Top Ayurvedic Tips and Ingredients

Try out these to treat hyperpigmentation right away.

1. Manjistha
   
   Manjistha is extremely effective for skin whitening. It is renowned as a rejuvenating skin care plant in Ayurveda and has been used for centuries to cause skin lightening. It is used to smoothen the skin and lighten the dark spots. Its medicinal properties are described in Ayurvedic scriptures as brightness boosting (varya), blood relaxing (rakta prasdaka), and blood purifying (rakta odhaka). Manjistha includes glycosides such as manjisthin and purpurine, as well as lime salts, resins, and colouring additives. This Ayurvedic ingredient can be used both topically and internally to whiten or lighten the skin’s colour.

Use

Manjistha may be included in your skincare routine in a variety of ways. To cure dark spots successfully, use two Manjistha pills every day. Besides, to remove freckles and spots, you can also apply Akansha Herbal’s Twakmadhuri Face Pack on both normal and dry skin.

2. Aloe Vera
   
   According to research, many components in aloe vera are found to have skin-lightening properties, such as aloin and aloesin. These may lessen the severity of hyperpigmentation by killing the existing melanin cells and reducing new melanin synthesis in the skin.

Use

Look for a mature plant that is many years old, since it will have higher quantities of aloin and aloesin. Remove a few thick leaves from the plant’s outer layer. Scrape the interior gel from the thin exterior leaf using a knife or your fingertips. This gel must be applied to your skin. Refrigerate the gel by cutting it into slices or cubes. Remove and use as required.

3. Turmeric
   
   In some research, it has been shown that curcumin inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme required for melanin formation. While clinical tests are yet to be conducted, this trait points to the possibility that repeated topical uses of turmeric may eventually lighten skin colour. As darker skin cells naturally exfoliate, they are replaced with cells that match one’s natural skin tone.

Use

Turmeric powder can be mixed with water or milk to make a paste, which can then be spread on the face. Keep the mixture on for 10–20 minutes, or until totally dry, before rinsing it off with warm water. Repeat this every day until your hyperpigmentation has faded.

4. Papaya
   
   Papaya is a special ingredient that aids in the removal of scars and irregular pigmentation from the skin. The fruit has skin-lightening properties that aid in the removal of blemishes and discolouration. The enzyme papain found in papaya serves as a powerful skin exfoliant, removing dead cells and, making the skin lighter in tone and more supple. Furthermore, the quantity of beta-carotene and plant components found in papaya improves the skin’s lustre and appearance.

Use

In a mixing dish, combine papaya chunks, aloe vera gel, and orange juice. After cleaning your face and neck, apply an even coating of this paste. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water and patting it dry with a soft towel.

5. Tomato
   
   The use of a tomato face pack to remove skin pigmentation can be quite successful. Lycopene, a component found in tomatoes, helps to restore damaged skin cells. In addition, using tomato juice, which is high in vitamin C, enhances the skin’s complexion. Besides, the application of sugar helps to keep the skin exfoliated by regulating the skin’s pH level.

Use

You only need tomatoes and sugar to make a face pack. Grind tomatoes and sugar to make a thick paste before applying it to your face. Allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes, and wash your face using cold water thereafter.
