Your symptoms suggest hormonal imbalance (possibly PCOS), mild nutritional deficiencies, and sensitive skin prone to oil buildup and dullness. For skin, use a niacinamide-based serum (like The Ordinary 10%), salicylic acid face wash, and Multani mitti + rose water mask weekly. Please consult a dermatologist and gynecologist to assess hormones and deficiencies, and follow a protein-rich diet with iron, zinc, and vitamin D to support nails, hair, and skin.

Addressing multiple skin and hair concerns requires a holistic approach that focuses on effective skincare routines and healthy lifestyle choices. For acne, blackheads, and whiteheads, a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide used twice daily can help unclog pores and reduce acne lesions. A non-comedogenic moisturizer is essential to keep the skin hydrated without further blocking pores. Consider using a topical retinoid in the evening, which promotes cell turnover and reduces acne and pigmentation issues. Itās useful for dullness too. Note: retinoids can be irritating, so apply a sunscreen during the day, as they can increase sun sensitivity.
For facial hair and underarm darkening, options like laser hair removal can be effective, but if access is limited, you might try topical creams that contain eflornithine to slow down facial hair growth. Exfoliating regularly, but gently, can help lighten underarms over time. Consider natural remedies like a paste of baking soda and water; however, if darkening is persistent, consult a dermatologist to rule out other underlying skin issues.
For your hair and nails, ensure adequate intake of nutrients, especially proteins, iron, zinc, and biotin, which are essential for their health. Hair oils with ingredients like coconut or argan oil can nourish rough ends, while a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can support nail strength. If hair and nail issues persist, consulting a healthcare provider for possible deficiencies or other health conditions might be necessary. Stay hydrated and practice regular exercise to promote overall skin health. Always consider patch testing new skincare products to prevent adverse reactions.
