Alright, dealing with dark spots, pores, and dark circles for five years can be really draining. Let’s dive into something a little less conventional and more tailored for you, borrowed from Ayurvedic wisdom.
First thing first, it’s important to understand your skin type—seems like you have an oily skin. In Ayurveda, that’s usually linked to Pitta and Kapha doshas. When these are out of balance, they can show up as skin issues.
For the dark spots, consider Kumkumadi Tailam, it’s a classical Ayurvedic remedy great for enhancing skin texture. You can apply a few drops on your face at night. Just be careful not to use too much, since your skin’s already oily. Maybe start with 2-3 drops and gently massage it in.
For those stubborn pores, consider a weekly scrub using besan (gram flour) with a pinch of turmeric and a little milk or rose water to make a paste. Gently exfoliate your skin, but don’t overdo it! Once or twice a week is enough.
Dark circles are often linked to lifestyle. Sleep’s a big factor, really. Aim for 7-8 hours of sound sleep. Trifala churna can also help in detoxifying your body. You can take a teaspoon every night with warm water.
Don’t skip on hydration, even if it feels like you’re adding to the oiliness. Drink plenty of water and consider adding a cup of herbal tea during the day, maybe something with ginger which helps in boosting the agni (digestive fire).
Diet’s crucial. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy meals that could aggravate Pitta and Kapha. Things like fresh fruits and veggies, light meals, and whole grains can balance your doshas.
If these don’t cut it, consult a practitioner who focuses on holistic approaches, cause sometimes, what’s happening internally can manifest on the skin surface without us realizing it.
Give it a whirl, see how your skin responds over a few weeks. Everyone’s skin’s different, so it’s about finding what works for you. Hope that helps, and take care!
