Dosha, in Ayurvedic terms, is roughly equivalent to our own Western skin care types. "Pitta" in Ayurveda literally translates to "On Fire." The Ayurvedic physicians recognized inflammation long before we in the West caught onto it being the underlying cause of many disease conditions. This skin type is prone to redness, spider veins, blemishes, and oftentimes extreme sensitivity.
PITTA REGIMEN - 2X Daily (AM & PM)
(Compatible with: Rosacea, Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, Blemishes, and other Sensitive Skin Conditions).
Cleanse you face morning and evening with this specialized SBR Cleanser. Featuring calming active botanicals and vitamins, this product soothes and heals while deep cleansing. Only a small amount is needed, gently massage on damp skin, and let it sit for a moment before rinsing. Leave skin damp (not wet).
Instantly calms inflamed skin! Spritz the Hydrator/Toner onto your face, disperse over damp skin. Please note (if you experience any increased redness or irritation) that in some particularly sensitive individuals and/or advanced rosacea this product may have to be diluted step-wise (we suggest distilled water) as much as 75:25 (water:hydration ratio) at first, then 50:50, etc. We suggest 1 week at each level before progressing. Leave skin slightly damp.
For our Rosacea clients who have wrinkles, fine lines etc., that they wish to address. We formulated our Peptide Complex to be gentle enough for sensitive and rosacea skin types, and it also includes Neem and Seabuckthorn for Rosacea control.
This product is the 'big gun' in the SBR line. It should be applied last (but before using SunProtect) in your twice daily regimen. SBR Serum is a highly concentrated formula that treats inflammation at its source. It has White Willow Bark Extract (Salicylic Acid), Neem, Comfrey, Gotu Kola, Cold-pressed & essential oils to strengthen barrier, retain elasticity, reduce inflammation, and remove free radicals for brighter, healthier complexion. Prevents future flare-ups.
SBR EXFOLIATOR/ MASK (2-3X times a week):
The SBR Papaya & Honey Facial Mask is perfect 2-in-1 exfoliator/mask for sensitive skin and is an integral component of a healthy Pitta skin care regimen. It works gently to pull debris from pores, encouraging cell regeneration. The result is an even and glowing complexion. Post-cleansing, apply as a thin layer and leave on for 5-60 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
