VANITY is good for YOU


At Pure + Simple, we use Ayurveda as one of the tools along with skincare science and holistic health to help clients attain the skin and look they want.

But as a client, Ayurveda is a great instrument to help you keep your skin beautiful while helping you feel more connected to your environment and yourself. I find it a great tool to keep my general health, mind body spirit, balanced.

In Ayurveda, nothing is innately right or wrong, good or bad. It depends. So our skincare advice for you at Pure + simple will not be the same as your fiend or your sister. It will not be the same in summer and winter and it may not be exactly the same day to day.

Our appearance has great impact on how we feel about aging. But not just in the end result of how we look to others.

Caring about your appearance includes caring for your skin. Skincare in turn supports a healthy youthful circulatory system which in turn maintains good health.

The circulatory system runs in the 3 layers of the skin. When one’s skin is dry the capillaries below become less elastic and function less efficiently to bring nutrition to cells and to remove cellular debris and toxins. Therefore being increasingly dry, pigmented and red skin affects the functioning of the circulatory system and the deterioration of the circulatory system results in drier skin.

Therefore VANITY can contribute to our wellbeing when we are wise and proactive. Keeping our skin moist will not only keep the surgeon’s knife at bay but it will also help us feel better. When capillaries function properly we feel the benefits of good blood flow. In the face it could mean better eye sight and better brain function. In the legs it could mean slimmer legs, less cellulite and dry skin.

So be vain and get moisturizing.


I will be discussing different strategies for keeping skin moist throughout the day and the year.
