The Air-Skin Connection: Protecting Your Skin from Pollution

Importance of air, Vayu, is well captured in Vayu Gayatri mantra, ”Om Sarvapranaya Vidhmahe Yashtihastaya Dhimahi Thanno Vayuh Prachodayat”

Translation in English: ”Om, let me meditate on the life-giving air One who holds the scepter, give me higher intellect, And let the God of Winds illuminate my mind.”

The Vayu Gayatri Mantra invokes the importance of air and thus helps us in maintaining a clean environment and prevents air pollution and air-borne diseases. The best time to chant is in the evening.

Air is important to sustain life and growth. It maintains our body temperature and is a supplier of energy. Our skin is a reflection of our health. Even after following a healthy diet, if our skin all of a sudden loses its glow, we get worried. One of the reasons for skin getting dull is air pollution, which has a negative impact on our skin. The toxic pollutants are absorbed in our skin leading to many skin problems and hence it is essential to protect our skin or else it may lead to irritation, premature ageing, skin cancer, acne, large pores etc.

Various air pollutants can affect our skin. A few of them are described below.

1. Cigaratte smoking - It reduces the water in our skin, leading to dehydration and damaging the collagen and elastin, causing premature aging, deep wrinkles, etc.

2. Smog - Combination of low-level ozone, dust particles, and pollutants such as carbon monoxide lead to skin aging.

3. Ultra Violet rays – Unprotected exposure to the sun’s ultra violet rays can damage the skin, eyes, and our immune system, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation, sun burns and skin cancer.

4. Automobile exhaust – Exposure to chemicals and fumes from automobile exhaust lead to pigmentation, premature greying, and skin cancer.

5. Nano particle pollutants – These particles block the pores and get trapped inside, leading to skin problems.

Protection of the Skin

It is not possible to avoid indoor and outdoor air pollution. However, we can protect our skin by

a. Eating healthy food
b. Exercising regularly
c. Drinking ample water
d. Avoiding smoking as it narrows the blood vessels, thereby affecting blood flow and oxygen supply to our skin, leading to collagen and elastin fiber damages.
e. Using a good moisturizer to hydrate the skin
f. Sun protection by using a sun screen
g. Having ample sleep to rejuvenate our skin
h. Washing our face regularly with a face wash to remove the dirt
i. Steaming our face once or twice in a week

By reducing air pollution and taking simple steps to protect our skin,we can keep our skin healthy and glowing.
After all, "Reducing air pollution can lead to healthier skin"

As we celebrate International Yoga Day today, let's reflect on Yog - Our Cosmic Existence!
Yog as per Ancient Indian Wisdom is the holistic way for realising our true self and in this process attain Peace, Health and Wellbeing. Sustainability, Prosperity and Harmony comes naturally too.
Yog is a personal evolutionary journey in our life context and position.
In todays parlance, "Being" is to "Yog"; what "Doing" is to "Yoga".
A clarity through our life "Profiling", helps in "Discovering self", and with this clarity, we prepare ourselves by "Enhancing our Wellness", so that we can now undertake a life transformative journey by directing our efforts towards meaning and purpose in life.
Invite all to begin their evolution journey - to be the Ultimate Version of the Self.

I fondly remember honouring her with roses on World Womens Day, 8th March, 2024, when we went to Sri Shanmukhananda Charitable Hospital to share our appreciation and gratitude to the wonderful social work being done by her and her team. She graciously received us and shared her thoughts, warmth and radiant smile. We never knew it will be so short and sudden departure. Rest in Peace - a wonderful soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Check-Up is not sufficient for a healthy life when we need to Check-In!
Reasons, logics and excuses do not work in our life's utmost priority.

What can trigger a Life Transformation?
There is always a personal story which many of us have in our path to Spirituality. Spirituality in our own way - A Prayer, A Belief, A Trust, An Experience and mostly a twist of Luck and Grace, one or all of it.
As 700+ years old Paduka of Swami Nrusimha Saraswati Maharaj did Parikrama for 30 days in Homes, Mathas and Temples of Mumbai, coming from a distant place Kumshi at the border of Karnataka, our heart rejoiced at every occasion.
A smile emanating from the silver statue of Swami Nrusimha Saraswati Maharaj, amidst the enchanting shlokas, prayers, kirtans and songs, had a secret message - a rahasyam! While do it all "without", take a journey "within" too. In this journey, simplicity and silence are the essential qualification!
Everyone took his/her orchestrated role with full of enthusiasm. Constraints of time and space got washed off in the richness of heart and belief (ashtha). Humble Chawls and Big Bungalows received the same attention. Same respect reflected to an aspirant MP and a Office Helper alike.
We are different outwardly but same otherwise. This is Real India where we touch feet of a person who is a Guru Personified. When an eighty year old touches a feet of 20 year younger to him, its not body and mind being respected, its a symbolic role play and a God within. In the same pureness, it has to be reflected to the God within, in the other. Giving respect is transformative but getting respect is very humbling, lest you wanna spoil yourself with an ego trip.
In our journey within, as we drop what "Is not" and remain with "what essentially is", let's remember that every one is on the same trip!
Truth shines in its simplicity and grandeur!
How can one communicate "A Tryst with the Guru" - A realisation?
Only by helping others to "see" what one has "seen"!
He himself was not the "Seer" but "the Seen"!
May wisdom within "The Guru" guide us in our transformative journey.
Can there be a bigger gratitude and blessings than a graceful smile which spreads unconditionally and without measures to everyone, like a sun rays?!
