Types Of Pigmentation:
1. Sunspots and Age Spots:
Sunspots, often called age spots or liver spots, result from prolonged sun exposure. These small, dark patches usually appear on that part of the skin that is frequently exposed to the sun directly, like the face, hands, and shoulders.2. Melasma - The Mask of Pregnancy:
Melasma is a common pigmentation concern among women, especially during pregnancy. It manifests as large, symmetrical patches of darker skin, primarily on the face. Hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics are often contributing factors.3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):
PIH occurs after skin inflammation or injury, such as acne, burns, or cuts. It leads to dark patches that can take weeks or even months to fade away.4. Hormonal Imbalances:
Internal changes in the body, such as changes in hormone levels or conditions such as PCOS, thyroid, and pregnancy, can cause skin pigmentation.Tips To Treat & Avoid Skin Pigmentation:
- Plan your day keeping your body's circadian rhythms: try to wake up early, exercise, meditate, eat balanced & healthy meals and sleep early.
- Hydrated skin is less prone to skin pigmentation. Ensure you take 8-10 glasses of water every day.Â
- Include fruits and vegetables in your meals.Â
- Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. When outdoors, make most physical blocks like dark-coloured clothing, use sunscreen, and wear sunglasses and hats to avoid sun exposure. Â
Ayurvedic Solutions To Skin Pigmentation:
In Ayurveda, skin pigmentation is seen as an imbalance in the body's doshas. The holistic approach addresses the root cause while nourishing the skin from within. Here are some Ayurvedic remedies to help you journey to even-toned skin.1. Turmeric - Nature's Brightening Agent:
Turmeric, a golden treasure in Ayurveda, is renowned for its skin-brightening properties. Create a paste using turmeric, chickpea flour, and milk or yoghurt. Apply it to the affected areas, allowing its natural goodness to work wonders. Tip: After applying the turmeric paste, massage a few drops of Glow Active Facial Oil or Glow Fresh Facial Oil onto the perfectly cleansed and toned face and neck area. Enriched with the goodness of natural ingredients, it will purify, rebalance, and refine skin texture. It will also help in tightening pores.
2. Neem - The Bitter Elixir of Beauty:
Neem, known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, can assist in managing pigmentation. Mix neem powder with water or Rose water to form a paste and apply it as a spot treatment.
3. Saffron Infusion for Radiance:
Saffron, the luxurious spice, is a time-honoured ingredient in Ayurveda. Soak a few strands of saffron in milk overnight. Apply this saffron-infused milk to your face and let it soak in. The result? A radiant, illuminated complexion. Tip: Use Glamour World Ayurvedic’s Kesar Milk Face Wash for bright and supple skin.
