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.

Pitta (Fire & Water): Pitta embodies intensity, transformation, and clear energy—with a tendency toward sensitivity and heat. Pitta formulations are cooling and soothing, designed to calm inflammation and balance natural warmth.

Select this product if you identify with the below traits of Pitta skin/body type:

Body type/characteristics:

  • Physique: Pitta individuals tend to have a well-proportioned, medium build. They often exhibit a muscular or sturdy frame with a balanced metabolism.
  • Energy & Metabolism: Governed by the element of fire (tempered by water), they possess intense energy and a robust digestive fire. Their metabolism is efficient, but they can be prone to overheating and inflammation if their energy is not balanced.
  • Movement & Temperament: Pitta types are dynamic, determined, and passionate. Their high drive and ambition can sometimes translate into impatience or sensitivity to external heat and stress.

Skin:

  • Warm & Sensitive: Pitta skin typically has a warm, sometimes reddish, undertone. It is sensitive and can react quickly to heat, sunlight, and irritants, often leading to redness or mild inflammation.
  • Combination Tendencies: While certain areas of the skin may exhibit oiliness, others might lean toward dryness—especially when overexposed to heat or when the skin becomes inflamed.
  • Prone to Breakouts: The intensity of the Pitta dosha can make the skin more susceptible to acne, and rashes. This sensitivity often requires products that provide cooling, calming, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Signs to Watch For:
    • Visible redness and inflammation;
    • Frequent breakouts;
    • Burning or stinging sensations;
    • Pigmentation;
    • Excess oiliness in certain areas.
