Skin reflects the beauty of healthy individuals. Today, cosmetics have become essential part of our daily routine but natural beauty is getting spoiled because of the harmful chemicals in some cosmetics. Thus, the demand of herbal product is increasing globally in cosmetic field. The concept of Varna dealt in Ayurveda is an innate entity of beauty. Melasma is the skin disease which have high prevalence rate of 1.5% to 33.3%. Lohita is the site for Vyanga which is one of the Kshudra Roga, characterized by Niruja (painless), Shyava Varna Mandala (bluish black patches) occurring especially on the face. On the basis of clinical features, it is correlated with melasma or facial melanosis, one of the hyperpigmented disorders. In modern medical science, topical steroids have been described in the management of fascial melanosis. However, the topical steroids are not completely free from adverse effects such as irritation, rashes. Hence there is a need to search better methods of management in Vyanga.
