how to use kasthuri manjal on face - #25937

Genesis

I am really trying to figure out how to use kasthuri manjal on face since I heard so many good things about it. A friend of mine was raving about how much her skin improved, and honestly, I need all the help I can get. For the past few months, my skin has been super dull and I've had these annoying breakouts. I went to a dermatologist, who suggested some creams that kinda helped but nothing miraculous, you know? I stumbled upon kasthuri manjal when looking for natural remedies, and it sounds promising, but then I'm lost. Is it a powder? Do I mix it with water or something else? How to use kasthuri manjal on face properly? I read people say it can brighten the skin, but how often should I use it? And what about sensitive skin? I feel like I have so many questions but don’t want to mess up my skin further. Any insights would really mean a lot!! Do I need to prepare it specially or just slap it on? 🤔

Kasthuri manjal, also known as wild turmeric, can indeed be a wonderful addition to your skincare routine, especially if you're looking for natural ways to brighten your complexion and address breakouts. It has been revered in ayurvedic texts for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, which can be particularly beneficial for the skin. For starters, you want to get the kasthuri manjal in powder form. Unlike regular turmeric, kasthuri manjal does not stain the skin, making it safe to use on your face. To start using it, try making a simple face pack. Mix a small amount, around half a teaspoon, with a few drops of honey and enough milk or rose water to form a smooth paste. Honey is a natural humectant, helping to retain moisture, while milk or rose water can be soothing, making this blend suitable for sensitive skin. Apply this mask evenly on your face, avoiding the eye area. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before gently washing it off with lukewarm water. You might want to do a patch test before applying the mask all over, especially considering your concerns with sensitive skin. When dealing with sensitive skin, monitor how your skin reacts and adjust frequency accordingly; starting with twice a week should be enough. For optimal results, consistency is key—you don't need to use it daily as frequent use could potentially dry out your skin. At the same time, balance is important: hydrate your skin properly post-treatment, you might want to follow up with a gentle moisturizer. When it comes to sensitive skin, if you notice irritation, it's a good idea to discontinue use and consult with a practitioner. A personalized assesment may address any pita dosha imbalances that could be contributing to breakouts and dull skin. In some cases, internal detoxification might also be recommended, alongside dietary adjustments to pacify excess heat in the body. Remember, while Ayurveda can be beneficial, it's mostly complementary, so don’t forego the advice from your dermatologist. Combining conventional treatments with ayurvedic remedies might be the best approach to achieving radiant, clear skin without causing harm.
