Hello Trupti,
How is your digestion and bowels in general? Were you on any allopathic medication for a longer duration or use harsh cosmetics for your face? Your acne, scars, and pigmentation are likely due to Pitta and Kapha imbalance, causing excess oil production and inflammation. To control acne, take Mahamanjishthadi tablets (1 twice daily), Arogyavardhini Vati (1 tablet twice daily), and Patolakaturohinyadi Kashayam (10-15 ml twice daily before meals). For scars and pigmentation, apply Kumkumadi Tailam at night, use Aloe Vera Gel & Sandalwood Paste as a face mask, and take Manjistha Powder (1 tsp with warm water daily) to purify the blood.
Avoid spicy, fried, and dairy-heavy foods, drink warm lemon water in the morning, and cleanse your face with rose water or multani mitti to control oil. Yoga and pranayama can help manage stress, which worsens acne.

Alright, so dealing with acne, scars, and pigmentation can be a bit of journey, but with Ayurveda, there are ways to address the root causes. First off, acne and the resulting scars and pigmentation often point to an imbalance in Pitta dosha. Pitta, being slightly fiery, can lead to issues like inflammation and excess oil production.
Try incorporating cooling foods to calm this excess Pitta. Things like cucumbers, coriander, and fennel could be beneficial. Avoid spicy and fried foods as they tend to increase heat. Plus, stay hydrated, drink lukewarm water or herbal teas like chamomile or mint through the day, which can help flush out impurities.
For reducing acne scars and dark spots, consider a simple turmeric mask. Mix a pinch of turmeric with raw honey and a bit of sandalwood powder. Apply this to the marks, maybe even spot-treating if you’re worried about irritation. Leave it on for 15 minutes before gently washing it off. Do it 2-3 times a week.
It’s also important to support your Agni (digestive fire). Weak digestion can lead to toxin buildup, affecting skin health. A teaspoon of freshly grated ginger with a bit of salt and lemon before meals might help boost your digestion.
You might also want to consider Triphala powder. Taken in the evening with warm water, it can aid in detox, contribute to clearer skin over time due to its purifying and rejuvenating properties.
And, daily routines – try to incorporate a stress-relieving practice like yoga or pranayama, even if it’s as simple as deep breathing. Stress aggravates acne, cause it messes with the hormones.
Lastly, ensure you're using gentle skincare. No harsh scrubs or overly drying products. A mild cleanser and a natural, light moisturizer (aloe vera is nice!) may help keep balance.
But do remember, if any skin condition worsens or if you're dealing with severe acne, it might be best to connect with a dermatologist who gets how Ayurveda works, as sometimes medical treatments and Ayurveda can complement each other well!
