AYURVEDIC FACIALS offer an authentic and rejuvenating experience tailored to your skin type.
Each facial begins with a deep cleansing of the face and neck, followed by a scrub with an ayurvedic herbal paste to exfoliate the skin.
Vital marma points on the face and neck will be massaged with a dosha specific oil to increase energy flow, remove blockages and help to relax facial muscles for a youthful appearance.
Herbal infused steam with organic essential oils will be applied to open the pores for best absorption of the ayurvedic face pack and medicated oils.
Our Rose facial with its toning and anti-aging effect is the perfect choice for sensitive and dry skin, while the Navara facial is particularily effective for acne, hyperpigmentation and any skin discolourations.
During the Navara facial rice filled poultices are applied and gently massaged on face and neck.
All our ayurvedic products are certified organic and freshly made to achieve best results on the skin.
In Ayurveda, skin types are classified based on the three doshas Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Vata skin is typically dry, rough and thin. It may be prone to flakiness and shows signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles more quickly. Hydrating oils and creams, gentle exfoliation and warm, nourishing foods help balance a typical Vata skin.
Pitta skin is usually sensitive, warm and has a tendency towards oiliness and breakouts. It often has a reddish or flushed appearance and can be prone to conditions like rashes, acne and inflammation. Cooling and soothing products, along with a diet rich in cooling foods like cucumber and mint, can help balance a typical Pitta skin.
Kapha skin is usually thick, oily and smooth. It can have a healthy glow but may be prone to clogged pores and acne due to excess oil production and sluggishness. Light, clarifying skin care products and a diet that includes bitter and astringent foods like apples and quinoa can help balance a typical Kapha skin.
Understanding your skin type according to ayurvedic doshas guides the selection of optimal skincare products as well as making personal lifestyle and diet choices for maintaining a healthy glow.
At our Ayurveda New Zealand clinic in Grey Lynn, an experienced and qualified therapist will start with a thorough assessment of your skin prior to the treatment to determine your dosha specific skin type and help select the most suitable ayurvedic facial treatment plan.

FAQs
Please contact us if you have questions that are not covered here.
What is Ayurveda?
Since 2010 we have brought the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurvedic health to New Zealand.
“Ayur” means life and “veda” means knowledge or science hence Ayurveda is often translated to mean the “Knowledge of Life”. Although Ayurveda has a history of over 5000 years, its principles are still equally applicable in modern New Zealand lifestyles.
At Ayurveda NZ we look to understand the root cause of an imbalance in order to correct the underlying condition or disease, rather than only treating the symptoms. Focused on maintaining mental and physical health from a holistic perspective, Ayurveda is also an excellent form of preventative medicine and rejuvenation.
The wisdom of Ayurveda encourages individuals to actively participate in maintaining their own good health in alignment with the different stages of their lives, the seasons, and the environment they live in.
At Ayurveda NZ we acknowledge the unique nature of each person and apply dietary, lifestyle, body therapies, and herbal remedies to assist in transformational processes.
Who makes the Sattva Botanicals range?
We do! Our organic ingredients are sourced ethically and blended by our team here in New Zealand to create the Sattva Botanicals products. This is why we can create a custom blend if you need one.
What is a Dosha and why does it matter?
Ayurveda acknowledges the unique nature of each person through individual constitutions (Doshas) and applies dietary and lifestyle adjustments, body therapies, and herbal remedies to assist in this transformational process.
You can find out more about Doshas here, and take the quiz to find your Dosha - or book an Ayurvedic Consultation and be guided through the process with Sarita.
What are the benefits of booking an Ayurvedic Consultation?
Having a one on one Ayurvedic Consult with Sarita means that we can talk about your concerns, identify your Dosha and recommend the treatments and botanicals best suited to you.
How do I book an Ayurvedic treatment?
You can either book a time using our booking app, or if you want to pay now but secure a time later by phone or email, just buy a Gift Voucher for yourself.
Why is my eating style relevant to Ayurveda?
At Ayurveda New Zealand we work with Ayurvedic Medicine, which recognises many causes of disease but stresses the root cause of most chronic conditions arise from imbalances in, or poor functioning of, the digestive system.
Undigested food and improper elimination of wastes accumulate as toxins in the body leading to dysfunctions. This is further compounded by unresolved emotional experiences and stress.
Whether a person is chronically ill or seeking a way to maintain good health Ayurveda has an important role to play.
According to Ayurveda, digestion is a subtle process that transforms food into consciousness.
Can I get a personalised Yoga Programme too?
Absolutely. We love yoga and Sarita can create a bespoke yoga therapy programme to suit you specifically.
