Acne and dark spots often arise due to a Pitta-dosha imbalance, often exacerbated by factors such as stress, improper diet, or lack of routine. To address this, consider an integrative approach involving diet, lifestyle changes, and gentle topical applications.
First, focusing on diet is crucial. Avoid spicy, oily, and junk foods, as they aggravate Pitta. Instead, favor a diet that includes cooling and hydrating foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Incorporate turmeric and coriander — these reduce inflammation and purify the blood. Try to drink ample coconut water or buttermilk to naturally cool your system.
Overactivity and stress can worsen the condition, so cultivating a regular routine with relaxation activities is important. Practice Pranayama (breathing exercises), particularly Sheetali or Chandra Bhedana, to balance Pitta. Sleep regulation is key; try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule to revitalize the skin and body.
For external care, applying a homemade paste will help soothe acne and lighten spots. Mix sandalwood powder with rose water and apply it to your face, allowing it to dry before rinsing. Alternatively, use Multani Mitti (Fuller’s earth) with a splash of pure rose water to absorb excess oil and extract impurities from your pores. These can be applied twice a week.
Avoid harsh face washes, which strip the skin of its natural oil leading to further irritation. Use a mild, herbal cleanser like one made from neem, which has antibacterial properties and supports skin health.
Ensure you remain hydrated throughout the day, and gently cleanse your face after perspiration to remove impurities. If even after these measures your acne persists or worsens, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner in person may provide personalized treatment plans that take into account your unique constitution and lifestyle.
