Resources<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most skincare ads promise glow, glass skin, or zero pores in seven days. Ayurveda asks a different question. It does not chase a look. It asks whether your skin is doing its job well. That is a much older way to think about skin, and it still holds up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda is a natural healing system from India, going back thousands of years. It treats skin as a mirror of what is happening inside the body \u2014 digestion, sleep, stress, even the season outside. So when Ayurveda talks about healthy skin, it is not talking about a shade or a filter. It is talking about balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide breaks down the <em>ayurveda definition of healthy skin<\/em>, walks through the three <em>ayurvedic skin types<\/em>, and shows exactly how <em>doshas and skincare<\/em> connect. By the end, you will know your skin&#8217;s pattern, and what genuinely brings it back to <em>ayurveda skin balance<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Healthy_Skin_Really_Means_in_Ayurveda\"><\/span>What Healthy Skin Really Means in Ayurveda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ayurveda, skin is called <em>Twacha<\/em>. It is treated as an extension of digestion, not a separate surface to fix. Ancient physicians believed skin problems rarely start on the surface. They start with how well food is digested, how well toxins (called <em>Ama<\/em>) are cleared, and how balanced a person&#8217;s inner energies are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So healthy skin, in Ayurvedic terms, has a few clear markers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It looks and feels consistent, not swinging between oily and dry in the same week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It heals quickly from small cuts, breakouts, or sun exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It holds natural moisture without needing constant correction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It reflects good digestion \u2014 a dull, congested face is usually read as a gut issue first, a product issue second.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is different from the usual beauty-industry idea of healthy skin, which is often about appearance alone. Ayurveda treats appearance as a result of internal balance, not the goal itself. Get the balance right, and the glow tends to follow on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This idea has travelled well beyond India. Ayurveda now draws serious interest from people abroad, including NRIs balancing two climates and foreign readers looking for an alternative to product-heavy routines. The appeal is simple: instead of buying more products to fix a symptom, you learn to read what your skin is already telling you, wherever in the world you happen to be living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fjsf-500x289.png\" alt=\"How Ayurveda Defines Healthy Skin by advik ayurveda\" class=\"wp-image-10707\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.730106216263277;width:650px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fjsf-500x289.png 500w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fjsf-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fjsf-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fjsf.png 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Three_Doshas_and_Your_Skin\"><\/span>The Three Doshas and Your Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda organises the body around three biological energies, or <em>doshas<\/em> \u2014 Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Everyone carries all three, but usually one or two dominate. Your skin behaves according to whichever dosha is strongest in you. That is exactly why the same face wash can work wonders for one person and do nothing for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vata_Skin\"><\/span>Vata Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vata is built from air and space. Vata-dominant skin tends to be thin, dry, and cool to the touch. It is prone to fine lines, flaking, and rough patches, especially once winter sets in. Vata skin usually ages by drying out before it wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pitta_Skin\"><\/span>Pitta Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pitta skin runs warm, is fair to medium in tone, and reacts fast to heat. It flushes easily, breaks out in red inflamed spots, and does not tolerate strong actives or long sun exposure well. Pitta skin usually ages through sensitivity and pigmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kapha_Skin\"><\/span>Kapha Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kapha is earth and water. It is naturally resilient and slower to wrinkle, but prone to clogged pores, blackheads, and a heavy, dull look when it drifts out of balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not sure which category fits you?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-color has-contrast-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/advikayurveda.com\/tea-tree-face-wash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Ayurveda Skincare Range<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/advik-ayurveda-neem-tea-tree-face-wash-for-acne-500x500-1.webp\" alt=\"Advik Ayurveda Tea Tree Face Wash\" class=\"wp-image-8759\" style=\"width:252px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/advik-ayurveda-neem-tea-tree-face-wash-for-acne-500x500-1.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/advik-ayurveda-neem-tea-tree-face-wash-for-acne-500x500-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/advik-ayurveda-neem-tea-tree-face-wash-for-acne-500x500-1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_Your_Ayurvedic_Skin_Type_Prakriti_vs_Vikriti\"><\/span>Finding Your Ayurvedic Skin Type: Prakriti vs Vikriti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda separates two ideas people often mix up. <strong>Prakriti<\/strong> is your original constitution, the dosha balance you were born with. It does not change over your life. <strong>Vikriti<\/strong> is your current state, the imbalance you are dealing with right now because of weather, stress, diet, travel, or age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is why this matters. A Pitta-dominant person under heavy work stress can develop Vata-like dryness. A Kapha-dominant person eating rich, oily food in a humid city can develop breakouts that look more Pitta-driven. Your skin problem today does not always match the type you were born with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That gap is the biggest difference between generic skincare and <em>ayurvedic skin types<\/em> thinking. A fixed five-step routine assumes one universal skin story. Ayurveda assumes your skin&#8217;s story shifts with your life, and treats the current imbalance rather than a permanent label. If you already follow an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/skin-care-routine-for-acne-prone-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acne-prone skin care routine<\/a>, it is worth checking whether it still matches your current dosha state, not just your skin type from a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_Your_Skin_Doshas_Are_Out_of_Balance\"><\/span>Signs Your Skin Doshas Are Out of Balance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every dosha shows imbalance in its own way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vata imbalance: <\/strong>sudden dryness, dullness, fine lines appearing early, skin that feels thirsty no matter how much you moisturise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pitta imbalance: <\/strong>redness, breakouts with heat and inflammation, sun sensitivity, dark spots left behind after acne heals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kapha imbalance: <\/strong>excess oil, enlarged pores, slow-healing congestion, puffiness around the eyes in the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people actually carry a mixed pattern, such as Vata-Pitta or Pitta-Kapha, so their skin shows overlapping signs, like an oily T-zone next to dry cheeks. That is normal. It does not mean something is wrong with your skin. It means your routine needs to address two energies at once, instead of following a single label like oily skin or dry skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Ayurveda_Restores_Skin_Balance\"><\/span>How Ayurveda Restores Skin Balance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you know the imbalance, Ayurveda offers a layered approach, not a single miracle product, but a rhythm you repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diet_and_Digestion_Agni\"><\/span>Diet and Digestion (Agni)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda insists skin health starts at the gut. A weak digestive fire, or <em>Agni<\/em>, leaves undigested toxins in the body, and these often surface as dullness or breakouts. Warm, freshly cooked meals, fewer cold or processed foods, and eating at consistent times are treated as seriously as any cream on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also why two people can eat the same diet and see different skin results. A Pitta-heavy person eating spicy, fried food regularly is more likely to see breakouts and redness. A Kapha-heavy person eating the same food is more likely to see congestion and puffiness instead. Ayurveda does not offer one universal diet for skin \u2014 it offers a framework for reading your own reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daily_Rituals_Dinacharya\"><\/span>Daily Rituals (Dinacharya)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small daily habits matter more than occasional treatments. Oil massage, known as <em>Abhyanga<\/em>, a steady sleep schedule, and gentle cleansing with lukewarm rather than hot water are classic Ayurvedic habits. Dry, Vata-leaning skin benefits from richer oils, while oily, Kapha-leaning skin does better with lighter textures and clay-based masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/istockphoto-1038816574-612x612-1-500x333.webp\" alt=\"Discover the Ayurveda definition of healthy skin by advikayurveda\" class=\"wp-image-9501\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5015292801193585;width:611px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/istockphoto-1038816574-612x612-1-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/istockphoto-1038816574-612x612-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/istockphoto-1038816574-612x612-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/istockphoto-1038816574-612x612-1.webp 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Herbs_and_Natural_Ingredients\"><\/span>Herbs and Natural Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda leans on specific herbs for specific doshas.

Stress is read as a Vata aggravator that dries and dulls skin. Anger and heat-heavy food are read as Pitta aggravators that trigger flare-ups. Overeating and inactivity are read as Kapha aggravators that clog pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why Ayurvedic skin advice often includes things that sound unrelated to skincare, like sleep timing, breathing practice, or adjusting your routine with the season. A dosha-balanced life is treated as the real long-term skincare plan. Products support that plan; they do not replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For frequent travellers and NRIs managing skin across very different climates, humid one month and dry the next, this whole-body, seasonal view is especially useful. It explains why the same skin behaves differently depending on where you live, not only which product sits on your shelf. If you want this assessed properly rather than guessed, <a href=\"https:\/\/morningsun.in\/personalised-wellness-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MorningSun&#8217;s personalised online dosha consultation for NRIs<\/a> connects you with Ayurveda practitioners who build a plan around your body type, climate, and lifestyle abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prefer expert guidance over guesswork?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-color has-contrast-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/morningsun.in\/personalised-wellness-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a Dosha Consultation with MorningSun<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Glycolic-acid-toner-Advik-Ayurveda-1-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Advik Ayurveda Glycolic Acid Toner\" class=\"wp-image-4798\" style=\"width:284px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Glycolic-acid-toner-Advik-Ayurveda-1-jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Glycolic-acid-toner-Advik-Ayurveda-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Glycolic-acid-toner-Advik-Ayurveda-1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/advikayurveda.com\/glycolic-acid-toner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop Now Glycolic Acid Toner<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing_Ayurvedas_Skin_Wisdom_Into_Your_Routine\"><\/span>Bringing Ayurveda&#8217;s Skin Wisdom Into Your Routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need a full Ayurvedic overhaul to benefit from this thinking. Start small:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify whether your current skin issue looks more Vata (dry), Pitta (inflamed), or Kapha (oily and congested).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Match your routine to it \u2014 richer oils for Vata, cooling ingredients for Pitta, light clay-based cleansing for Kapha.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support skin from inside with warm meals, enough water, and consistent sleep timing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep ingredients simple and recognisable, and avoid stacking harsh actives that override your skin&#8217;s own balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This same logic shows up across India&#8217;s wider wellness culture, not just in skincare. Traditional ingredients like ghee, discussed in this piece on <a href=\"https:\/\/deshsansaar.in\/importance-of-cow-in-indian-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ghee and Ayurveda in Indian culture<\/a>, have long been used to nourish skin from within. And if ageing skin is your current concern rather than acne or oiliness, this roundup of <a href=\"https:\/\/deshsansaar.in\/anti-aging-serums-for-mature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ayurvedic approaches to mature, ageing skin<\/a> is worth a look alongside your dosha type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda&#8217;s definition of healthy skin is not about chasing one look. It is about reading skin as a signal of digestion, stress, season, and dosha balance, and responding to the cause instead of only the surface. Once you know whether your skin leans Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, every choice, from your face wash to your dinner time, gets a lot easier to make well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-primary-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ready to build a routine around your real skin type?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-base-color has-contrast-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/advikayurveda.com\/skin-care-products-for-acne-or-pimples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Ayurveda Skincare Range<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-500x471.webp\" alt=\"advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree\" class=\"wp-image-5111\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0615933412604044;width:256px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-500x471.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-300x282.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-150x141.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-768x723.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-1536x1446.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.advikayurveda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/advik-ayurveda-charcoal-face-wash-with-tea-tree-jpg.webp 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1785321347757\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1. <strong>What is the Ayurveda definition of healthy skin?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Skin reflecting internal dosha balance, not just outer appearance or shade.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1785321363505\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. <strong>What are the three ayurvedic skin types?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Vata (dry), Pitta (sensitive and warm), and Kapha (oily and thick) skin types.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1785321363440\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3. <strong>Can my skin type change over time?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
