ABSTRACT:
Good complexion is a great cause of concern to many people, irrespective of age gender, cast creed and religion. Good complexion is one among the criteria of health. Nowadays busy life style, lack of skin care, over exposure to sunlight, pollution, use of chemical-based cosmetics and hormonal disturbances are the cause for skin dullness and lack of luster. Markets and Medias are bombarded with many external beauty enhancement products. Use of such products will also become the cause of dull complexion and other skin related issues. Bahiparimarjan chikitsa in the form of LEPA have been described in the classical texts of Ayurveda. For enhancement of skin complexion varnya lepas are mentioned. Among those based on their varnyakara properties Yashtimadhu and Manjishtha have been considered for application in lepa form (face packs) in dull complexion. These lepas will be tested on hyper pigmented, tanned and dull complexion. Pre and post assessment will be done based on the photographs. The collected data will provide promising results in establishing the complexion enhancing properties of the above mentioned lepas (face packs).
