Acne is one of the most common skin problems faced by people of all ages. According to Ayurveda, acne (known as Yauvan Pidika) occurs due to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha β the heat energy in the body β combined with toxins (Ama) that clog the skin pores. Instead of relying on harsh chemical treatments, Ayurveda offers gentle and effective natural remedies that heal the skin from within.
Letβs explore some simple and powerful Ayurvedic tips for clear, glowing, and acne-free skin.
Since acne is often caused by excess body heat, focus on cooling your system:
Drink coconut water, buttermilk, or aloe vera juice daily.
Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods.
Include cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, mint, and leafy greens in your diet.
Neem and Tulsi are known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
How to use:
Make a paste of neem leaves and Tulsi leaves with rose water.
Apply it to your face for 15β20 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water.
This helps clear acne, reduce scars, and purify your skin deeply.
Turmeric (Haldi) is a natural antiseptic and detoxifier.
Remedy:
Mix 1 teaspoon turmeric powder with 2 teaspoons honey or yogurt.
Apply evenly on your face and leave it for 15 minutes.
Wash off with cool water.
This mask fights bacteria and adds a healthy glow.
A clean digestive system is key to clear skin.
Take Triphala powder with warm water before bed to cleanse toxins.
Drink aloe vera juice every morning for internal detox and hydration.
Drink at least 8β10 glasses of water a day.
Wash your face with a mild herbal cleanser twice daily.
Apply rose water as a natural toner.
Use sandalwood or multani mitti masks weekly to cool and rejuvenate the skin.
Get 7β8 hours of sleep daily.
Practice yoga and meditation to reduce stress.
