Meditate To Achieve Clear Skin That Illuminates

Many of us, often find ourselves struggling to achieve a radiant complexion or acne free skin, even though we are using all the right products. This can be very frustrating, but fret not, we are here to shed some light on why this may be the case. Using the right products in the right way and following indulgent skincare routines might help you achieve the clear skin that you always longed for, but these regimens work better when paired with a holistic approach to our way of living; which is also the very premise of Ayurveda. In these trying times, dynamic circumstances are taking a toll on our health and mental wellbeing, which in turn can invite undue stress into our lives. Stress doesn’t not only impact our inner peace but also has severe repercussions on our skin, including acne, early signs of aging, and hair fall.

Ayurveda suggests that a person’s inner vitality, ‘Ojas’ channels out as ‘Tejas’ with naturally illuminating skin. So, how do you strike a balance to achieve inner strength, peace and glowing skin?

“Meditation”, a practice prevalent since the ancient times, has been known to induce a sense of calm as it creates a gentle space for you to slow down and enjoy the process of taking care of yourself, while becoming aware about your surroundings. It doesn’t only reduce stress but also strengthens immunity and promotes mental wellbeing. It is best performed in a serene and tranquil surrounding to aid in aligning your thoughts better, as you unwind. Craft a pleasant ambience with the calming fragrance of a steam distilled diffuser oil, while you meditate. May we suggest exploring the Forest Essentials’ range of Diffuser Oils, which offers a selection of pure steam distilled essentials oils of flowers, sourced from their native towns across India, to suffice the purity and authenticity. As we envelope the surroundings in invigorating and refreshing notes of freshly plucked flowers, it uplifts our senses and attracts positivity. Fragrances also have the ability to transport you to a serene setting and induce calm.

Skin Benefits of Meditation

• Meditation helps you feel healthier, calmer and younger! Excess development of the ‘stress hormone’ can lead to weight gain, disturbed sleeping patterns, and worst of all, hamper your mental peace. Due to this, the skin becomes fragile and shows early signs of aging, with fine lines and wrinkles being more prominent as the collagen production within the skin cells decreases. With loss of elasticity, the skin looks dull as it feels unhealthy… As you practice to center your thoughts and become more aware about your inner self, your skin naturally starts radiating your inner calm. Spritz the Forest Essentials Room Surround Spray of your choice to lightly scent the surroundings, before you step into a relaxing meditation session.
• Meditation slows the aging process. Yes, you read that right. As you attain inner calm and mental peace, you begin to live a happier life…With regular practice, meditation helps lower blood pressure, treats insomnia, and relaxes muscle tension. And we know that all of this has a direct impact on your skin. When you feel and stay healthy, the skin cells produce natural sebum, filled with happy hormones, that balance the skin and maintain its elasticity. As a result, the skin achieves a healthy glow and a plumped look.
• Meditation helps achieve clear skin. Regular meditation reduces cortisol level in the body, which is responsible for pimples and acne. Increased levels of cortisol can lead to excess oil or sebum production in the skin, that in turn causes acne which often leave scars or marks on the skin. Along with a healthy diet intake and effective skincare routine, practice meditation regularly to restore glow and clear skin.
