- <p><span>Beauty in <em>Ayurveda</em> is not merely an external attribute but a reflection of the harmonious integration of body, mind, and soul. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe several lifestyle measures aimed at preserving health and enhancing natural beauty. Among these, <em>Dinacharya</em> (daily regimen) plays a fundamental role in maintaining physiological balance and promoting overall well-being. Daily practices such as <em>Dantadhavana</em> (tooth brushing), <em>Jihva-nirlekhana</em> (tongue scraping), <em>Gandusha</em> and <em>Kavala</em> (oral rinsing procedures), <em>Anjana</em> (collyrium application), <em>Nasya</em> (nasal therapy), <em>Abhyanga</em> and <em>Shirobhyanga</em> (oil massage), <em>Udvartana</em> (herbal powder massage), and <em>Sugandhi dravya dharana</em> are described in Ayurvedic lexicons as preventive and cosmetic practices that contribute to personal hygiene, disease prevention, and enhancement of physical appearance. Ayurveda further emphasizes <em>Rasayana</em> therapy, a rejuvenative approach aimed at improving the quality of <em>Rasa Dhatu</em>, which is closely associated with skin health, complexion (<em>Varna</em>), and radiance (<em>Prabha</em>). With the increasing global demand for herbal and natural cosmetic products, <em>Ayurvedic</em> cosmetology has gained renewed attention. The <em>Ayurvedic</em> natural cosmetics sector in India is expanding rapidly due to growing consumer preference for plant-based, safe, and traditionally validated products. Numerous medicinal plants described in classical texts possess both cosmetic and therapeutic properties, and modern scientific studies increasingly support their traditional applications. This review explores the continuum from <em>Dinacharya</em> practices to dermo-cosmetic applications, highlighting the relevance of <em>Ayurvedic</em> daily regimens and <em>Rasayana</em> therapies in maintaining skin health and enhancing natural beauty. The study aims to bridge traditional <em>Ayurvedic</em> knowledge with contemporary dermo-cosmetic research and applications.</span></p>
