Hello Ubaid,
Thank you for sharing your concern. I can understand your concern regarding Forehead tanning and pigmentation due to sun exposure especially if it's been present for 7–8 years, can feel very frustrating, especially after trying all the treatments .but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
**AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE**
Your symptoms point to Vyanga (chronic facial pigmentation) in Ayurveda. It occurs due to
1 Pitta + Vata imbalance in skin
2 Excess sun (agni), heat, harsh exposure
3 Weak skin regeneration & melanin imbalance
4 Past chemical treatments aggravating the skin
**AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT**
(Internal + External + Lifestyle)
✅ 1. Internal Medicines
1 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 (before breakfast and dinner)
2 Sarivasavam 30ml-0-30ml (after breakfast and dinner )
These help clear inner heat, improve skin tone, and reduce dullness from the root.
✅ 2. External Care
Ayurvedic Face Pack (Use 2×/week)
Make a paste of:
👉Multani Mitti (1 tsp)
👉Manjistha powder (½ tsp)
👉Sandalwood powder (½ tsp)
👉Mix with rose water or raw milk
👉Apply on forehead + full face, leave for 15–20 mins, then wash with cold water.
Medicated Oils:
👉Kumkumadi Tailam: Apply at night (very little) on forehead
Massage gently and leave overnight (use 3–4 times/week)
✅ 3. Diet & Lifestyle
✅ Include:
☑️Amla (raw or juice), ghee, turmeric, soaked almonds
☑️Plenty of water, coconut water
☑️Moong dal, lauki, pumpkin
☑️Black grapes, pomegranate
❌ Avoid:
❌Spicy, oily, sour foods
❌Tea, coffee, soft drinks
❌Direct sun exposure without protection
❌Chemical-loaded facewashes or fairness creams
✅4. Sun Protection & Repair
☑️Apply broad spectrum sunscreen before going out
☑️Use natural umbrella shade or cotton cloth on forehead while in sun
☑️Do deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) to reduce inner heat
☑️Practice early sleep (before 10:30 PM) for skin regeneration
Wishing you clear, glowing skin again soon 😊
Warm Regards
Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Tanning on the forehead which persists for years can be a result of deep sun exposure that has affected the skin layers. In Ayurveda, this could be seen as an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat and inflammation. To address this issue, you might consider an integrative approach focusing on both external and internal treatments.
Firstly, external application of coconut oil can be beneficial as it has natural cooling properties. Massage a small amount onto your forehead daily before bed. Additionally, you can prepare a paste of sandalwood powder with a little rose water and apply it, leave for 15-20 minutes before washing. Sandalwood is known for its Pitta-pacifying effects and can help reduce the tanning.
Internally, it's critical to focus on a diet that alleviates Pitta. Try incorporating cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and herbs such as coriander and fennel in your meals. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods which can aggravate Pitta.
Drinking a glass of amla juice (Indian gooseberry) can also help as it is rich in Vitamin C, which aids in skin health. Another remedy could be taking a teaspoon of Triphala powder at night with warm water, it helps in detoxifying and improving the overall health of the skin.
Make sure to hydrate well throughout the day, aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water which helps to flush out toxins and maintains skin's natural glow. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect from further tanning, even on cloudy days as UV rays can still penetrate.
These approaches should be accompanied by maintaining a regular sleep routine, ideally sleeping and rising with the sun helps to balance doshas naturally. In case the condition doesn’t improve or seems to get worsen, consulting an Ayurvedic physician directly for a personalized treatment plan would be advisable.
