How can Triphala powder be used for face care, and what are its benefits? - #10297

Anonymous

I recently learned that Triphala powder isn’t just for digestion but can also be used for skincare. I’m curious to know how it can benefit the face and the best ways to incorporate it into a skincare routine. One of the claims about Triphala powder is that it’s rich in antioxidants, which can help fight free radicals and prevent skin aging. How effective is it for improving skin texture and reducing fine lines or wrinkles? Another benefit I’ve read about is its ability to treat acne and blemishes. Can Triphala powder be used as a face mask to reduce breakouts, and what ingredients should it be mixed with for the best results? I’m also interested in its role in exfoliation. Does it work well as a natural scrub, and how often should it be used to avoid irritation? Lastly, are there any precautions to consider when applying Triphala powder to the face? Could it cause dryness or sensitivity for certain skin types? If anyone has used it for skincare, I’d love to hear your tips and results.
