How to cure and prevent hormonal acne or reccuring acne - #21526

Oh, oily and acne-prone skin is definitely pesky, I get it. So, with Ayurveda, it could be about balancing the *Pitta* dosha. That fiery element might be flaring up, especially in summers. Now, let's get into some tips and tricks that's worked for others. First things first, look into your daily routine. Wash your face gently with cool water, not hot - helps keep those oils under control. You could try using a clay mask (like Multani Mitti or Fuller's Earth) once or twice a week. It absorbs extra oil. Just mix with rose water and slap it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse off gently. Keep an eye on the diet - that plays a huge role. Avoid oily and spicy foods; you might not even realize how much they fire up the Pitta. Instead, think cooling dishes: cucumbers, leafy greens, and even melon. Popping a ripe amla (Indian gooseberry) daily is great - it's packed with Vitamin C and helps detox. And hydration! It's a bit of a cliché, but it matters. Water, coconut water, they're your buddies. Herbal teas like mint or coriander help cool down the system from inside. Oh, and here's a simple home remedy - turmeric. Might sound basic, but it's a powerhouse. Mix it with a bit of honey, apply it gently over the acne-prone spots – leave for 10 mins, then rinse. Do a patch test first, though. Yoga and meditation can calm that stress – stress can seriously act up your skin. Even 15 minutes a day can make a diff! Consistency's key, it's not overnight magic but give it time and patience. Let me know how it goes, yeah?
