How to clear skin from clogged hair on face and acne - #21541

Clogged pores and acne can sure be a hassle, huh? Don't worry, you can try some ayurvedic ways to help deal with this. First, let's figure out what might be root cause, usually it's related to Pitta imbalance which affects the skin and leads to these complaints. When Pitta's out of balance, it may lead to excessive heat that shows up as acne and increased oil that clogs those pores. You could start with some simple daily routines. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day, no more than that – over doing it can irritate your skin more. Use a sandalwood based powder mixed with rose water as a face pack – twice a week may do wonders for the scars and calming the skin. Sandalwood is great cooling agent and helps with scars too. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and rinse it off gently. Also, pay atention to your diet. Limit spicy, fried, or oily foods as they can aggravate Pitta even more and your skin doesn't need that kind of drama. Instead, load up on fresh fruits and veggies – cucumber, watermelon, and pomegranate are particularly good. And let's not forget Triphala! It's amazing for detoxifying and can help balance Pitta from inside out, take a teaspoon with warm water before bed. It works like a gentle cleanse, so not a quick fix but worth a try for longer term balance. Don’t touch or pick at your skin – I know it’s tempting but really not helping. When you go outside, put on some sunscreen too. A natural honey face mask once a week can also help keep things moisturized without clogging those pores. If things feel too inflamed, turmeric paste can help reduce that redness – just mix with a little water and pat on affected spots, leave for a few minutes only. Remember, Ayurveda takes time, it's about finding balance not overnight solutions. If it still doesn't seem to get better, you might want to chat with a dermatologist to see what's up. Your skin's a journey, be kind to it!
