What’s included

Everything you get in one session

In 40 minutes you’ll know more about your skin than years of trial and error with the wrong products.

Skin dosha assessment

Identify whether your skin is Vata, Pitta, or Kapha — and what that means for your daily routine, product choices, and long-term skin health.

Live visual skin examination

Shanel assesses your skin live on camera — dryness, texture, redness, breakouts — and identifies visible imbalances that go beyond your skin type.

Personalized skincare plan

A written protocol emailed after your session covering your natural routine, targeted product recommendations, and dietary tips specific to your skin.

Your skin type

Which skin dosha are you?

Ayurveda identifies three skin types — each with its own tendencies, needs, and natural solutions. Understanding yours is the first step to lasting skin health.

Vata skin

Dry · Delicate · Thin

Prone to dryness and dehydration

Fine lines and roughness appear early

Needs deep hydration and nourishing oils

Pitta skin

Sensitive · Reactive · Warm

Prone to redness and inflammation

Breakouts and heat-related sensitivity

Needs cooling and calming care

Kapha skin

Oily · Resilient · Thick

Prone to excess oil and congestion

Enlarged pores and dullness

Needs detoxification and deep cleansing

It’s not always that simple — and that’s exactly why an analysis matters.

Combination doshas

Many people have a combination of two doshas — for example, Vata-Pitta skin that is both dry and sensitive. Your dominant dosha shapes your skin’s natural tendencies, but a secondary dosha can influence how it behaves in different seasons or situations.

Skin type vs. skin imbalance

Your skin type is your baseline constitution — it doesn’t change. But your current imbalance can be very different from your type’s tendencies. A Kapha skin type can experience dryness. A Vata type can break out. Treating the imbalance, not just the type, is what creates lasting results.

What your skin analysis discovers

An Ayurvedic skin analysis identifies both your skin type and your current imbalance — because they are often different. Once we understand both, we can prepare your skin to properly target the imbalance at its root, rather than just managing surface symptoms with the wrong products.
