Sun Care

Sun exposure can leave skin dry, heated, sensitive, or depleted. PRATIMA's Ayurvedic sun care collection helps protect, cool, and replenish skin with soothing botanicals and nourishing plant oils - before, during, and after sun exposure.

The Right Sun Care for Your Skin:

The Ayurvedic Perspective
FAQs
The PRATIMA Edge

In Ayurveda, the sun is associated with Pitta, the dosha of heat and transformation. Too much heat can leave the skin 

feeling warm, flushed, sensitive or depleted. Ayurvedic sun care focuses on helping the skin maintain its natural 

balance,  using cooling, soothing and nourishing botanicals to support skin after exposure to heat and the elements. 

Rather than treating sun care as a single step, PRATIMA approaches it as a ritual of preparation, protection and 

replenishment, depending on what the skin needs.

What is Ayurvedic sun care?

Ayurvedic sun care takes a holistic approach to caring for skin exposed to sun and heat. It focuses on keeping skin

 nourished, hydrated and balanced with purposeful herbs, botanicals and plant oils.


How does Ayurveda view sun exposure?

In Ayurveda, excessive heat and sun exposure are associated with an increase in Pitta, which may show up as warmth,

 redness, sensitivity or dehydration. Cooling and soothing skincare can help support the skin's natural balance.


What should I use on skin after sun exposure?

After sun exposure, skin may benefit from cooling hydration and gentle nourishment. A lightweight hydrating gel can help

 replenish and refresh the skin, while Healing Neem Oil can provide additional botanical nourishment when the skin needs it.


Is Ayurvedic sun care suitable for sensitive skin?

Ayurvedic sun care can be appropriate for sensitive skin when formulas are gentle and focused on nourishing and 

calming the skin. Choose products according to your skin's individual needs and avoid applying

 products to irritated or compromised skin unless appropriate.


Can I use sun care products every day?

Yes. Sun care can be part of a daily skincare ritual, particularly when spending time outdoors. 

Your routine can include products that hydrate, nourish and soothe the skin before or after sun exposure.

PRATIMA's Ayurvedic sun care approach goes beyond sun protection. Our formulas use purposeful herbs, 

botanicals and plant oils to help skin stay nourished, calm and balanced before and after sun exposure.
