Based on your concern—persistent pigmentation for the past 5 years, no significant relief from dermatological treatments, and increasing dullness and dark patches—it’s very likely that long-term sun exposure has played a major role. This type of pigmentation often falls under melasma or photo-induced hyperpigmentation, which can be stubborn and slow to heal.
Daily Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable:
You must apply sunscreen daily, even when you're indoors, as UV rays can penetrate through windows and artificial lights.
Ensure you apply a thick layer—about 1 mm of coverage across the skin for full protection.
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
Recommended options:
La Shield Sunscreen
Sunheal Sunscreen
Along with sunscreen, you can try a natural method to gently detox and brighten the skin:
Mix Arjuna Churna (powdered bark) with a few drops of raw honey
Apply as a thin layer on the face
Leave it on for 5 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse
This helps to boost circulation, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin tone over time.
Tips:
Avoid stepping out during peak sunlight hours (10 AM – 4 PM)
Use wide-brimmed hats or umbrellas for extra protection.
Stay hydrated and include antioxidant-rich foods like amla, pomegranate, and green leafy vegetables.
I hope this information helps you, and for more personalized care, please consult a nearby Ayurvedic practitioner in person.
