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.

Vata (Air & Ether): Vata is light, creative, and spontaneous—but often prone to dryness and instability. Vata formulations focus on gentle hydration, nourishment, and grounding care for skin.

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

Body type/characteristics:

  • Physique: Typically lean and light, with a delicate build and narrow shoulders. Vata types often have a smaller bone structure and lower body fat.
  • Energy & Metabolism: Vata individuals tend to experience fluctuating energy levels and variable digestion. They might feel cold easily and can be prone to irregular nourishment, which further emphasises inherent dryness.
  • Movement & Temperament: Their movements and thoughts are often quick, agile, and spontaneous, reflecting the airy, light qualities of this dosha.

Skin:

  • Dryness: Vata skin is naturally dry and may lack sufficient moisture. This dryness can lead to a rough or flaky texture and may contribute to premature fine lines.
    Delicate: The skin is typically thin and more sensitive to environmental stressors such as cold, wind, or low humidity. This sensitivity can increase the risk of irritation and dehydration.
  • Lack of Natural Oils: With a lower tendency to produce sebum, Vata skin benefits significantly from regular, deep moisturisation. It requires nourishing, occlusive ingredients that help lock in moisture and protect its barrier function.
  • Signs to Watch For:
    • Dullness or a lackluster appearance;
    • Occasional irritation or tightness after exposure to harsh weather conditions;
    • A propensity for flakiness or light cracking in extremely dry conditions.
