Vata causes dryness and rough, aged appearance, while Pitta can lead to pigmentation and irritation. ------Dx: Vata-Pitta Dushti (Twak Vaivarnya) —Rx: 1)Tab. Dermacharge (Aimil) – 1 tab bd after food 2) Exoskin Cream (Aimil) – apply locally bd 3) Ayouthveda Delicate Skin Moisturizer (Aimil) – apply 2–3× daily 4) Pinda Taila – local massage at night —Advice: Avoid dryness/friction, use mild soap, wear soft footwear, hydrate well —Follow-up: 4 weeks
