🌿 Introduction: Diet as the First Step to Clear Skin

When it comes to pigmentation and melasma, most people rush towards creams, oils, or treatments. But Ayurveda reminds us: “What you eat shows on your skin.”

Pigmentation is often a sign of excess Pitta dosha—the energy of heat and transformation. If left unchecked, it manifests as:

• Dark spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Redness or inflammation

By following a Pitta-balancing Ayurvedic diet, you can reduce pigmentation naturally and support glowing, radiant skin.
