the oil! It's amazing and I'll reorder it again and again!

SMELLS AMAZING

First of all, this essential oil smells AMAZING. I use the vata essential oil in the winter to help manage dryness, and for my eyes all year round.

Wonderful!

This beautiful vata oil is great for drier skin, and especially wonderful in the fall/winter seasons. My skin is pitta/vata, so I typically use this oil during fall/winter season (then switch to pitta in spring/summer). It also smells wonderful!

Transformative

The fragrance of Vata Essential Oil placed just under my chin and nose transports me to a calm, happier place. Perhaps it’s just so delightful it makes me want to breath in deeper to enjoy the complex scent?
