New Delhi, April 6: As summer approaches, taking care of both body and skin becomes essential. Unlike winter, when skin care is less of a concern, summer demands protection from various elements.
The harsh sun and sweat can lead to dull skin, causing issues like acne and pimples. Fortunately, Ayurveda offers several herbs that can rejuvenate the skin.
The first herb is Neem. Known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, Neem helps purify the blood and restore skin radiance. If you are struggling with pimples and acne this summer, consider applying a paste made from Neem leaves mixed with Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth).
Next is Manjistha. This herb is recognized in Ayurveda for its blood-purifying qualities. It can be consumed to improve skin tone and can also be used in face packs for enhanced benefits.
Third on the list is Turmeric. Commonly found in households, Turmeric is rich in antibacterial properties that enhance beauty and help eliminate blemishes. For a soothing face pack, mix a pinch of Turmeric with Multani Mitti and Sandalwood. This combination also cools the skin.
The fourth herb is Sandalwood. It possesses cooling properties that deeply nourish the skin during summer and mitigate the adverse effects of sun exposure.
Lastly, Licorice (Mulethi) is not only effective for relieving colds and coughs but has also been used for centuries to treat skin-related issues. Its application can reduce dark spots and alleviate tanning. Incorporating these face packs into your summer routine can help address various skin concerns effectively.
