Below is an easy-reference guide that you can use to quickly identify which Maruva Naturals variation of this product is right for your facial skin. Our formulations marry ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with potent African and Indian botanicals, ensuring that each product supports your Dosha. Use this guide to select the perfect formulation that aligns with your Dosha’s elemental traits.
Kapha (Earth & Water): Kapha represents stability, moisture, and strength—but can lean toward heaviness and sluggishness. Kapha products invigorate and detoxify while gently balancing and stimulating the skin without adding oiliness.
Select this product if you identify with the below traits of Kapha skin/body type:
Body type/characteristics:
- Physique: Kapha individuals usually have a robust, strong, and sturdy build. They often possess a naturally muscular frame with a tendency to gain weight more easily due to their solid and stable constitution.
- Energy & Metabolism: Governed by the elements of earth and water, Kapha types generally have a slower metabolism and steady, enduring energy levels. They are grounded and calm, often showing resilience and stability in their demeanour.
- Temperament & Movement: Kapha types are typically calm, composed, and methodical. Their movements are slower and more deliberate, reflecting their grounded nature.
Skin:
- Thick & Moisturised: Kapha skin is naturally well-hydrated and has a smooth, resilient texture. This Dosha's skin type typically appears youthful and vibrant due to its inherent moisture.
- Oily & Congested: With a propensity for oiliness, Kapha skin can become congested, leading to dullness or clogged pores. The natural oils provide a protective barrier but may also result in breakouts if not balanced.
- Resilient: This skin type is generally more resistant to environmental damage and signs of aging. However, it requires regular cleansing to avoid build-up of excess oils and impurities.
- Signs to Watch For:
- Excess oil production;
- Dullness and congestion;
- Puffiness;
- Thick and heavy skin;
- Resilience to environmental damage.
