2. Acne
A Kapha-Pitta dosha skin type can be prone to acne and pimples. According to Ayurveda, aggravation of Kapha increases sebum production which clogs the pores. This results in the formation of both white and blackheads. An aggravation of Pitta also causes red papules (bumps) and inflammation with pus. Applying Shankhpushpi helps to control acne.
