Why my dark spot is not removing? - #4814

Namaste Harman ji,

For dark spots, dryness, and skin discoloration, Ayurveda suggests:

Herbal Remedies: Apply Kumkumadi Tailam on the spots at night for skin glow and spot reduction. Use Aloe Vera gel mixed with a pinch of Turmeric daily. Ubtan (Face Pack): Mix Chandan (Sandalwood) powder, Multani Mitti, Rose Water, and a few drops of Lemon Juice. Apply twice a week. Diet: Include foods rich in antioxidants like Amla, Carrots, and Beetroot. Drink plenty of water and have cow’s ghee for skin hydration. Lifestyle: Avoid harsh soaps, excessive sun exposure, and stay stress-free. Internal Medicines: Take Manjishthadi Kwath or Mahamanjishthadi Ghanvati for blood purification. Regular care and patience will bring results. Consult a vaidya for personalized treatment.

Hey, you’re feeling like your skin just isn’t cooperating with what you’d like, huh? Dark spots on the nose and cheeks paired with dry skin can be a bit of a hassle, but let’s talk about some Ayurvedic angles to tackle this.

First off, your scenario kinda screams “Vata imbalance” to me, which often leads to dry, undernourished skin. When Vata’s off-balance, it sucks the moisture out and can lead to dullness and pigmentation issues.

For your skincare, try a gentle, natural routine. You should use natural oils, like sesame or almond, on your skin. Just gently massage a few drops on your face every night, it’s like a mini spa experience at home! These oils are nourishing and help replenish the moisture barrier.

Next is diet. What you eat counts big. Include more healthy fats, like avocados, nuts, and ghee, in your diet, 'cause these fats help to keep the skin smooth and hydrated. Also, hydrating from within, drinking warm herbal teas like chamomile or fennel can be soothing and comforting.

Eating cooked veggies over raw ones can be beneficial since they’re easier on digestion, promoting Ojas - that’s positive energy which reflects as glowing skin. But yeah, avoid too much caffeine or processed foods as they might irritate your Vata further.

You might also want to look into Turmeric and Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia). Manjistha, in powdered form, can be taken with warm water after meals to help in detoxifying the blood, which might help reduce those dark spots. Turmeric, with a bit of honey, can be a lovely face mask that nourishes and brightens.

And don’t underestimate stress relief, you know… Kalari breathing exercises or yoga could melp manage stress levels, 'cause stress can sometimes show on your skin too.

Make sure your Agni, or digestive fire, is strong because assimilation of nutrients is vital for skin’s health. A pro tip is to eat meals in regular, small portions to ensure you’re not overwhelming your system.

But hey, if it continues to bug you despite these steps, consulting a local practitioner could provide a more personalized plan matching your Prakriti (constitution). Just take it slow, tweak things as needed, and hopefully, you’ll see some change in time.
