Achieving and maintaining beautiful and healthy skin is a common desire, often pursued through various home remedies and commercial products. While health-related issues are often attributed to skin problems, astrology suggests that planetary positions can also play a role in skin conditions. Specific planets are associated with skin-related matters, and their unfavourable positions in the horoscope can lead to skin blemishes.

Mercury takes the forefront in responsibility for the skin, with the Virgo zodiac sign also linked to skin health. Additionally, the sun and Mars significantly influence the condition of the skin. The unfavourable placement of Rahu can exacerbate minor skin problems. The conjunction of Mercury, Rahu, sun, and Mars is believed to contribute to various skin diseases. Astrology provides remedies to mitigate the adverse effects of these planets on the skin.


Mercury, when afflicted, can lead to issues such as rashes, itching, and wrinkles, causing the data-face to lose its vitality. To pacify Mercury, one can consume more green vegetables, bathe with water boiled with neem leaves, and chant Mercury-related mantras. Wearing an emerald gemstone associated with Mercury is also recommended.


A weakened sun in the horoscope can result in skin deterioration, loss of facial glow, and sunburn, leading to red spots. Strengthening the sun can be achieved through practices such as drinking water stored in a copper vessel overnight, morning sun salutations, adopting a sattvic diet, and wearing a copper ring on the ring finger based on astrological advice.


Mars, being associated with blood, can cause blood disorders leading to skin problems. Issues such as rashes or black marks may indicate a challenging Mars position. Drinking ample water, applying multani mitti on the skin, and wearing a coral gemstone as per astrological recommendations are suggested remedies for Mars-related skin concerns.
