Sensitive skin can indeed react to new products, and with Sri Sri Tattva Gulab Jal, while it’s generally soothing and hydrating, it’s essential to consider the possibility of individual allergies or a reaction to a combination of products. Gulab Jal, or rose water, is often used in Ayurvedic practices for its cooling and balancing effects, particularly beneficial for excess pitta, which can manifest as redness or irritation.
Given your symptoms of redness and itchiness, I’d advise considering a few things. First, it might be worth simplifying your skincare routine to identify the trigger. Temporarily pausing other new products, like the cleansers or oils, could help pinpoint if Gulab Jal is causing the issue. Always conduct a patch test with a small amount of product on your inner wrist or behind your ear before fully applying it to your face.
If irritation persists, discontinue using the Gulab Jal altogether. Your skin might just be reacting to too many new ingredients at once. Return back to gentler, more familiar products, and introduce any new additions gradually, one at a time, with at least a week between them to note any reactions.
Additionally, you might consider nourishing your skin internally through dosha-balancing foods. If you’re experiencing pitta aggravation, try incorporating cooling foods like cucumbers, coriander, and aloe vera. Ensure you’re staying hydrated and managing stress as it’s also pivotal for skin health. If your symptoms continue or worsen, consult a healthcare professional specializing in integrative or dermatological care to ensure there’s no underlying condition.
