Hello Nimisha, loss of facial fat can lead to sunken cheeks and loss of skin elasticity too. Try massaging your face with kumkumadi oil everyday. You can also practice face yoga.

Sunken cheeks can often be a result of a combination of factors, including weight fluctuations, dehydration, and nutritional deficiencies. In Ayurveda, this condition may be attributed to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs structure and moisture in the body. To address this issue, it's essential to focus on a nourishing diet that includes healthy fats, such as avocado, nuts, and ghee, which can help enhance your facial volume. Additionally, incorporating hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and coconut water can help retain moisture in your skin.
Regular facial massage with oils like almond oil or coconut oil can also promote circulation and improve skin elasticity. It's important to ensure you are consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin E, C, and zinc, which are vital for skin health. Staying well-hydrated and practicing stress-reducing techniques, such as yoga and meditation, can also contribute to overall well-being and skin vitality

Sunken cheeks can be quite a bother, right? Especially when you expect all that yummy food to plump up your face a bit, but it doesn’t. In Ayurveda, sunken cheeks can be associated with an imbalance in the vata dosha. Vata, you see, governs the elements of air and space, and when it gets out of balance, it can lead to that deflation in your cheeks.
So, let's talk about how you can tackle this. First things first, focus on your diet. Eating vata-pacifying foods can make a world af difference. Warm, cooked meals with healthy fats like ghee, olive oil, and nuts can give that nourishment you need. Think soups, stews, and foods that are moist and grounding. Avoid dry, raw, or overly cold foods.
Speaking of nuts, almonds are your best pals! Soak a handful overnight, peel them, and then grind it into a smooth paste. Mix this with warm milk and a pinch of turmeric and have it in the morning. This can help build ojas, which strengthens tissues and gives your cheeks that lovely plumpness over time.
Massage is also a fantastic buddy here. Use sesame or almond oil to gently massage your face – about 5-10 minutes daily should do it. It enhances blood circulation and can bring a natural glow and some fullness to your face.
Keep stress in check too! Easy to say, maybe, but stress can worsen vata imbalance. Engage in activities like yoga or meditation to help ground your mind and body.
Finally, hydrate. You’d be surprised how often people overlook this simple tip. Proper hydration supports the nourishment of all dhatus (or tissues) and aids in digestion, which is the agni part of our Ayurvedic puzzle.
But hey, if these measures don’t seem to help or if your sunken cheeks are associated with more severe symptoms, don’t wait to consult with a physician. Your health is too important to gamble with, you know?
