According to Ayurveda, an excess of vata directly contributes to skin dryness. Vata dosha, characterized by traits like dryness, coldness, mobility, roughness, and clarity, is closely associated with this condition. As the body’s largest organ, the skin comprises water, proteins, fats, and minerals, serving as a protective barrier against heat, infections, light, and injuries. Nerve endings within the skin, aid in temperature regulation and sensory perception of cold and heat. In India, approximately 42% of the population suffers from dry skin. Dehydration, added by factors like frequent use of soap, exposure to hard water, dry atmospheric conditions, genetics, hot baths, and aging can contribute to the development of dry skin.
