Pigmentation and skin tan, particularly when darker on the face compared to the body, can be concerning. In Ayurveda, skin issues are often linked to imbalances in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism, and can lead to pigmentation problems.
First, consider a gentle detoxification to balance Pitta and cleanse the liver, an important organ for healthy skin. Triphala churna, an Ayurvedic herbal mix, is known for its detoxifying properties. Taking a teaspoon with warm water before bed could support internal cleaning and may aid your digestion, which is closely linked to skin health.
Diet plays a crucial role in managing Pitta imbalance. Focus on cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods that include plenty of fresh fruits such as melons, pears, and sweet berries, and avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods that increase Pitta. Including coriander, fennel, and turmeric in your meals might also help cool down excess heat in your system.
For external support, using natural ingredients can help with your pigmentation. Mix a teaspoon of sandalwood powder with rose water to form a paste and apply this on your face; sandalwood with its cooling nature can soothe Pitta imbalances. Leave it on for about 20 minutes then gently rinse. Regular application may gradually improve your complexion.
For warts, Ayurvedic classics recommend applying a garlic paste directly to the area, as garlic may help reduce them due to its antiviral properties. However, be cautious, because garlic is intense; it can burn the surrounding skin if left too long. Apply small amounts and rinse off after 10-15 minutes.
Be sure to protect your skin from sun exposure, using a natural sunscreen containing zinc oxide or pure coconut oil as a protective barrier. Regular exercise, like yoga, helps improve circulation and can ease stress, supporting overall skin health.
If these measures don’t work, or if new symptoms arise, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance based on your specific prakriti (body constitution) and current imbalance. Skin concerns can take time to heal, so patience and consistency are key.
Ayurvedic View of Your Skin Concerns Your skin issues – pigmentation, suntan, blackheads, and warts – are not only external problems. They reflect an internal imbalance of Pitta (heat), Rakta (blood), and Kapha (phlegm). This imbalance also relates to your history of fissures, which shows high Pitta in your system. Ayurveda focuses on correcting digestion, purifying the blood, balancing doshas, and using local remedies to restore skin health. Internal Medicines
Syp. Purodil – 2 teaspoonfuls twice daily.
Ayogyavardhini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily.
Sutshekhar Rasa - 2 tablets twice daily before meal.
Gandharva Haritaki – 2 tablets at bedtime (helps with digestion, constipation, and cleansing).
External Care
Face pack (morning) – Mix Manjistha + Masoor dal + raw milk; apply for 15 minutes, then wash before it dry completely with cold water.
Scrub (morning) – Use Arjuna churna gently with honey.
Sun protection – Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors, to prevent further pigmentation.
For Warts
The exact treatment depends on the type of wart. I will need to see a picture for proper guidance. Classical medicines like Kshara taila ,herbal applications or agni karma may be required, but they should be done only under an Ayurvedic physician’s supervision.
Additional Advice
Eat light, cooling, and fresh foods; avoid excess spicy, oily, and sour items.
Sleep on time, avoid day sleep, and protect your skin from direct sunlight.
Manage stress with yoga or pranayama, as stress worsens Pitta imbalance.

HELLO GAYATHHRI,
-Face Darker than body= this is usually due to excess Pitta dosha (heat, pigmentation, sensitivity) along with some kapha(oiliness, blackheads) -Pigmentation and tanning= suggests heat and toxins (ama) in blood -Blackheads and pimples (forehead)= kapha blockages in skin pores + pitta inflammation -Wart on neck= a local kapha growth, sometimes linked with weak skin immunity -Histroy of fissure
So it’s a pitta- kapha dominant skin disorder with rakta dushti (blood impurity) , sluggish digestion/ metabolism and local kapha overgrowth
TREATMENT GOALS -purify blood and balance pitta-> reduce pigmentation and tanning -clear kapha blockages-> prevent blackheads and warts -improve digestion and liver function -> root of skin health - nourish skin externally-> support natural complexion - balance lifestyle and diet-> prevent recurrence

3) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =supports liver, corrects metabolism, helps with chronic pigmentation
4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =detox, regulates bowels, clears ama

2) CLEANSING= avoid chemical soaps, use moong dal flour or besan with a pinch of turmeric for washing face
3) FOR WARTS= Ayurveda sometimes applies Apamarga kshara or Arka latex but under supervision not at home

LIFESTYLE TIPS -protect face from direct harsh su (cotton scarf, umbrella) -sleep on time before 11 pm- liver and skin repair happens at night -avoid late night screen bingeing, smoking, alcohol
YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana -halassana -bhujangasana -shalabhasana =improve skin circulation

Your skin condition is reversible, but its slow journey. Ayurveda works by cleansing inside first, then showing changes outside. Usually people notice reduced oiliness and clearer texture in 1-2 mnoths while pigmentation takes 3-4 months . The wart may need local removal, but once your system is balanced, new ones won’t form easily
Patience, consistency, and lifestyle changes are the keys. Think of its as re setting your body skin software

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

The issues you’re facing with skin pigmentation, wrats on the neck, and persistent blackness might be rooted in an imbalance of your dosha, particularly relating to Pitta. Pitta dosha governs skin health, and its aggravation can lead to these skin conditions. To help restore balance, we need to look at diet, lifestyle, and some natural remedies.
Firstly, focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. This means avoiding spicy, acidic, and fried foods, which can exacerbate the Pitta dosha. Instead, include cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and amla (Indian gooseberry). Hydration is crucial; drinking coconut water, or plain water with a pinch of cardamom can be beneficial.
Externally, for the pigmentation and blackheads, try using a natural cleanser. Make a paste using chickpea flour (besan) and rose water, apply it gently to your face, leave it for 10 minutes before rinsing. This mixture can help in cleansing and brightening the skin over time. For the wrats on your neck, applying a mix of crushed garlic and turmeric directly can sometimes aid in reducing them gradually, although it might take time and you may notice a stinging sensation.
It’s also beneficial to practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga or meditation to help balance your entire system and reduce Pitta aggravation. Avoiding peak sun exposure and applying a natural sunscreen like aloe vera gel can prevent further tanning. Monitor your digestive health, as poor digestion can contribute to skin problems; consider using a mild Ayurvedic detox like triphala at night to improve Agni (digestive fire).
If the condition doesn’t improve or worsens, or if any new symptoms arise, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure there’s nothing more serious underlying these symptoms.
