Everyday exposure to pollution, stress, processed food, and overuse of chemical-laden skincare can lead to buildup—called ama in Ayurveda. When ama accumulates in the skin, it shows up as dullness, breakouts, uneven tone, and congestion.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to skin detoxification that restores radiance by working from the inside out. Here's how to reboot your skin the natural way.

What Is Ama and Why Does It Dull Your Skin?

Ama refers to metabolic waste or toxins that arise from incomplete digestion. It can accumulate on the skin through poor diet, sluggish circulation, and external impurities. Signs of ama in the skin include:

• Persistent Dullness
• Clogged pores or blackheads
• Inflammation or patchy skin
• A lack of glow, even after moisturizing

Ayurvedic detox focuses on clearing these blockages through lifestyle, herbal care, and mindful nutrition.

Best Ayurvedic Herbs for Skin Detox

1. Manjistha

A powerful blood cleanser that supports lymphatic drainage and clears skin congestion.

2. Neem

Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory—great for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

3. Triphala

Supports digestion and elimination to reduce internal ama buildup.

4. Turmeric

A skin-brightening herb that reduces inflammation and promotes even tone.
