Beauty always captures attention and no wonder, beauty care programmes have a great significance in our lifestyle. Ayurvedic beauty care programmes available at any kerala ayurvedic resort have found many takers because of the distinct approach to beauty and health. Beauty is inseparable from health and the Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to enhance the inner as well as exterior beauty, at the same time to maintain our health and wellbeing

Outer beauty is characterised by the texture of the skin, hair and nails. Ayurvedic treatments like oil massages help to keep the lustre of the skin and at the same time they make the body healthy. ``You can see wrinkles, pigmentation etc only on an unhealthy body and skin; in Ayurveda, beauty care essentially involves rejuvenating the body and retaining it in healthy conditions, so that the unhealthy signs will disappear from the body,’’ says Radhakrishna, an Ayurvedic student from Warangal.

Massages ensure proper blood circulation through the body and this therapy itself helps in keeping the lustre of the skin. There are various kinds of massages employed in Ayurveda. Various medicated oils and herbal concoctions used in these therapies help in retaining the beauty as well as the vigour of the body. Ayurveda also prescribes particular diets in order to maintain the glow of skin and face. Steam bath, intake of fruit and herbal juices etc are part of beauty care programmes in Ayurveda.
