❌Avoid
Spicy oily food, fried snacks, tea on empty stomach
Cold drinks, curd at night, too much sugar
Late night sleep and skipping meals

✅Simple Skin Glow Routine (5 mins/day)
Summarized for you

hello sushi,
Thanks for sharing! Living in a hostel can definitely make skin care tricky between mess food, irregular routine, sun exposure, and sometimes stress, your skin can get dull and tanned easily. But don’t worry we can work on this both internally and externally, even with a simple hostel routine.In Ayurveda, dullness and tanning are often linked to Pitta imbalance + Rasa Dhatu Kshaya which means too much heat in the system and not enough deep nourishment in your tissues. To get brighter, glowing skin, you need to cool the blood, improve digestion, and nourish your skin from within, while externally clearing up the dead skin and tan.
Internal Medicines (even hostel-friendly)
Manjishta capsule – 1 cap twice daily after meals
Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner
Avipattikar churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (keeps skin + gut clear)
Kumari Asava – 10 ml with water in the morning (optional but good for skin glow)
External Application
Kumkumadi Taila or Kumkumadi Lepam – apply a thin layer at night and wash in morning
For tanning –
Mix wild turmeric (kasturi manjal) + milk + rose water into a paste, apply 15 mins before bath, 4x/week.
OR use Eladi choornam + curd on face/body for tan removal (if not allergic to curd).
Hostel Skincare Tips (practical & effective):
Use plain rose water spray 2–3 times a day to cool and refresh skin
Drink coriander seed water or fennel tea once a day to detox from within
Avoid excess spicy food, pickle, fried items from the mess — they trigger heat and dull skin
Don’t skip breakfast — eat soaked almonds (4–5) and dry dates in the morning if possible
Sleep by 11 PM your skin regenerates at night
With this, your skin will start feeling lighter, less tanned, and more glowing in 2–3 weeks. Stay consistent and gentle with your body.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
dr.Karthika.

For skin glow and brightening from an Ayurvedic perspective, it's important to consider both internal and external care while taking into account the balance of your doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Rather than jumping straight to creams or medicines, let's look at holistic approaches first.
1. **Diet and Hydration**: Drinking plenty of water daily is essential for maintaining hydrated and glowing skin. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water. Incorporate foods that are rich in antioxidants, like green leafy vegetables and fruits such as oranges and pomegranates, into your diet. Eating almonds and walnuts can provide essential fatty acids that are beneficial for skin health. Avoid excessive intake of fried or spicy foods which can imbalance the Pitta dosha and cause skin issues.
2. **Herbal Applications**: Consider applying aloe vera gel on your face, which naturally soothes and brightens the skin. Another option is a paste made from turmeric and besan mixed with rose water, applied for about 10-15 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water. This can help reduce tanning and bring out a natural glow.
3. **Ayurvedic Medicines**: Look for creams or oils containing natural ingredients like sandalwood, saffron, or manjistha. These are known in Ayurveda for their skin-enhancing properties. Make sure to check the ingredients and your skin type compatibility before trying any new products.
4. **Lifestyle Practices**: Ensure adequate sleep as it plays a crucial role in skin health. Engaging in daily meditation or yoga can also promote overall well-being, facilitating improved skin condition through stress reduction which often affects the skin.
5. **Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure**: Protect your skin from tanning by applying a natural sunscreen containing ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter before going out in the sun.
By integrating these practices, it not only targets the symptoms like tanning but also cultivates the internal balance necessary for healthy, glowing skin. If you are still considering commercial creams, opt for those free of harsh chemicals. If tanning or other skin issues are severe, seeking direct consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner might be needed for personalized treatment options.
