Kapha - oily - acne skin

Influenced by the natural elements of Water and Earth, Kapha skin is somewhat oilier and thicker, requiring a boost in metabolism and reduced sebum production. This skin is characterized by high shine and increased sebum production, but can also be dehydrated. Along with dirt and dead skin cells, excess sebum accumulates in the sebaceous glands, making the skin more susceptible to problems caused by increased sebum production. These include acne, enlarged pores, comedones (blackheads), and cysts.

Strengths of the Kapha skin:
• the skin is less likely to develop wrinkles or lines
• a beautiful thick and firm skin

Points of attention for Kapha skin:
• the skin suffers from reduced blood circulation
• the skin looks pale
• clogged pores, impurities and acne

Kapha is the heavy and stagnant energy that causes tissue growth in our external and internal bodies. Heaviness in the body, excessive fluid retention, waste retention, feelings of depression, and rapid weight gain are all consequences of an excessively high Kapha dosha. Your skin therefore needs the right skincare to support its self-healing capacity and restore its balance. The Kapha line features low-impact products. These products gently nourish the skin, regulate sebum production, and stimulate blood circulation. They are also deeply cleansing and refine the structure of enlarged pores.

We recommend the following products:

• Kapha Purifying Gel with Jojoba
• Kapha Perfection Tonic with Tea Tre e
• Detox serum
• Kapha Pure light cream, mattifying cream with Sage

• Kapha Sebo Balance Cream with Turmeric (Turmeric)

• Kapha Sebum Balancing Mask

• Kapha Anti-spot “Roll-On” with Spike Lavender 10ml (limited edition)

The best of nature for your most beautiful skin

Lakshmi's 100% natural skincare. Precious blends of pure natural ingredients, essential oils, and select medicinal herbs support your skin. Lakshmi's skincare, based on Ayurvedic philosophy, supports your skin's natural rhythm with a care concept of cleansing, exfoliating, strengthening and neutralizing, nourishing, and vitalizing. This rhythm is reflected in both the cleansing ritual and the day and night care products.

Discover the 6 steps of the Lakshmi Beauty Concept that are suitable for your skin type.

Step 1 & 2 is cleansing and peeling

Are you paying enough attention to cleansing and exfoliating your skin? This is the first step in the Lakshmi Beauty Concept and the foundation for beautiful, balanced skin. Treat yourself and your skin to a fresh start to the day and a good night's rest with products like the Kapha Purifying Gel with Jojoba . This deep cleansing gently cleanses the skin and prepares it for the next steps of your skincare routine.

It's good to know that you don't need to mix this with water to ensure the active ingredients can be thoroughly massaged in. If you suffer from acne and deep inflammation, we recommend using the Soft Chandan Peeling Gommage 2 to 3 times a week. The apricot kernel extract in this peel has a smoothing effect on the stratum corneum. It's highly recommended to let it work for a while as a lysing mask before exfoliating. The papaya extract in this peel contains enzymes that weaken the intercellular cement that loosens the epidermal cells and helps dissolve pore-clogging impurities, making them easier to remove. This will leave the upper skin layer feeling lighter, smoother, and softer, with a natural feeling of freshness and a fantastic glow.
Tip! Don't scrub if you have active acne or inflammation, but use it as a lysing mask.

Step 3 is strengthen and neutralize

Strengthening and neutralizing the skin's pH is step two in Lakshmi's care ritual.

The Kapha Perfection Tonic with Tea Tree stimulates your skin's self-healing abilities, soothes oily, blemished skin, and brings it back into balance. Spread the lotion over your face in your hands and then gently press it into your skin with your fingertips. This product is suitable for use morning and evening after cleansing. Healing plant extracts, such as Propolis and Clary Sage, activate your skin's metabolism and promote a healthy complexion.

Tip: This fine tonic soaked into a sheet mask is suitable as a mask to reduce enlarged pores, reduce sebum production, normalize it and restore the skin's clarity, circulation and freshness.

Step 4: Vitalize

A serum is a crucial step in deeply restoring your skin. Therefore, we recommend applying the Kapha Detox Serum before your day and night cream. This oil-free serum stimulates the recovery process. It helps your skin regenerate and restores its natural balance, resulting in radiant skin. In addition to a cream serum, Lakshmi also offers an oil serum based on precious plant extracts. You can use the Immortel oil serum more as a night serum in winter or when your skin needs more nourishment.

Step 5 is balancing

For skin problems and to help the skin regain its balance more quickly, Lakshmi recommends using a mask twice a week.

The Kapha Sebum Balancing Mask helps the skin remove dirt and can absorb excess sebum. Regular use of a face mask also removes dead skin cells, keeping your skin clearer for longer, preventing clogged pores, and giving you radiant skin.

Step 6 – Care and feeding

The final step in the Lakshmi Beauty Ritual is to care for and nourish.

Morning – care
For your skin type, we recommend the Kapha Pure light cream, a mattifying cream with Sage . Thanks to the action of ginger essential oil and a mix of other detoxifying ingredients, including Ayurvedic Guggul extract, which has a strong protective effect, this day cream normalizes excessive sebum production and removes blackheads and impurities.

Evening – feeding
When you unwind at night and process everything you've experienced during the day, your skin is busy recovering. That's why we recommend the antibacterial Kapha Sebo Balance Cream with Turmeric for evening use. This night cream provides impulses that stimulate this nighttime recovery process. It contains essential oils of Salvia and Turmeric, combined with the gemstones Ruby, Opal, and Zinc, which remove free radicals and improve overall skin metabolism. It boosts metabolism and renews the epidermis, providing deep nourishment and hydration.

Complete your care ritual

Skin problems arise from stagnation and acidification of our cells. Poor nutrient and waste removal during periods of stress is more common than unusual. Therefore, complete your skincare routine with the detoxifying Tisama Kapha Dren herbal tea and follow an alkalizing nutritional protocol, supplemented with alkaline supplements. This will help eliminate waste products from within and replenish mineral and vitamin deficiencies, contributing to a matte, inflammation-free complexion.

Extra tips! With the Coconut Eye Makeup Remover, you can gently cleanse the sensitive skin around your eyes, and with the H2O micellar water, you can gently cleanse both your face and eyes, removing all makeup residue.
