Finding the Right Face Oil for Your Skin:
Choosing a right essential face oil starts with understanding your skin type.
Each PRATIMA formula is designed for a specific skin type and cleansing need.
VATA Essential Oil – For dry, dehydrated, or mature skin
PITTA Essential Oil – For combination or sensitive skin
KAPHA Essential Oil – For oily or congested skin
Rejuvenating Essential Oil – For very dry skin and night repair
Purifying Essential Oil – For problem or congested skin
Nourishing Essential Oil - For all skin types

In Ayurveda, healthy skin begins with balance and nourishment should be personalized. Your unique
Dosha - Vata, Pitta, or Kapha - influences what your skin needs. That’s why PRATIMA Face Essential Oils are thoughtfully
formulated for different constitutions and concerns, rather than as one universal oil. Each blend combines
Ayurvedic botanicals and nourishing oils to help restore balance, replenish the skin, and support its natural vitality.
Understand your skin. Nourish it according to its needs. Let healthy beauty follow.
What is an Ayurvedic face oil?
An Ayurvedic face oil is a botanical oil formulation created with Ayurvedic principles to nourish the skin according to
its unique needs and constitution. Rather than a one-size-fits-all oil, PRATIMA offers distinct formulations for Vata,
Pitta, and Kapha, as well as specific skin concerns.
Which face oil is best for dry skin?
For dry, dehydrated, or mature skin, Vata Face Essential Oil and Rejuvenating Face Essential Oil provide concentrated
botanical nourishment to help replenish moisture and restore softness, suppleness, and vitality.
Which face oil is best for oily or congested skin?
Kapha Face Essential Oil and Purifying Face Essential Oil are formulated for skin prone to excess oil, congestion, and blemishes.
Their carefully selected botanical oils help nourish the skin without leaving it feeling heavy.
Which face oil is best for sensitive skin?
Pitta Face Essential Oil and Rosacea Face Essential Oil are formulated with a focus on calming and soothing sensitive,
reactive, or easily irritated skin. Choose according to your skin’s individual needs and Ayurvedic constitution.
Can a face oil be part of a stress-relieving ritual?
Absolutely! In Ayurveda, facial oil massage is more than a skincare step - it can be a grounding ritual of self-care.
Gently massaging your Face Essential Oil into the skin can make your daily routine feel more calming,
intentional, and restorative.
Are PRATIMA Face Essential Oils herbal?
PRATIMA Face Essential Oils are concentrated botanical formulations made with carefully selected herbs, plants,
and nourishing oils. Each ingredient is chosen with purpose to create an intelligent blend for a particular
skin type, constitution, or concern.

Start with your skin’s needs and your Ayurvedic constitution. PRATIMA offers formulations for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha,
along with targeted options for concerns such as dryness, sensitivity, congestion, and signs of aging. If you're unsure,
take our Dosha Quiz to help guide your choice.
Where does Face Essential Oil fit into my skincare routine?

Can I layer Face Essential Oil with other PRATIMA products?
Yes. PRATIMA Face Essential Oils are designed to be part of a complete Ayurvedic skincare ritual. For the PRATIMA
layering ritual, combine your Face Essential Oil with Liposomes Vitamin C Serum after cleansing, then follow with
moisturizer. You can also use the Face Essential Oil on its own after cleansing whenever
your skin needs focused nourishment.
More than a face oil. A concentrated skin nourishment ritual. Pratima Face Essential Oils are intelligent
blends - not a single “hero” ingredient. Every botanical is selected for a purpose, creating potent formulations
designed to work with the skin rather than simply sit on its surface. From dryness and sensitivity to signs of
aging and loss of vitality, there is a Face Essential Oil formulated for your skin’s needs.
