Lacto Calamine - #18620
For the past few months, I have been struggling with oily skin, acne breakouts, and uneven skin tone. My face often looks shiny by midday, and I frequently experience clogged pores and small pimples, especially on my forehead and chin. A friend recommended Lacto Calamine, saying that it helps control oil production and soothes acne-prone skin, but I want to understand if it’s safe for long-term use and whether Ayurveda has better natural alternatives. I read that Lacto Calamine contains calamine, kaolin clay, and glycerin, which help in absorbing excess oil, reducing irritation, and keeping the skin balanced. However, I also came across information that some skin types may react to it differently, and I am worried about whether it dries out the skin too much or disrupts the skin barrier. I have a Pitta-Kapha skin type, meaning my skin gets oily but also sensitive to heat and inflammation—could my imbalance be the reason behind my breakouts and excessive oil production? Does Ayurveda recommend natural alternatives to Lacto Calamine for acne control and skin health? I have read that Sandalwood, Neem, and Aloe Vera are beneficial for soothing inflamed skin, controlling oil, and preventing breakouts—would these help in naturally managing my oily skin and acne issues? Are there any Ayurvedic herbal face packs, skincare routines, or dietary modifications that can help in preventing acne and maintaining balanced skin? Since I prefer natural skincare solutions, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can regulate oil production, reduce acne, and improve skin clarity naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on Lacto Calamine, its effects, and Ayurvedic approaches to oily skin management.
