54 - Sonia Lloyd: Is Your Skin Care Aging You?
Today Jody meets Sonia Lloyd from Rasara Skinfood about how to treat your skin using the principles of Ayurveda. After a skin flare up in her late teens Sonia tried many things unsuccessfully to treat the problem.
Fast forward to today and Sonia now owns an Ayurvedic Skin & Hair Care range that is so pure you can literally eat it.
In our conversation today we cover the magic healing properties of castor oil and how it is an absolute gift for the skin. We discuss the different skin problems that each of the doshas can experience and the remedies they can use to treat them. Sonia explains how you can create your own moisturizer by combining a good quality oil and water and why water is such an important ingredient in skin care.
We talk about hair care, shampoo and what doshas benefit from washing their hair regularly and those who don't.
So many aha moments in this episode. If you or someone you love has skin issues you won't want to miss this one.
