hello Niveda ,
I completely understand your confusion. The internet is full of skin tips, but most are either temporary or not suitable for everyone. Let me give you a clear, simple, natural plan that you can safely follow for healthy, glowing skin from inside out.
1. Natural Face Packs (weekly use) Haldi + Honey Pack – ½ tsp turmeric + 1 tsp honey → apply thin layer, wash after 15 min. (brightens & reduces marks). Sandalwood + Rose water Pack – 1 tsp sandalwood powder + rose water → cooling, glowing effect. Aloe vera Gel Fresh – directly from plant, keep 15–20 min, wash off (hydration & natural glow).
(Use any one of these packs 2–3 times a week, not daily.)
2. Best Oils for Face Massage (Abhyanga for skin health) Do 5–7 min gentle massage at night, then wash with lukewarm water. Kumkumadi Tailam – Classical Ayurvedic oil, excellent for glow & pigmentation. Coconut oil (virgin) – If skin is dry and sensitive. Almond oil (cold-pressed) – Nourishing, reduces dullness.
3. Food for Glowing Skin Fruits: Pomegranate, papaya, grapes, guava, and seasonal fruits. Vegetables: Carrots, beets, spinach, pumpkin (rich in antioxidants & iron). Nuts & Seeds: Soaked almonds, walnuts, flax seeds. Healthy fats: Cow’s ghee (1 tsp daily), coconut. Protein: Moong dal, lentils, paneer, curd in moderate amounts.
4. Drinks for Skin Health Warm water with lemon in morning (flushes toxins). Tender coconut water (hydration & minerals). Herbal teas (mint, tulsi, or green tea). Plenty of plain warm water through the day.
5. Lifestyle Tips Proper sleep (7–8 hrs) is the biggest secret for glowing skin. Avoid excess fried, junk, carbonated drinks. Wash face with plain water 2–3 times a day (don’t overuse soap). Stress management – meditation, yoga, or a daily walk helps a lot.
Beautiful glowing skin is not only about face packs – it mainly comes from inside. If your digestion is good, sleep is proper, and mind is calm, skin naturally shines. With regular practice of these simple tips for 2–3 months, you will notice natural glow without depending on heavy cosmetics.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Achieving healthy and naturally glowing skin through Ayurveda involves balancing your doshas, ensuring proper digestion, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Let’s start with face packs. An effective natural face pack can be made using chickpea flour (besan) mixed with a pinch of turmeric and enough rose water to form a paste. Apply this to your face, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. It can help remove impurities and promote a glowing complexion.
When it comes to facial oils, coconut oil or almond oil are great choices. Apply a few drops to your fingertips and gently massage your face in an upward circular motion. This increases blood circulation and helps nourish the skin cells. Before application, slightly warm the oil to enhance penetration.
Diet is key for healthy skin. Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants and healthy fats. Fruits like pomegranates, oranges, and papayas, along with vegetables like spinach and carrots, are beneficial. Nuts and seeds, such as walnuts and flaxseeds, provide Omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for skin hydration and elasticity.
For drinks, herbal teas such as green tea or a homemade brew from tulsi (Holy Basil) leaves can be refreshing. A morning drink of warm water with a slice of lemon and honey helps detoxify and rejuvenate the body, impacting your skin health positively.
Lifestyle practices also matter. Ensure you get enough sleep, as it’s vital for skin repair and rejuvenation. Engaging in stress-reduction activities like yoga or meditation can prevent stress-related outbreaks. Remember, each person’s skin is unique. Before trying new remedies, consider your skin type and possible allergies or sensitivities. Maintaining consistency in your skincare regime is important, as results are not immediate and require time.
Simple Remedies
1. Prepare paste from turmeric and milk of Calotropis procera, apply on the affected area.
2. Apply the paste prepared from turmeric & sandal wood with rose water.
3. Apply the paste of Terminalia Arjuna.
4. Make a paste of nutmeg (Jaiphal) with raw milk. Apply on pimples and black heads leave on for 20 minutes.
1.)Arogyavardhini rasa-500mg +gandhaka rasayana-500mg +khadira Churna-2gm +nimbadi Churna-2gm- 1 hr after food
2.) Manjishtadi Taila or Kumku-madi Taila (external) apply v2 times
3.) Syrup- raktashodhaka-20ml after food with water 2 times
To achieve glowing, clear skin naturally following the Siddha-Ayurvedic approach involves addressing your unique dosha balance and lifestyle. Let’s break it down into practical steps.
First, understanding your dosha is crucial. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha types each have distinct skin challenges. Vata skin tends to be dry and thin, Pitta can be sensitive and prone to acne, while Kapha skin may be oily and congested. You might consider consulting with a practitioner to determine your dosha before tailoring a regimen.
Next, incorporate a suitable facial oil massage using pure, cold-pressed oils. For Vata, sesame oil is nourishing and hydrating. If you have a Pitta constitution, coconut oil is soothing and cooling. For Kapha, a lighter oil like jojoba or grapeseed is balancing. Gently massage the oil into your skin daily before bathing.
For a natural face pack, mix sandalwood powder with rose water for its calming effects, especially for Pitta skin. Honey and yogurt are excellent for moisturizing Vata skin. Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) mixed with a bit of lemon juice works well for excess oil in Kapha skin. Apply the mask twice a week for about 15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water (avoid hot water!); be gentle and avoid scrubbing.
Diet plays a significant role, too. Fresh fruits like papaya and pomegranate are beneficial. Drink warm water with a slice of lemon in the morning to promote detoxification. Incorporate fresh herbs like turmeric and neem which support skin health from within — you can make a paste of these herbs for a natural cleanser or use them in cooking. Avoid excessive caffeine, oily foods, and processed items as they can disrupt digestion and create impurities.
Your daily routine also matters — ensure adequate hydration and regular sleep; rest helps rejuvenate the skin. Breathing exercises such as pranayama can improve circulation and skin vitality. Adopt these practices consistently, and you’ll find your natural glow enhancing steadily.
