lacto calamine lotion benefits - #19232
For years, I have struggled with oily skin and occasional breakouts, and I have tried so many skincare products without much success. Recently, someone recommended Lacto Calamine lotion, saying it helps control excess oil and soothes the skin. I started using it a few weeks ago, and I feel like it is helping a bit, but I want to understand more about Lacto Calamine lotion benefits and how it works from an Ayurvedic perspective. One of my main concerns is acne. I often get small pimples on my forehead and chin, especially during humid weather. Does Lacto Calamine lotion help in preventing acne, or is it just for oil control? I’ve heard that calamine has antibacterial properties—does this mean it can also help with skin infections and redness? I also have some dark spots from old acne scars, and I am wondering if Lacto Calamine lotion benefits include reducing pigmentation. Does Ayurveda suggest any other natural remedies that work well with calamine to fade dark spots and even out skin tone? Another issue I face is occasional itching and mild irritation on my face, especially after sun exposure. Since Lacto Calamine lotion contains zinc oxide, does it offer any protection against sun damage? Can it be used as a mild sunscreen, or should I still apply a separate sunscreen along with it? Apart from acne and sun protection, I’ve also read that Lacto Calamine lotion benefits include soothing rashes and insect bites. Is this true? If so, how does it work, and are there any Ayurvedic ingredients that enhance its calming effects? I also wonder if Lacto Calamine lotion is suitable for long-term use. Are there any side effects of using it daily? Since Ayurveda focuses on skin health from the inside out, are there specific dietary or herbal recommendations that can complement Lacto Calamine lotion benefits and improve skin quality naturally? I want to build a skincare routine that balances oil production, prevents breakouts, and keeps my skin healthy in the long run. How does Ayurveda view Lacto Calamine lotion, and what additional Ayurvedic remedies would you recommend for someone with oily, acne-prone skin?
