Ban Labs Charm & Glow (Amla Aritha) - #30653
I am really struggling with my skin lately, and I was hoping you all could help me out. Recently, I tried this new product called Ban Labs Charm & Glow (Amla Aritha) after hearing about its supposed benefits. I’ve always heard Amla is awesome for skin health and Aritha really helps with cleansing. Anyway, after a few uses, my skin started breaking out like crazy, and I don’t know if it’s just my skin reacting to the ingredients or if I’m using it wrong? I thought maybe my skin was just getting used to it at first, but now I’m freaking out. I mean, I really wanna love this Ban Labs Charm & Glow because I've read amazing stories from people who swear by it. Like, I can see how the ingredients sound great, ya know? Amla is packed with vitamin C, so it should be working wonders for my complexion. But then again, could Aritha be too harsh for my sensitive skin?? Ugh, I don’t know! Has anyone else had similar issues with Ban Labs Charm & Glow (Amla Aritha)? Did your skin eventually adjust, or should I just cut my losses and find something else? Just looking for some advice before I do anything drastic!

Doctors’ responses
Given your situation, let’s delve into the dynamics of Ban Labs Charm & Glow (Amla Aritha) to help decipher what might be happening with your skin. Amla, indeed, is revered in Ayurveda for its antioxidant-rich profile and high vitamin C content, offering significant benefits such as promoting collagen production that can rejuvenate the skin. However, the introduction of new products can, sometimes, trigger different reactions depending on one’s prakriti (constitution) and current dosha imbalance.
Your breakout may be a result of Aritha (soapnut), known for its excellent cleansing properties. While Aritha effectively removes dirt and oils, for those with sensitive skin or a pronounced Vata or Pitta dosha, it might indeed be too vigorous and cause irritation leading to breakouts. In Ayurveda, skin issues like breakouts may also indicate aggravated Pitta dosha.
Consider pausing the use of this product temporarily to observe if your symptoms improve. Meanwhile, focus on cooling your body internally, avoiding excessive heat, spicy and fried foods that may be further increasing Pitta. Opt for gentle, natural cleansers like rose water or aloe vera gel that offer soothing effects and are less likely to aggravate sensitive skin.
Introduce calming herbs such as Neem or Turmeric. Drinking Neem tea or applying a turmeric paste mixed with sandalwood on the breakout areas might help to cool and soothe your skin. Make these transitions slowly, incorporating changes one at a time to avoid overwhelming your skin further.
Align with a routine that guards your skin while it recovers, maintain skin hydration using lightly nourishing and non-comodogenic oils like jojoba or almond (as per your skin’s reactivity). Emphasizing on a diet rich in fresh fruits particularly those like pomegranate, grapes which help balance Pitta, might yield overall calming impacts. If tangible improvements do not occur, you may want to consult with a dermatologist to delve deeper into alternative options.
Ultimately, the journey to finding the right product combination for your skin may require some patience and a bit of trial and error. Be attentive to how your skin reacts to minor changes as this will often guide you to an apt regimen.
