I've got questions, and she has answers!
Ashley Gullotta is not only a certified Ayurvedic Aesthetician professionally, but she is also one of my very best friends and has been for a long time. Ayurveda has been a tremendously eye-opening experience in my knowledge with Ashley. I enjoy how she conducts her facials and explains precisely what products she uses on your skin.
Ashley's Ayurvedic facials have changed my beauty routine and perception of how I treat and care for my mind, body, and skin.
Let's dive right into some questions!
IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! SO THAT MEANS YOU ARE A LIBRA, RIGHT?!
Yes!!! But my moon is in cancer, according to western astrology.
THEN YOU ARE TECHNICALLY A CAPRICORN IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY?!
Yes, which I'm still processing!
CAPRICORNS ARE THE BEST; THEY ARE SO FOCUSED AND DOWN TO EARTH!
Thank you.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN BEGINNING AYURVEDIC SKINCARE?
I recommend seeing an Ayurvedic specialist who can customize your routine.
WHAT DOES A CUSTOMIZED ROUTINE LOOK LIKE FOR A NEW CLIENT?
It could be as simple as adding skincare ingredients like saffron into your routine or turmeric into your diet. I look at the skin to determine what is appropriate based on your dosha.
"The body, mind and spirit are intricately connected. Your skin reflects your overal health." – Ayurvedic Aesthetian Ashley Gullotta
WHAT IS "DOSHA?"
Doshas are the central element of Ayurveda and the basis of what makes it a personalized approach to help. Doshas are made up of five natural features that define the dosha's qualities
Earth
Water
Air
Fire
Space
I'M A MAJOR TEA LOVER; WHAT TEA DO YOU SUGGEST?
I would suggest a Tumeric and Ashwagandha tea or supplements.
I REMEMBER AFTER MY AYURVEDIC SKINCARE SESSION WITH YOU; YOU OFFERED ME A DELICIOUS TUMERIC TEA. I LOVED IT AND FELT GREAT AFTERWARDS.
Tumeric has so many incredible benefits that we can reap and is one of the botanicals that have perhaps received the most research worldwide. It helps reduce inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and many other chronic diseases.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO AYURVEDIC SKINCARE?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I took an introductory course in Ayurveda.
I liked the approach to skincare because Ayurvedic practitioners see it as an extension of their health.
CAN YOU GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL ABOUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH AYURVEDA?
Ayurveda has a lot of health benefits that date over 5,000 years, and it's a pretty complex system of medicine. I love applying its principles to skincare because it will balance and restore skin to natural health and beauty.
LASTLY, WHY SHOULD ANYONE CONSIDER AYURVEDA?
It's a holistic healthcare practice that can transform your health, life, and looks. You can learn more about my ayurvedic customized routine by visiting me on my Instagram account @ashleygullotta.
