Lalas Spice Gel - #32365
I am really needin some advice about this Lalas Spice Gel. A couple weeks ago, I had this really annoying rash on my arms and some spots on my legs — super itchy and red. I tried all sorts of creams, but nothing worked. Then my friend mentioned Lalas Spice Gel, says it’s really good for skin issues. I was skeptical at first but thought I’d give it shot, you know? After using it for a few days my rash kinda calmed down a bit, but now my skin just feels so dry and weird. Like, is that normal? It’s like the gel is working but then also making things worse at the same time, which is confusing. I am not sure if I should keep using Lalas Spice Gel or looking for something else. Also, I've read mixed things online, some people love it and others say it causes more irritation. Ugh. Should I be worried about these side effects or is this just part of the healing process? I just want my skin to feel normal again, without all this itchiness and flakiness! Anyone has similar experiences or tips?


Doctors’ responses
Certainly, addressing your rash and dry skin concerns with Lalas Spice Gel requires an understanding of both Ayurvedic principles and general skin care. Lalas Spice Gel, as you’re experiencing it, likely contains multiple spices and herbal extracts. These ingredients can indeed be healing but sometimes their intense action can also dry out the skin, especially for those whose skin is already sensitive or dry-prone.
The drying you’re feeling might mean that the gel is a bit too astringent for your kind of skin. It’s not unusual for a product to help in one way and then bring up another concern. According to Ayurvedic principles, Vata dosha might be aggravated in your case, causing dryness and flakiness. To balance this, incorporating some moisturizing agents could be useful.
Try adding a small amount of natural oil like coconut or almond oil after the application of the gel – it may neutralize some of the dryness without interfering much with the gel’s active actions. This combination can help maintain the skin’s moisture level while the gel calms the rash. But note any increase in irritation or discomfort with this new step.
If you find your skin continues to act unusually — becoming very dry or showing increased redness, then it might be wise to pause the use of Lalas Spice Gel and perhaps consult a dermatologist to ensure there’s no significant allergic reaction or a deeper skin issue at play.
Additionally, make sure you’re hydrated internally as well. Warm water with a pinch of cumin or coriander helps in flushing out toxins, potentially easing skin issues. Including foods rich in Omega-3s, like flax seeds or fish, supports skin health too.
Monitor your skin closely. If the negative side effects continue or worsen, it’s better to re-evaluate the use of this gel in your routine, as skin sensitivities can vary widely among individuals.
When using products like Lalas Spice Gel, it’s important to understand the INGREDIENTS and how they might interact with your unique skin type, your prakriti. While some natural or herbal components can be soothing for certain skin conditions, they can potentially irritate when they’re not well-suited to your particular dosha balance or skin sensitivity. The dryness and uncomfortable texture you’re experiencing might be due to an imbalance it’s causing, or simply because your skin needs different care.
In the context of Ayurveda, rashes and skin conditions often tie back to imbalances in pitta dosha, sometimes aggravated by factors like stress, diet, or heat. The initial relief you felt suggests Lalas Spice Gel might have been addressing some pitta-related symptoms. However, it seems like your skin’s response became more like a vata aggravation — dryness and flakiness usually point that way.
Consider pausing use of the gel and focus on cooling, soothing, and hydrating remedies. Applying a mild oil like coconut or sesame can help nourish the skin and balance vata. Make sure your diet is rich in hydrating, cooling foods, like cucumber or avocados, avoiding processed or spicy foods which may worsen a pitta imbalance. Also, drinking plenty of water or herbal teas like chamomile can support hydration from inside.
If the dry or strange sensation persist, monitoring symptoms and reaching out to a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist is advisable. They can perform a more personalized evaluation, suggest appropriate treatments, and rule out any underlying conditions if necessary. Keeping your skin routine simple and avoiding complex mixtures until your skin stabilizes can be a beneficial approach.
