Beauty from the Inside Out
A One-Day Ayurvedic Beauty & Skincare Workshop
7 November 2026 | 10.30am–4pm | Porto | €45
When I was studying Ayurveda in my early 30s, we spent a whole module exploring Ayurvedic beauty and skincare rituals. At the time, I found it fascinating but, if I’m honest, skincare and graceful ageing weren’t exactly high on my list of concerns.
Now, in my 40s, postpartum and with a one-year-old who has other ideas about my eight hours of beauty sleep, I’ve found myself returning to those teachings with a very different level of interest!
What I love about the Ayurvedic approach to beauty is that skincare doesn’t begin and end with what we put on our face. It looks at the bigger picture — our individual skin type, digestion, food, sleep, daily habits and how well we’re nourishing ourselves from within.
I’ve created this one-day workshop to bring those teachings together in a way that is simple, practical and easy to use in everyday life.
You’ll learn to understand your skin, what actually suits it and how to care for it — from what you put on your face to how you nourish your skin from within.
What you will learn
We’ll start with the foundations of Ayurveda and how to recognise your individual skin type (Dosha). You’ll learn why different skin types have different needs, how our skin changes as we age and how to choose ingredients and practices that work for your skin rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine.
We’ll explore Ayurveda’s approach to beauty and graceful ageing, including:
Then we’ll head into the kitchen and put it into practice.
You’ll make and try simple Ayurvedic skincare, learn how to select treatments for your individual skin type and discover how to give yourself a complete Ayurvedic facial at home.
Please come with a clean, make-up-free face, as we’ll be trying some of the practices together.
By the end of the day, you’ll have a simple, realistic approach to caring for your skin that you can continue at home — without needing an overflowing bathroom cabinet or an increasingly complicated routine
Your Take-Home Ayurvedic Beauty Guide
You won’t need to remember everything we cover on the day.
You’ll leave with your own Ayurvedic Beauty Guide containing:
So you’ll have everything you need to start putting what you’ve learnt into practice straight away.
Lunch around the table
We’ll stop for a relaxed lunch together, with the food and drinks selected specifically for their skin-supporting properties and the Ayurvedic principles we’ll be exploring during the day.
Tea and light snacks will also be available when you arrive.
