TRIDOSHIC SKIN
The specificities
Tridoshic refers to an equal balance of the Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. According to Ayurveda , an individual's constitution, known as Prakriti , is determined at the time of conception. Prakriti is made up of a unique ratio of Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, and one or two of these doshas is usually predominant. However, some people are born with an equal balance of the three doshas, known as the tridoshic constitution.
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Although tridoshic refers to a balanced relationship of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, it is not necessarily a natural state of balance for all individuals. In Ayurveda, balance is assessed by looking at a person's Vikriti (current imbalance of doshas) of a person versus their Prakriti (biological makeup.) As such, tridoshic should not be viewed as a goal or a way to achieve balance.
Those with a tridoshic constitution tend to be stable, focused, and at peace with themselves. Their minds tend to be balanced between alert and relaxed, and their bodies are strong and healthy. The imbalance in those with a tridoshic constitution is caused by too much travel or poor diet. This can lead to poor digestion, sleep disturbances, and anxiety.
