Winter Skin Care the Ayurvedic Way: How to Use Kumkumadi Face Oil and Rosemary Oil
Cold winds, hot showers and indoor heaters can leave your face dry, dull and tight by mid-winter. Many people now switch to Ayurvedic skin care products for a gentler, more natural routine. Ayurveda has used herbal oils on the skin for centuries, and two worth knowing are Kumkumadi face oil and rosemary essential oil. In this guide, we explain why skin dries out in winter, how to use each oil safely, and how to build a simple night-time routine with natural skin care products for the face. Always do a patch test before trying any new product.
Why Does Skin Get Dry in Winter?
Cold, dry air pulls moisture from the skin.
Hot water strips away the skin’s natural oils.
Heaters dry out indoor air.
People drink less water in cold weather.
What Is Kumkumadi Face Oil?
Kumkumadi face oil is a traditional Ayurvedic face oil made with saffron and other herbs. It is traditionally used to support even-toned, glowing skin. As a herbal face oil, it works well in a night-time routine, and a few drops are enough for the whole face.
Panch Gavya Kumkumadi Face Oil is a ready-to-use option you can add to your winter routine. You can also browse more herbal skin care products at Davaindia.
Rosemary Essential Oil for Skin
Rosemary essential oil is a fragrant herbal oil. It is very concentrated, so never apply it directly. Mix 1-2 drops with a carrier oil first, and keep it away from your eyes. If you are pregnant or have a skin condition, check with your doctor before using it.
If you prefer a ready-to-use option for your scalp and hair, try Khadi Rosemary Hair Oil 200ml, made with rosemary oil, amla and bhringraj.
