🌸 Important Points
In Ayurveda, pigmentation and melasma are commonly associated to an inflamed Pitta dosha.
• Foods that chill, hydrate, and are high in antioxidants can help keep your skin clear.
• Don’t eat things that are hot, greasy, fermented, or make you sweat more. They make pigmentation worse.
• To help your body heal from the inside out, add HerbOcean Radiance Tailam and HerbOcean Radiance Cream to your skincare routine.
• Ayurveda says that a healthy diet, lifestyle, and herbal treatment are all important parts of true beauty.

🌿 Beginning: The First Step to Clear Skin Is Your Diet
When it comes to pigmentation and melasma, most individuals quickly turn to lotions, oils, or treatments. Ayurveda says, “What you eat shows on your skin.”
Pigmentation is generally an indication of too much Pitta dosha, which is the energy of heat and change. It shows up as dark blotches if you don’t do anything about it.
• Skin tone that isn’t even • Redness or swelling
A Pitta-balancing Ayurvedic diet can help you get rid of dark spots and keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful.
