In Ayurveda, hair fall, uneven skin tone, dark circles, and dull skin are often signs of imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, which can lead to poor circulation, dryness, and accumulated ama (toxins) in the body. To address these concerns, we need to balance these doshas through nourishing treatments, detoxification, and strengthening routines for both skin and hair.
For hair fall, regular scalp massage with Bhringraj or Amla oil is beneficial, as these oils help strengthen the roots, reduce hair loss, and improve hair texture. Massage the scalp gently, leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes, and rinse with a mild herbal shampoo. Brahmi and Ashwagandha can be taken internally to reduce stress, which often contributes to hair fall, and to promote healthy hair growth.
To address uneven skin tone and dark pigmentation around the mouth and forehead, use a gentle face pack made from sandalwood powder, turmeric, and rose water. Apply this weekly to lighten pigmentation and even out skin tone. Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia), a blood-purifying herb, can be taken internally as it helps clear toxins from the blood, which can improve skin clarity and reduce pigmentation. Triphala powder taken at night with warm water is another excellent choice for detoxification and maintaining clear skin from within.
For dark circles, ensure adequate hydration and focus on cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods such as cucumbers, aloe vera, and leafy greens. Practicing regular pranayama (breathing exercises), especially nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can improve circulation around the eyes and reduce puffiness and dark circles. Using a few drops of almond oil under the eyes before bedtime can also provide nourishment and help reduce dark circles over time.
To enhance the face’s natural glow, start the day with a glass of warm water with lemon and honey, which aids digestion and detoxification. Avoid processed and fried foods, as these can increase ama and dull the skin’s appearance. A daily warm oil massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil can balance Vata, improve circulation, and bring a healthy glow to the skin.

Sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit right now, and that can be really overwhelming. Let's take a look at this from an ayurvedic perspective.
First off, hair fall and uneven skin tone often connect to dosha imbalances. Specifically, Pitta imbalance can affect skin while Vata can bring issues to hair, though there's often an overlap. To pacify these doshas, start with food - eat cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumber, watermelon, and coconuts. Avoid spicy, fried, or greasy stuff too. For balancing Vata, include warm, nourishing foods such as soups, stews, and incorporate healthy fats like ghee in your diet.
Now, about that skin tone. Try Sandalwood or turmeric paste for the face; they work wonders (unless you're allergic, of course). Mixing some sandalwood powder with rose water to use as a mask can help the glow come back gradually. Aloe Vera gel applied overnight might soothe and repair as well, just be consistent.
Dark circles... ah, sleep, stress, or even dehydration can play a role. Ensure you're getting enough water, as dehydration's sneaky. Incorporate hydrating herbs like tulsi and ashwagandha; they'll promoting relaxation too. Place cold tea bags or a bit of grated cucumber over closed eyes to reduce puffiness.
Hair-wise, a good warm oil scalp massage can work like magic. Use coconut or sesame oil infused with hibiscus or amla powder. Leave it overnight, then wash in the morning with a mild shampoo.
Load up on veggies while ensuring proper digestion – sipping warm water through the day keeps Agni (digestive fire) stable. Try triphala powder before bed for cleansing.
Consistency is key here, remember Ayurveda roots in lifestyle changes. Give it time, as transformation takes patience. If anything feels off, might be good reach out to an Ayurvedic practitioner. Prioritize yourself and listen to what your body needs.
