Ayurveda emphasizes on external and internal beauty. It is believed in Ayurveda that one can enhance internal beauty by understanding and following the basic principle of Ayurveda.Panchakarma is effective in beauty care especially in skin care and skin diseases like Psoriasis, Vitiligo, and Eczema etc. It is also efficacious in hair care and diseases like Premature hair greying, Alopecia.

Concept of beauty in Classics: Beauty is not only a source of jay but gives confidence and proud in some extent. Ayurveda cosmetology started from mother wombs, Dinacharya, Ratricharya, Ritucharya with the practice of medicinal herbs and minerals. AcharyaCharaka narrated that beauty of female is enhanced by finding a suitable man, similarly a man can enhanced his appearance by getting with similar mind, psyche and liking with excellent quality partner. Beautiful woman is always praised in our ancient text as virtue, wealth; affluence and creation depend on women.according to Ayurveda Human body functions through various channel systems called Srotansi, containing both microscopic and macroscopic structures such as the respiratory system, lymphatic system, reproductive system and nervous system, among others. These channels function as innumerable psycho-biological processes such as enzyme production, digestive assimilation and elimination, immune power etc. and responsible for wellness and beauty. These act rhythmically and in concert with one another to perform complex decision-making regarding the supply of nutrients, filtration of toxins, excretion of wastes and much more. If these waste materials are insufficiently metabolized, toxins or incompletely processed foods and experiences can become deposited in weak areas of the body. If unaddressed, these can become a disease. These toxins or unprocessed metabolic deposits can cloud the normal psycho-biological cellular intelligence and loss body lustre and beauty. Panchakarma therapy is both preventative for healthy people to maintain and improve excellent cellular function, and curative for those experiencing disease. The Ama (toxic materials inside our body) makes a person ugly and disease and Panchakarma or Shodhana (Purification) is the best therapeutic intervention to eliminate body toxins. It is a highly complex and sophisticated science of purification of the body/mind.
