Ayurvedic remedies and lifestyle suggestions:
According to Ayurveda, skin issues often stem from an imbalance in Pitta (heat/fire) or Kapha (oil/water):
Pitta imbalance: Causes inflammation, redness, acne, sensitivity.
Kapha imbalance: Leads to oily, congested skin, dullness, and cystic acne.
Diet Tips
Favor cooling foods (for Pitta): coconut water, cucumber, mint, leafy greens.
Avoid spicy, oily, fermented foods – they aggravate Pitta.
Cut down on dairy and sugar – these increase Kapha and cause breakouts.
Drink warm water with turmeric
Reduces inflammation and brightens skin.
MahaManjisthadi kadha 15ml twice with water after meal Blood purifier, great for chronic acne and skin dullness.
Neem vati 1 twice after meal
Triphala churn half tbs with luke warm water before bedtime Supports digestion and detox, essential for clear skinn
Skincare (External)
Neem or sandalwood face packs – reduce acne
Multani mitti – for oily skin and brightening.

Addressing issues with acne, blackheads, dark circles, and dull skin from an Ayurvedic perspective involves considering your dosha balance and overall lifestyle. Drinking 3-4 litres of water is commendable, but skin health involves more than just hydration.
First, let's look at acne and blackheads. These are often related to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which can be aggravated by excessive heat and oily, spicy foods. To soothe Pitta, aim to incorporate cooling foods into your diet such as cucumbers, leafy greens, and coconut water. Avoid excessive oily, fried food and try to minimize stress wherever possible, as stress can exacerbate Pitta imbalances.
For dull skin, look into your daily while cleansing rituals. Consider using a gentle Ubtan (a natural face scrub) made of chickpea flour, turmeric, and milk to exfoliate your skin twice a week. This can enhance your skin’s glow. Following this, applying a mix of sandalwood paste and rose water can be particularly soothing and moisturizing.
Dark circles often indicate a lifestyle facet such as sleep or diet. Ensure you're getting about 7-8 hours of sleep regularly. Also, gently massaging the under-eye area with almond oil at night can encourage circulation and lighten dark circles.
Furthermore, internal nourishment is crucial. Triphala churna is an Ayurvedic formulation that supports digestion, which is key to clear skin. You can take half a teaspoon in warm water before bed to bolster digestive health and, by extension, skin quality.
Finally, take account of your daily schedules. Do you have a balance between work and relaxation? Pitta aggravation from stress is common. Integrating yoga and meditation can help calm the mind and, by extension, benefit the skin. Practices like Shitali pranayama (cooling breath) can be particularly beneficial in reducing Pitta.
Remember, Ayurveda emphasizes gradual change. Observe how your body reacts and it's okay to tweak these recommendations as needed. If condition persists, seeking personal consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner in your area can provide more tailored advice.
