Hello... For facial hair removal kindly use products made of turmeric. And for the acne Avoid same soap for the body and face For face you can use face wash for a while Make sure your bowels are free. Wash your face only with cool water Raktachandana churna(adv for external application) Or Nalpamaradi taila( for application on face and neck) Hair wash regularly.

Dry skin and acne can definitely be frustrating, so let's see what we might do to improve things using Ayurveda. From an Ayurvedic perspective, dryness is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, while acne can be related to aggravated Pitta and sometimes Kapha dosha. It’s important to consider both to address the root cause effectively. Start by hydrating from within and outside. Drink warm water throughout the day, as hydration is crucial. Consider including warm herbal teas like ginger tea, which can balance Vata. You should also apply organic coconut or sesame oil on your face daily, about 10-15 minutes before taking a warm shower. A light massage can improve circulation and also help the oil penetrate more deeply. A nourishing face pack can help too, a simple one could include a mix of sandalwood powder, a bit of turmeric, and milk or rosewater. Apply it twice a week for soothing and nourishing effects. Avoid hot water when washing your face, as it strips natural oils, accentuating dryness. Use lukewarm water instead. Ah, shaving facial hairs! It's generally okay, but make sure you're using a clean and sharp razor to lessen irritation. Use a gentle natural shaving gel that doesn't have harsh chemicals. Also, applying aloe vera gel post-shaving can help soothe any irritation. Avoid spicy, deep-fried foods and excessive caffeinated drinks, they can aggravate Pitta causing more acne. Opt for a diet rich in leafy greens, whole grains, fresh fruits, particularly cooling ones like cucumber. Finally, ensure you're getting enough rest, as stress and lack of sleep can further imbalance Vata and Pitta. Regular yoga or meditation could provide balance in body and mind, enhancing your skin's health. If the dryness persists or worsens, it might be a good idea to seek further consultation.
