This reflects an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to excessive oiliness, inflammation, and toxin accumulation in the skin.
Suggestions:
Herbal Support:
Neem (Azadirachta indica): Purifies blood and reduces acne.
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia): Improves complexion and reduces marks.
Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes the skin and heals scars.
Skincare Regimen:
Cleanse with a natural face wash containing neem and turmeric.
Use a mask made of sandalwood and rose water twice a week.
Avoid harsh cosmetics; opt for non-comedogenic products.
Dietary Recommendations:
Avoid spicy, fried, and sugary foods. Include turmeric, ginger, and green leafy vegetables.
Drink warm water with a pinch of turmeric daily.
Lifestyle Modifications:
Avoid stress, which aggravates Pitta.
Regular exercise to manage PCOS and improve skin health.

Ah, dealing with PCOS and skin issues sounds like a real hurdle! So, why with PCOS are you seeing acne and all that? Well, in Ayurveda, it’s often tied to an imbalance in hormones, specifically related to Kapha and Pitta dosha. Imagine excess heat from Pitta along with the oily, heavy qualities of Kapha, and voilà, skin issues show up...
But there's hope! Instead of just products, let’s start with balancing your doshas and managing what's inside first. First off, focus on diet — eating foods that are cooling, light and easy on digestion can make a diff. Avoid spicy stuff, fried food, and processed sugar, cuz they exacerbate Pitta and Kapha. Try opting for fresh veggies and fruits, especially those with cooling properties like cucumber and melon. Herbal teas, like spearmint, can be great too for balancing hormones.
On the skincare front, choosing products can be tricky but stick to non-comedogenic ones. Look for labels with natural ingredients like neem, aloe vera or sandalwood which are soothing. And you mentioned open pores – using a cooling face mask made of multani mitti (fuller's earth) mixed with rose water maybe once a week might help calm the skin. Also, treat scars gently with turmeric paste – it’s known for its lightening properties.
Don't forget lifestyle changes. Regular exercise can help tamper down excess Kapha – could be simple, a brisk walk in the morning sun or yoga, trust me, movement can help regulate insulin levels as well. Managing stress through meditation could also be a game-changer.
Lastly, it could be worthwhile to consult an Ayurvedic expert nearby who might recommend some specific herbs like Guduchi or Shatavari, useful for balancing hormones. Just keep consistent, even small changes over time can turn things around, you got this!
