Darkening of the face can result from factors such as excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, stress, and dietary deficiencies, often indicating an imbalance of Pitta dosha. To address this through Ayurveda, consider taking Amla powder (1 teaspoon daily) for skin health, and using Kesar in a paste to lighten pigmentation. Incorporate Manjistha (500 mg twice daily) for its blood-purifying properties. Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet with coconut, cucumber, and leafy greens while avoiding spicy and processed foods. Apply a Ubtan made from chickpea flour, turmeric, and milk weekly for exfoliation, and use a mixture of rose water and aloe vera gel for soothing the skin. Additionally, practice yoga and meditation for stress management and ensure sun protection with broad-spectrum sunscreen. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment will help address any underlying issues and improve your complexion over time.

I get it, dealing with skin issues can be frustrating, especially when you're not seeing much change with allopathic treatments. In Ayurveda, the skin condition is closely linked to the balance of doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. Darkening of the skin might be rooted in internal imbalance.
First off, your diet and lifestyle play a big role. Are you consuming a lot of spicy, oily, or processed foods? These can aggravate Pitta and lead to skin problems. Try incorporating more cooling and nourishing foods like cucumbers, melons, and coconut water. They not only help balance Pitta but also hydrate naturally.
Hydration's key too. Are you drinking enough water every day? It sounds simple, right, but it really does matter for skin health. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day, it keeps your skin plump and helps flush out toxins.
External applications can help too. You might want to try making a paste using sandalwood powder and rose water. Apply it on your face 2-3 times a week, wash off after 20 mins. Sandalwood's cooling and can help soothe Pitta.
Abhyanga, or oil massage, with a gentle herbal oil like kumkumadi tailam could support skin health as well. Try regular gentle massages, particularly before a bath, which can nourish your skin from the outside.
Life can be stressful, can't it? Increased stress can sometimes aggravate dosha imbalances. Deep breathing exercises or yoga practices could do wonders not just for your mind, but also for your skin by balancing Vata and Pitta.
If you don't see any changes or if it worsens, it's a good idea to consult an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner. They'll assess your prakriti and guide you through more personalized regimens. Take small steps, give it time and see how your body responds. Remember, healing's more about the journey than the destination.
