What Is a Serum and How Is It Different from Face Creams and Oils?
Many people wonder how serums fit into their skincare routine. Here’s how they differ from creams and oils:
Face serums are lightweight, fast-absorbing formulas with a high concentration of active ingredients. Formulated for specific concerns (brightening, hydration, anti-ageing), the unique texture penetrate deeper into the skin for targeted treatment.
Specifically designed for the area most exposure to the sun and other environmental factors, face creams are emulsions (either water or oil-based) and have a thicker consistency than serums. They are designed to moisturise and seal hydration and form a protective barrier over the skin.
Face oils are one of the most potent forms of experiencing Ayurvedic beauty. Rich in nourishing botanical extracts, ideal for locking in moisture and softening the skin. Best suited for dry or mature skin types.
For best results, start with a cleansed, damp face and apply Kumkumadi Serum, followed by a face cream (Kumkumadi Soft Cream or Kumkumadi Night Balm). For night use, apply Kumkumadi Facial Oil to revitalise and repair the skin as you sleep.
The skin around our eyes is the most delicate and thinnest on the face, making it more prone to signs of fatigue, aging, and environmental stress. Constant exposure to digital screens, lack of sleep, and lifestyle factors contribute to dark circles and puffiness.
A dedicated eye care product is essential to address these concerns effectively. While many rely on heavy creams that may not fully absorb into the skin, a lightweight yet potent eye serum can provide deep nourishment and visible results. This is where Kama Ayurveda’s Kumkumadi Youth-Revitalising Eye Contour Serum steps in as an Ayurvedic solution designed to restore radiance and youthfulness to the eye area.
Understanding the Causes of Dark Circles in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, dark circles are often linked to an aggravated Vata imbalance, which can result from several lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep patterns, lack of adequate rest, and poor dietary habits. Skipping meals or eating at inconsistent times can further disrupt the body's natural balance, leading to increased stress and fatigue.
Vata Imbalance and Dark Circles
An imbalance in Vata dosha can contribute to dehydration, making the under-eye area appear dull and sunken. Consuming foods that are cold, dry, or overly processed can further disrupt Vata, leading to additional symptoms like anxiety, restlessness, constipation, bloating, and overall skin dryness.
Pitta Imbalance and Dark Circles
On the other hand, an imbalance in Pitta dosha can also contribute to dark circles, but for different reasons. Pitta imbalance often manifests as increased heat in the body, leading to symptoms such as hot flushes, a burning sensation, excessive thirst, and heightened irritability. A diet rich in oily, salty, and spicy foods, combined with high-stress levels, can aggravate Pitta, causing inflammation and under-eye discolouration.
How Lack of Sleep and Blue Light Exposure Affect Dark Circles
Apart from natural aging, lifestyle factors play a major role in the formation of dark circles and under-eye fatigue. One of the biggest culprits today is blue light exposure from digital screens. Prolonged screen time can disrupt the skin’s natural repair cycle, leading to pigmentation and dullness around the eyes.
Similarly, lack of sleep weakens blood circulation, causing blood vessels to appear more prominent under the delicate under-eye skin. To prevent this, ensure you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep and use an eye serum like Kumkumadi Youth-Revitalising Eye Contour Serum to restore brightness and hydration.
Unique Features of Kumkumadi Eye Serum
Crafted with 98% natural-origin ingredients, this luxurious eye serum blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern skincare innovations. The formula is enriched with Kumkumadi oil, Polyglutamic acid, and Arjuna extract, known for their ability to rejuvenate and brighten the under-eye area.
Unlike traditional eye creams, this serum features:
A lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that penetrates deeply without feeling greasy.
Illuminating mineral particles that provide an instant brightening effect.
Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested formulation, ensuring safety for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
Sustainable packaging, housed in a 100% recyclable glass bottle with an outer box made from recycled paper.
How to Use Kumkumadi Eye Serum
For best results, use this serum as part of your daily skincare routine:
Cleanse: Gently wash your face to remove impurities.
Apply: Take a small amount of the serum and dab it lightly under the eyes using your ring finger.
Massage: Gently tap in a circular motion until fully absorbed.
Follow Up: Pair with Kama Ayurveda’s Kumkumadi Face Serum for an all-over glow.
For optimal results, apply twice daily, morning and night.
The delicate skin around your eyes is one of the first areas to show signs of stress, fatigue, and ageing. Due to our genetic makeup, most Indians start seeing pigmentation or dark circles in their twenties which then develops into crow’s feet, puffiness and wrinkles. Adding an eye cream to your skincare routine is essential to maintain youthful, refreshed eyes.
Infused with Ayurvedic Botanicals: Amarrupa Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream
Infused with potent Ayurvedic ingredients like Gotu Kola (firms skin) and Carrot Seed Extract and bioactives like Apioskin®( a plumping active that mimics Hyaluronic Acid), the new velvety Amarrupa Eye Cream offers a targeted solution to rejuvenate the under-eye area.
This smooth, velvety cream provides an instant smoothing effect, visibly reducing wrinkles and firming the skin, leaving your eye contour looking rejuvenated. Clinically tested for efficacy, it’s proven to firm skin and reduce wrinkles after 8 weeks of usage. Perfect for both morning and night, the cream can be used regularly or as an overnight mask for an intense plumping effect.
The Unique Benefits of Amarrupa Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream
Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines Gotu Kola, a key ingredient in Amarrupa Eye Cream, stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth out fine lines and crow’s feet. Its anti-inflammatory properties also ensure that the sensitive under-eye area remains calm and nourished.
Brightens Dark Circles Carrot Seed Extract, known for its brightening properties, works to reduce the appearance of dark circles. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, it helps even out skin tone and revitalizes the delicate skin around the eyes.
De-Puffs and Firms With its lightweight yet deeply hydrating formula, the cream soothes puffiness and improves skin elasticity. Regular use helps firm the under-eye area, giving you a refreshed and youthful look.
Hydrates Without Greasiness The cream’s hydrating properties ensure that the skin stays supple without feeling heavy or greasy—perfect for all skin types.
How to Use Amarrupa Eye Cream for Best Results
Cleanse Gently: Start with a mild cleanser to remove dirt and impurities from the under-eye area.
Take a Small Amount: Use your ring finger to scoop a pea-sized amount of Amarrupa Eye Cream.
Apply with Care: Dab the cream lightly under your eyes and on your eyelids. Avoid tugging or pulling the skin.
Massage Gently: Use light tapping motions with your finger to help the cream absorb fully. You can also use our Kansa wand to indulge in a 2 minute massage for the eye contour area.
For optimal results, use the cream twice daily—morning and evening.
5 Tips for Bright and Rejuvenated Eyes
To complement the benefits of Amarrupa Eye Cream, adopt these lifestyle habits:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep to reduce dark circles and puffiness.
Protect from Sun Damage: Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen to prevent premature ageing around the eyes.
Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes: Constant rubbing can cause irritation and worsen wrinkles.
Eat a Balanced Diet: Include antioxidant-rich foods like berries, spinach, and nuts for healthier skin.
The holistic principles of Ayurveda—incorporating lifestyle practices, traditional remedies, and innovative tools—have long been recognized for their positive impact on hair health. In this guide, we explore Ayurveda's ancient approach to nurturing hair, and share practical tips to enhance its strength, shine, and vitality.
Ayurvedic Insights on Hair Health
An Ayurvedic Approach to Healthier Hair
Ayurveda has always treated hair as more than an accessory of beauty. It is seen as a reflection of inner health, balance, and vitality. In India, where the tradition of Ayurvedic haircare runs deep, practices like oiling, mindful nutrition, and stress management are not trends—they are rituals that have been followed for centuries. Today, with growing interest in natural beauty in India, these ancient insights feel more relevant than ever.
According to Dr. Vijay Murthy, Global Scientific Expert at Kama Ayurveda, hair, teeth, and nails are considered by-products of bone tissue in Ayurveda. For hair to remain healthy, the body’s digestion, absorption, agni or digestive fire, and detoxification must all function smoothly. Since bones are the last tissues to form, it is vital that nutrients reach them deeply. Ayurveda also views hair as a visible extension of the bones, which means that your scalp and strands reflect the state of your inner strength. In other words, if you want to understand a person’s wellbeing, look at the health of their hair.
This philosophy makes lifestyle and nutrition central to hair vitality. Stress, which disturbs the nervous system and doshas, is one of the biggest contributors to hair fall, thinning, premature greying, and loss of shine. Practices like yoga, meditation, and pranayama breathing calm the mind and protect the body from stress-induced imbalances that weaken hair over time. Nutrition is equally important. Ayurveda recommends foods that balance Pitta, such as leafy greens, citrus fruits, berries, and okra, while fruits like melons hydrate and nourish deeper tissues. Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is especially celebrated as a hair superfood that supports growth, strengthens roots, and restores shine whether consumed or applied in treatments.
Topical care complements this inner balance. The scalp is highly receptive to nutrients, which is why Ayurveda has long emphasized the ritual of oiling. Regular use of oils infused with potent herbs strengthens roots, calms the scalp, and restores natural shine. Kama Ayurveda’s Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, rooted in the traditional Bringadi ritual, brings together Bhringaraj, Indigo, and Balloon Vine to deeply nourish the scalp. Clinically proven to boost scalp nourishment by fifty percent instantly and improve strength by twenty percent, it is designed to tackle common concerns like hair fall, dandruff, dryness, and premature greying. Bhringaraj, often called the King of Hair, offers powerful antimicrobial and antifungal benefits, making it one of Ayurveda’s most effective herbs for restoring scalp balance and promoting hair growth.
Ayurveda also values tools and touch as part of haircare. The Kansa Scalp Massage Brush, a modern adaptation of an ancient practice, enhances circulation, improves absorption of oils, and relieves tension. Made with a copper-tin dome, it not only benefits scalp health but also offers a calming, grounding effect, turning routine haircare into a mindful ritual.
When combined, these practices create a complete Ayurvedic hair ritual that nurtures scalp health, strengthens roots, and transforms the quality of hair. Weekly oil massages, gentle cleansing with natural shampoos, deep conditioning, and protective serums together ensure that the scalp remains balanced and the hair remains strong and glossy. Supported by balanced nutrition and stress-relieving practices, the results are visible inside and out.
In a world filled with chemical-laden products and quick fixes, Ayurveda stands apart. It addresses not just the symptoms of hair concerns but the root causes, offering long-term solutions that are both effective and holistic. With the Bringaras range, Kama Ayurveda brings this timeless wisdom into a modern format—clinically tested, plant-based, and designed for the realities of Indian hair and lifestyle.
Healthy hair is not built overnight. It comes from consistent care, balance, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. Ayurveda teaches us that beauty begins from within, and by following these principles, you not only strengthen your hair but also restore harmony to the mind and body.
Dr. Vijay Murthy, Global Scientific Expert at Kama Ayurveda, explains that hair, along with teeth and nails, is considered a by-product of bone tissue in Ayurveda. “For healthy hair, it is essential that our digestion, absorption, agni (digestive fire), and detoxification processes are functioning optimally,” he notes. “Bones are among the last tissues to develop, so ensuring that nutrients reach these deeper layers is key to hair health."
From a Western biological standpoint, hair is classified as dead tissue, but in Ayurveda, it’s viewed as a visible extension of the bones. As Dr. Murthy says, “If you want to know the state of someone’s bones, look at their hair.”
Ayurveda’s Approach to Lifestyle and Nutrition
Incorporating Ayurvedic practices into your daily routine can improve your hair’s appearance by balancing the body’s internal systems. Hair health is closely linked to the nervous system since bone tissue is particularly sensitive to stress. Dr. Murthy recommends practices like yogic breathing, regular exercise, and meditation to promote healthy hair.
A nutritious, balanced diet is crucial for maintaining vibrant hair, with particular focus on foods that pacify Pitta dosha. Dr. Murthy suggests prioritizing alkalizing foods—those that turn alkaline after digestion. Citrus fruits, berries, okra, and leafy greens are particularly beneficial. Melons, rich in water and minerals, are easy to digest and nourish deeper tissues. Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is also considered a potent superfood for hair, whether consumed fresh or taken as a supplement.
Ayurvedic Hair Care Products & Tools
Topical treatments play an important role in enhancing hair health, as the scalp’s superficial tissues, much like skin, are highly receptive to nutrients.
It’s essential to avoid over-washing your hair or using products laden with harsh chemicals. Instead, embrace the time-honored tradition of hair oiling. Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oilcan invigorate the scalp, improving circulation and delivering vital nutrients to hair follicles. This promotes healthy growth, fights premature greying, and addresses issues like dandruff and split ends. “The star ingredient, Bhringraj, offers powerful antimicrobial and antifungal benefits, crucial for maintaining scalp and hair health,” Dr. Murthy shares.
Additionally, Ayurveda recommends regular hair brushing to stimulate blood flow at the roots. The use of the innovative Kansa Brush takes this practice to the next level. This unique brush, with bristles centered around a kansa metal dome, serves as a self-massage tool that helps detoxify the scalp and enhances oxygen absorption throughout the body.
Rooted in Ayurveda, hair oiling has been at the heart of Indian beauty rituals for centuries. For generations, Indian women and men have trusted this practice to nurture strong, glossy hair and a healthy scalp. Today, as the global wellness movement embraces traditional self-care, this ancient ritual is finding its way back into the spotlight—especially in the world of natural haircare in India.
Why Hair Oiling is Essential for Hair and Scalp Health
When you infuse your scalp with the natural potency of Ayurvedic oils, the benefits go far beyond shine. Regular hair oiling stimulates blood circulation, strengthens hair follicles, and delivers vital nutrients directly to the roots. This helps reduce hair fall, slows down premature greying, prevents dandruff, and minimizes split ends—without the harshness of chemical-heavy products.
Beyond beauty, the ritual itself is deeply restorative. The act of massaging oil into the scalp eases tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, relieving headaches, reducing stress, and even promoting better sleep. Ayurveda teaches us that the scalp holds vital marma points (energy centers), making oiling both therapeutic and rejuvenating.
The Tradition of Sneha: Oil as Love
In India, hair oiling is more than just self-care—it is a ritual of love passed down through families. The Sanskrit word sneha translates to both “oil” and “love,” reflecting the emotional connection behind this practice. From a grandmother massaging oil into her granddaughter’s hair to parents caring for their children, this timeless act is as much about bonding as it is about beauty.
Bringaras: Ayurveda’s Vital Strength for Hair
At Kama Ayurveda, Bringaras is our Ayurvedic expert for complete scalp and hair health, inspired by the traditional Bringadi oiling ritual.
Powered by a blend of False Daisy (Bhringaraj) to strengthen hair, Indigo to soothe the scalp, and Balloon Vine to protect and balance, theBringaras range works from root to tip to restore vitality.
Every formula is plant-based, clinically tested, and designed to address the most common concerns in India today—hair fall, dullness, scalp irritation, dandruff, and damage.

Spotlight on Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil
Balance & Invigorate
Our hero formula, the Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, is a nourishing Ayurvedic blend of Bhringaraj, Indigo, and Balloon Vine. It balances the scalp, strengthens the roots, and leaves hair glossy and resilient. Clinically proven results show:
+50% instant boost in scalp nourishment
+20% improvement in scalp strength
This makes it one of the most effective Ayurvedic hair oils in India for those struggling with hair thinning, breakage, or scalp discomfort.
How to Make Hair Oiling Work Harder for You
To truly unlock the power of Ayurvedic haircare, consistency and method matter. Here’s the ideal ritual:
Warm the oil slightly between your palms before applying.
Start at the crown, massaging the scalp in gentle circular motions with your fingertips to boost circulation.
Spread the oil evenly from scalp to ends, using light pressure for maximum absorption.
Leave it on for at least 20 minutes—or overnight for deeper nourishment (cover your pillow).
Rinse by applying shampoo directly to oiled hair before adding water, then wash thoroughly. Pair with Bringaras Balancing Shampoofor best results.
Why Bringaras is the Future of Haircare in India
As more people move toward natural, chemical-free beauty solutions, Ayurveda offers a proven path to healthy, resilient hair. Bringaras is not just another oil—it’s a complete Ayurvedic haircare ritual that restores balance, strength, and shine from scalp to strand.
By reviving this timeless Indian tradition with clinically tested, plant-powered formulas, Kama Ayurveda’s Bringaras range helps you care for your hair the way it was always meant to be—naturally, effectively, and with love.
Luxury haircare in India is undergoing a quiet revolution, one that looks back to ancient wisdom to create tools for modern beauty rituals. At the heart of this shift is theKansa Brush, Kama Ayurveda’s latest innovation, which brings together centuries of Ayurvedic healing practices with the needs of today’s wellness-conscious consumer.
Unlike ordinary scalp brushes, the Kansa Brush is rooted in Ayurveda’s therapeutic tradition of metals. Its bristles are arranged around a dome made of kansa, a sacred alloy of copper and tin revered for its detoxifying and healing properties. In Ayurveda, metals aren’t passive—they are active conductors of energy. The Kansa dome helps stimulate circulation, awaken hair follicles, and gently detoxify the scalp, making it a powerful tool for both beauty and balance.
Dr. Vijay Murthy, Global Scientific Expert at Kama Ayurveda, explains: “From an Ayurvedic perspective, the scalp is where prana—or life force—enters our system. Kansa metal acts as a conductor, subtly activating pranic energy, which enhances oxygen absorption and improves cellular oxygenation.” This means that every stroke of the brush does more than improve scalp comfort—it boosts vitality at a cellular level.
Regular use of the Kansa Brush supports healthier, fuller-looking hair by improving blood flow to the roots and ensuring nutrients reach the follicles. But the benefits go beyond visible beauty. The scalp is home to several vital marma points, and massaging them with the Kansa Brush has a calming, reflexology-like effect. It helps reduce stress, rebalance energy systems, and release the tension that so often contributes to hair fall, premature greying, and thinning. In a time when stress is one of the leading culprits behind hair damage, this ritual becomes a form of self-care as much as haircare.
When paired with Kama Ayurveda’s Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, the Kansa Brush transforms the traditional oiling ritual into a luxury haircare experience. The brush distributes oil evenly across the scalp and strands while enhancing absorption, ensuring that the benefits of Bhringaraj, Indigo, and Balloon Vine reach deep into the roots. Used regularly, the combination restores balance, strengthens hair, and promotes long-term scalp health.
Beyond oiling, the Kansa Brush can also be used on dry hair as a grounding ritual at the end of a long day, helping ease mental fatigue and quiet the mind. It offers the kind of holistic benefit that Ayurveda has always emphasized—beauty and wellness working together as one.
With its unique composition of sacred metal, antimicrobial properties, and therapeutic value, the Kansa Brush is more than a tool—it’s a ritual of renewal. As Ayurveda continues to shape the future of luxury beauty and wellness in India, the Kansa Brush stands out as an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and care for yourself in a way that feels both timeless and deeply modern.
3 Ways to Use the Kansa Brush
Hair-Oiling Boost After applying Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, use the Kansa Brushto distribute the oil evenly from your roots to the ends. Massage the scalp in circular motions for about 5 minutes to promote blood flow to the hair follicles and enhance the oil’s effectiveness.
Scalp Exfoliation Use the Kansa Brush as a gentle exfoliator to detox your scalp by removing product buildup and lifting impurities.
Mind Relaxation Whenever needed, gently massage your dry scalp with the Kansa Brush to relieve tension and calm the mind.
Some herbs quietly exist in the background of Ayurveda. Others, like Bhringaraj (False Daisy), have earned their crown. Revered for centuries as the “King of Hair”, this humble green thrives in India’s wetlands and has been celebrated in Ayurvedic texts for its power to strengthen roots, delay greying, and revive thinning strands. Today, it remains one of the most trusted ingredients in natural haircare in India, validated not only by tradition but also by modern science.
The 'King of Hair'
In Sanskrit, Bhringaraj is known as Kesharaj, which literally translates to “ruler of hair.” The name isn’t poetic—it’s earned. This herb is renowned for its ability to deeply nourish the scalp, strengthen follicles, and restore shine.
Modern life, however, constantly challenges scalp health. Stress, pollution, and imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas often lead to premature greying, breakage, and excessive hair fall. This is where Bhringaraj’s natural richness—its phytonutrients, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds—comes into play. It calms an irritated scalp, improves blood circulation, prevents dandruff, and helps restore resilience to hair that feels tired and stressed.
A Holistic Approach to Hair and Wellness
Ayurvedic medicine often emphasizes the power of combining different herbs for maximum effect. At Kama Ayurveda, we blend Bhringaraj with other potent herbs such as Balloon Vine and Indigo, which are rich in antioxidants. This powerful combination is the key ingredient in our signature Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, as well as the Bringaras Shampoo & Conditioner. Regular use of hair oiling not only supports hair health but also improves blood circulation to the scalp, alleviating tension throughout the body.
One of the strengths of Ayurveda is the philosophy of synergy where herbs work better together. At Kama Ayurveda, Bhringaraj is combined with Indigo (to soothe the scalp) and Balloon Vine (to balance and protect). Together, these form the backbone of our Bringaras range—a complete ritual of Ayurvedic hair oils, shampoos, conditioners, serums, and masks crafted to support hair growth, scalp balance, and long-term strength.
Regular use of Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil—with Bhringaraj at its core—helps improve scalp circulation, strengthens roots, and brings visible shine. It’s a ritual that doesn’t just transform hair—it calms the mind, too.
More Than Just Beauty: A Natural Healer
Bhringaraj is often called an anti-aging herb due to its benefits for hair, skin, and internal organs. It is a rich source of magnesium, which helps soothe the nervous system, reduce muscle tension, ease headaches, and promote deeper, more restful sleep.
When taken as a supplement, Bhringaraj has additional health benefits. It aids in liver detoxification, improves vision due to its high beta-carotene content, and fights harmful microbes and parasites. It’s also thought to help purify the blood and assist in the breakdown of toxins.
A Modern Ritual with Ancient Roots
To experience Bhringaraj the way it was meant to be, turn your haircare routine into a ritual. Warm a few drops of Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil in your palms, massage it slowly into the scalp, and let the herb do its work. The act itself is as restorative as the oil—releasing tension, grounding your thoughts, and nourishing your roots all at once.
Bhringaraj has stood the test of time not just because it works, but because it brings balance to scalp, hair, and spirit. In an age where Ayurvedic beauty in India is regaining center stage, Bhringaraj proves why some rituals should never be forgotten.
At Kama Ayurveda, we’ve reimagined this legendary herb in the Bringaras collection—a ritual for stronger roots, glossier strands, and a scalp that feels nourished, balanced, and alive.
The tradition of using Ayurvedic face masks {lepam} dates back thousands of years and is deeply rooted in India's whole-body, holistic system of medicine.

Lepams, deeply nourishing herbal pastes, were once meticulously crafted in kitchens and temple courtyards, where they were applied to soothe inflammation, brighten dull skin, and fade blemishes with the healing power of nature. Kashayams, on the other hand, were more than just herb-based water decoctions, used both internally and externally for holistic healing. Inspired by these revered traditions, the Vanasara collection blends ancient knowledge with modern innovation.

You can shop any of these masks basis your skin type or even useall 3 face masks in areas of targetted concerns such as dryness, oiliness and brightening.
Understanding the root cause of skin dryness can often be challenging. External factors like changes in weather, arid climates while lifestyle habits such as hot showers, and using harsh products can all contribute to dry skin. One thing is certain—no one enjoys the itchy, tight, and uncomfortable sensation that accompanies dry skin.
When left untreated, dry skin (referred to as the Vata skin type in Ayurveda) can escalate into more severe issues, such as cracking or even infections.
The good news is that dry skin isn’t always a serious concern and can often be remedied naturally. Incorporating home remedies into your routine is an effective way to restore hydration and comfort to your skin.
Why Choose Home Remedies For Dry Skin?
Dry skin is particularly prone to irritation. While numerous over-the-counter products claim to address this issue, they often fall short. Many contain chemicals that may leave your skin feeling even drier, while others include preservatives or artificial fragrances that can aggravate sensitive skin.
Home remedies and natural solutions, on the other hand, are free from such irritants. They provide a pure, chemical-free way to nourish and soothe your skin. When it comes to skincare, simplicity is key—and nature often provides the best answers.
What Causes Dry Skin and How Home Remedies Help?
Before we talk about treating dry skin, it’s important to understand what causes dry skin conditions. Did you know that your skin has the natural ability to produce oil, also known as sebum? This natural oil of your skin forms a protective barrier that protects the skin from damage and locks in the moisture content. However, certain factors like dry climate, aging, and even excessive washing of face can strip your skin of this natural protective layer. As a result, your skin loses its ability to lock in water and moisture. This leads to dry skin.
Home remedies such as treating your skin with natural oils are helpful as they restore the skin’s protective moisture barrier.
12 Top Home Remedies For Dry Skin
Having established that home remedies are one of the most effective (not to mention, also one of the most affordable) ways to take care of dry skin concerns, let’s look at some of the top remedies for dry skin.
1. Nourish Your Skin With Coconut Oil
Did you know that one of the most important Ayurvedic treatments for dry skin is Abhyanga? Abhyanga is simply a practice of self-massage with natural oils. For this, Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Sesame oil, and Castor oil are considered excellent massage oils.
Among them, the most effective oil for dry skin is Organic Coconut Oil. Research has found that Coconut Oil has emollient properties. An emollient is a substance that is able to create a smooth surface by filling in the gaps in the skin cells. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids (lauric acid) which help hydrate the skin and improve its lipid content.
The best thing about using coconut oil for dry skin is that you need not be worried about any side effects. As long as you are using 100% pure Coconut Oil, you can use it daily and even on sensitive skin.
When it comes to mukhabhyanga or face massage, try Kama Ayurveda’s Urjasara Facial Oil. Enriched with 35 Ayurvedic botanicals, including brightening Liquorice Oleoactive®, it’s enriched with the best of plant-based actives to replenish and protect skin. Its rich texture absorbs effortlessly, delivering moisture and balance while soothing stressed skin, leaving it nourished and resilient.

With regular use, this facial oil enhances your complexion’s overall health and resilience, making it an essential part of your daily skincare ritual for a smoother, more glowing appearance.
Free from controversial ingredients and artificial fragrance, Urjasara Facial Oil is dermatologically tested for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
3. Give Your Skin An Oatmeal Bath
Lately, a lot of people have started including oatmeal in their diet as a healthy breakfast option. But did you know that oatmeal can be applied to your skin to get immense benefits?
Oatmeal is prepared simply by adding water to ground oats. The prepared mixture has special colloidal properties due to which it binds to the skin and works as a protective barrier to lock in the moisture content. Therefore, giving your skin an oatmeal bath is an effective remedy for dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
The benefits of oatmeal for dry skin are immense.
Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also help in healing skin dryness and prevent infections. Oats are one of the most gentle and soothing natural ingredients that you can treat your skin with. It’s naturally hydrating for the skin. However, it’s important that you follow your oatmeal bath with moisturisation to lock in the hydration.
One way to give your skin all the benefits of oatmeal is to use Ubtan, which is an Ayurvedic soap-free skin cleanser. It’s 100% natural and contains Oatmeal as one of the key ingredients along with other natural ingredients such as Green Gram, Almonds, Neem, Turmeric and Fennel. Due to its all-natural composition, it’s gentle on the skin and doesn’t cause any dryness.
4. Make moisturisation a part of your daily routine
You might be well aware that Cleanse, Tone and Moisturize is the recommended 3-step skin care regimen for all. However, lack of time often makes us ignore these basics of skin care. As a result, our skin suffers.
One of the ways to prevent and cure skin dryness is to swear by your daily moisturisation regimen. In fact, just moisturising your skin once a day isn’t enough. You get best results when you moisturize twice - once in the morning and once during the night.
Of course, the moisturisers that you choose for your skin matter just as much. We recommend that you use natural moisturisers as they are better suited for dry skin. During winters, when your skin is dry, you will benefit from using rich body butters to nourish your skin. Here are our top recommendations for natural daily moisturisation.
5. Treat your skin with home-made natural face masks
When you choose the right ingredients, your face mask can provide your skin with a rich dose of moisturisation and nourishment. For dry skin, effective natural face masks can be prepared by using hydrating constituents such as Avocadoes, Honey and Oatmeal and Milk. Here are a few home-made masks for you to try.
Avocado Face Mask - Puree half an avocado and mix it with one teaspoon of olive oil to prepare a paste. If your skin is very dry, you can also add a tablespoon of honey to make your skin even more nourishing. Apply the mask to your face and leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it off.
Oatmeal Honey Mask - Honey has moisturizing, healing and anti-inflammatory properties and it also effective remedy for dry skin. Mix two tablespoon of oats with one table spoon of honey. Leave this mask on for 15 to 20 minutes to let it work as a soothing, hydrating mask.
Milk Mask - Milk is an excellent remedy for dry and flaky skin. It replenishes the lost oils in the skin and make it smoother and more moisturised. The healthy fats in the skin leave the skin naturally moisturised. Dip a cotton ball in milk and dab all over the face. Allow it to stand for 20 minutes and wash with cold water. Alternatively, you can mix honey and milk and apply the mixture as face mask on your skin for even better nourishment.
5. Massage Your Skin With Aloe Vera
Did you know that Alove Vera gel has skin healing properties? The answer to your dry skin woes is this wonderful plant that might be growing in your garden.
Popular as a remedy for sun burn, Aloe Vera gel is also effective in treating skin dryness. The gel contains mucopolysaccharides, which help lock moisture into the skin. It’s used to get relief from redness and skin irritation associated with skin dryness. The best part is that you can easily apply it on your skin. All you need to do is scoop out the Aloe Vera gel from the leaf and massage it into your skin.
6. Include Anti-Oxidants and Omega -3 In Your Diet
What you eat reflects on your skin and hair. One of the best ways to take care of skin dryness is to eat food items that are rich in anti-oxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids.
The top recommendations for including anti-oxidants in your diet are blueberries, tomatoes, carrots, beans, peas, and lentils. For healthy fats, you can include avocados, walnuts and sunflower seeds in your diet.
7. Adjust Your Bath Temperature
Your showering habits play a huge role in determining your skin health. Afterall, that’s one thing most of us do every single day. Are you someone who enjoys hot water showers? Then, you’ll be disappointed to know that they are the reason behind your dry skin woes.
It’s strongly recommended to avoid hot showers and limit bath time to 10 minutes. Also, check what soap you are using for taking a shower. Some soaps dry out the skin excessively. Switch to natural soaps or natural body cleansers to maintain your skin’s moisture content. You can even add a suitable essential oil to your bath to treat dry skin.
Now, here’s the tip that’s the easiest to follow but also the hardest simply because we forget. Your water intake can make or break your skin, literally. Boost your water intake to keep your body hydrated and to moisturize your skin from the inside out.
9. Wear Sunscreen Regularly
If you think the arid winters are the only culprit behind dry skin conditions, you are wrong. Harsh sunlight during the summers damage your skin’s protective barrier and also lead to skin dryness. The solution? Never step out in the sun (be it during winters or summers), without adequate sun protection.
We recommend Natural Sun Protection for dry skin. It is a non-chemical daily-use sunscreen that provides full-spectrum sun protection and a boost of hydration to keep skin healthy and even-toned.
If you’ve an air conditioning system, it could lead to skin dryness. Most heating systems suck the moisture from the air. However, you can use a humidifier and set it at about 60 percent to offset this effect. Along with this, wearing gloves during wintertime will particularly help you combat skin dryness in your hands.
With that, we conclude our list of top home remedies for dry skin. While these remedies will help you nourish dry skin, it’s important that you follow healthy skin care practices in the long term. In case you do not get relief from home remedies, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist.
Aging gracefully is something we all aspire to have. While there’s no way to arrest ageing, you can reduce the appearance signs of ageing, maintain a good lifestyle and always keep others guessing about your age. While most of us Indians see fine lines and wrinkles, only in our forties, other signs of ageing such as sun damage, pigmentation and dark spots start as early as our twenties. Ayurveda has ancient, time-tested recipes and formulations that can help prevent signs of ageing in the form of creams. Here are some of the best anti-aging creams to add to your daily skincare ritual for healthy, youthful skin.
Before we talk about the best anti-aging creams in India, let us learn everything we need to know about anti-aging creams.
What Is An Anti-Aging Cream, And What Are Its Benefits?
Simply put, an anti-aging cream is commonly referred to cream rich in anti-ageing ingredients ranging for antioxidants that help maintain youthful, bright and firm skin. These creams are specially designed to prevent early signs of aging like blemishes, wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots. With advanced science and carefully selected ingredients, they promote a smoother, tighter complexion, leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Benefits Of Using An Anti-Aging Cream Regularly
Invented in the early 2000s, anti-aging creams take time to bring visible results. Slow results might be the reason why some people speculate about its effectiveness. However, once you know its excellent benefits, you will want to buy one for yourself.
Tightens Skin
The skin loosening or skin laxity after age 35 is due to the reduction of collagen levels, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. Anti-aging creams help increase collagen production to keep skin firm and tight.
Slows Down The Signs Of Aging
Besides skin laxity, our skin is also prone to fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and blemishes. All such signs of aging can be treated using an anti-aging cream.
Brightens The Skin
Your skin may begin to lose its natural glow as you age. Fortunately, you can reduce skin dullness with an anti-aging cream. A good quality anti-aging cream helps brighten the skin while reducing pigmentation and dark spots.
Boosts Confidence
When your skin is completely rejuvenated, you will be filled with a new level of confidence. Nightly skin care ritual with an anti-ageing cream is also a great way to make time for self care.
Saves Money In Long Run
Compared to those several skin surgeries to reduce the signs of aging, using an anti-aging cream is very cost-effective and sustainable. Not just saving money, an anti-aging cream also has fewer side effects when compared to laser surgeries.
Things To Consider Before Buying An Anti-Aging Cream
Dealing with aging and its signs can be difficult, but you can tackle them with an anti-aging cream. However, this can only be possible when using a qualitative and harmless product.
Since millions of fictitious and futile anti-aging creams are available on the market, it can be very confusing to pick the best one. But don't worry, with the following buying guide, you can select the best one within minutes.
Choose The Anti-Aging Cream That Suits Your Skin Type
Choosing the product that best suits your skin type ensures you are not harming your skin any further. For example, if you are having dry skin, go for a moisturizing anti-aging product and if you are having oily skin, opt for a mattifying product.
If you have sensitive skin, anti-aging cream can cause redness or irritation. In addition, with acne-prone skin types, the problem could get aggravated. Therefore, to be safe, ensure the cream you use is suitable for all skin types and is free from harmful chemicals.
Consider What Goes Into The Cream
Look for ingredients like Saffron, Arjuna Extracts, Centella Asiatica, Aloe Vera, Indian Madder, Turmeric, Green tea extracts, Almond oil, and Olive oil. Ingredients like these reduce oxidation, help tighten the skin, make it firm, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes without causing side effects in the long run. The cream should also include nourishing ingredients to retain the moisture in the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines.
Check The Consistency Of The Cream
An anti-aging cream shouldn't be heavy on the skin. Instead, it should have a lightweight consistency to blend into the skin quickly and easily. Moreover, if the cream has a light consistency, it supports massaging your skin without feeling any greasiness or oiliness.
SPF Protection Is A Plus
One of the primary causes of fine lines and wrinkles is the harmful UV rays from the skin. If your anti-aging cream is infused with SPF, it helps protect your skin from sun damage and keeps it wrinkle-free. If your cream doesn't have SPF, make sure you use sunscreen regularly and frequently.
Read Online Reviews
The right way to check the authenticity of any skincare product is by checking its online reviews. Read all the reviews (both bad and good) to make you understand the in and out of the product. If your product has good reviews, then go for it. As if it works for others, there are high chances that the product might work for your skin as well.

The anti-aging skincare is all about the right product and technique. Since we already know the best products to serve the job, let's talk about how to apply them correctly. Even the highest quality anti-aging cream might not serve the purpose if you don't use it correctly. Scroll down to a small guide on how to get the maximum benefits out of the anti-aging cream.
1. Mind Over The Amount
Since the anti-aging creams have a very potent formula, fewer amounts are always more with these products. If you apply more than enough, the results will not be different, but your skin will get dry and irritated. So, observe your skin needs and use the product accordingly. Massage till the cream is completely absorbed into the skin.
2. Incorporate A Sunscreen
In some cases, the potent formulations of the anti-aging creams might cause slight sensitivity in the skin. The anti-aging creams are bound to increase cell regeneration and exfoliation. Therefore, the fresh skin gets damaged quickly in the sun. Thus, the regular application of a broad-spectrum protection sunscreen is a must.
3. Be Patient
Anti-aging creams generally take 3 to 5 months to show a visible difference in wrinkles and blemishes. So, do not change the product after 6 to 8 weeks if you don't see the results. Being patient and maintaining regular usage is the key to youthful and radiant skin.
Few Tips To Slow Down The Aging Process
Along with using anti-aging skincare, you can slow down the signs of aging with the help of the following tips.
Following a proper skincare routine and never skipping the sunscreen will protect your skin from external damage and prevent wrinkles and fine lines from occurring.
Facial massages help tighten skin. You will find multiple tutorials online; try them.
Not only are alcohol and smoking habits harmful to your health, but they also make you look older. So, cut them down.
Always ensure you are maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. Include more Vitamin C foods to reduce the signs of aging.
To give your skin a natural glow, keep yourself hydrated.
Try to skip desserts once in a while, as excess sugar intake can lead to loss of collagen and elasticity.
Avoid too much screen time and try to get a good night's sleep.
Did you know silk pillowcases prevent the appearance of wrinkles? Try using them.
Release your stress by doing yoga, meditation or other favorite activities.
FAQs
1. When Should I Start Using An Anti-Aging Cream?
The ideal age for using an anti-aging cream is 21. However, more women are developing premature signs of aging nowadays due to multiple factors, including extreme pollution, excessive stress, poor food habits, bad lifestyle, hormonal imbalance, and so on. If these factors leave your skin feeling dry and dehydrated, you must start investing in an anti-aging cream even earlier.
2. How Long Does An Anti-Aging Cream Take To Show The Results?
The results entirely depend on several factors like the type of skin, the ingredients used in the product, the extent of damage that needs to be corrected, and so forth. Nonetheless, this is not an overnight incident. You need to be patient and keep using the cream regularly. However, many people start seeing visible results anywhere between four weeks to three months.
3. Is Retinol Effective For Anti-Aging?
Experts consider retinol as one of those few "magic" ingredients that can slow down the signs of aging. As a result, markets are flooded with retinol-induced products of varying strengths. However, one must be careful while using retinol for aging skin, as overuse can do more harm than good.

7. Does Stress Play A Role In Aging Of The Skin?
Yes, stress does play a role in skin aging. It makes your body release certain hormones that boost the speed of skin aging while decreasing the amount of collagen in the skin. This ultimately will result in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
If you often go to bed without taking off your makeup or giving your skin proper nourishment? If yes, then you might notice your skin looks tired and dry when you wake up. A good night skincare routine can change that, giving you fresh and glowing clear skin every day.
During the day, your skincare products work towards keeping your skin hydrated and protected from the sun and pollution. But at night, it's a different story. Nighttime products help fix and heal your skin while you sleep. This is also when anti-aging products do their best work.
Having a skincare routine before bed has lots of benefits. It not only makes your skin stronger for the next day, but it also helps your skin repair itself faster.
Let's dive into why it's so important to take care of your skin at night, and then go through our expert recommended 5-step skincare routine to nourish skin overnight.
Why Is the Night Skincare Routine Important?
A nighttime skincare routine is vital for several reasons. Throughout the day, your skin faces a barrage of challenges – exposure to dirt, oil, pollution, sun, and wind. These elements can accumulate on your skin, leading to clogged pores.
If you wear makeup, it adds another layer of buildup that can further block pores.
At night, your skin shifts into a different mode. It's a time for your skin to breathe, recuperate, and repair the damage it endured during the day. This is also when your skin is most active in generating new cells, which improves its texture and overall health. (1)
However, if your pores are clogged, your skin can't effectively undergo its natural repair and renewal process. This is where a nightly skincare routine comes into play.
A good nighttime regimen should include deep cleansing to remove the day's buildup, hydrating to maintain skin moisture, treating any specific skin conditions you may have, and aiding the skin's natural cell renewal process and a good face cream & face oil for rejuvenation & repair as you sleep.
The Ideal 5-step Night Skin Care Routine
A simple yet effective nighttime skincare routine consists of 5 steps. Once you start practicing and noticing the results, you would want to follow it regularly. We recommend that you follow it for at least a month for visible changes.
Step 1: Makeup Removal
The biggest struggle of wearing makeup might be getting rid of it at the end of an exhausting day. But sleeping with your makeup on is considered a big cardinal skincare sin.
Usually, a cleanser alone is not enough to remove the entire makeup. There will be days when your heavy matte lipstick or signature winged eyeliner won't come off even after rinsing five times and scrubbing vigorously. Therefore, you need a makeup-remover that not only removes all your makeup effortlessly but also will leave your skin smooth and hydrated.
Having said that, you will be surprised to know what a makeup remover can do. It can literally save you from various skin concerns, including breakouts, irritation, and premature aging.
To save your skin from the havoc your makeup can wreak overnight, it is ideal to have a solid makeup remover that will ensure removing all the impurities from your skin.
Step 2: Cleanse
After removing makeup, the next step in your nighttime skincare routine is cleansing. Cleansing is necessary to remove all the dirt, excess oil, and makeup residue sitting on your skin.
Numerous cleaners are available specially designed for different concerns and skin types. Choose the one suitable for your skin type and address your problems effectively.
Tip: Never use extreme temperatures of water to wash your face. This dries out your skin and makes it look dull and lifeless.
Our Recommendation : Kama Ayurveda's Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser
A gentle foaming herbal face cleanser with a rich blend of Ayurvedic ingredients to effectively cleanse and lift away makeup and impurities. Infused with uplifting essential oils.
Toning is a very crucial step in both day and night skincare routines. Toner helps rehydrate your skin after all the oils have been washed off the skin during cleansing. It also helps shrink pores and remove any dirt that may sometimes be left behind.
Toners are easy to use, and the ones that don't contain alcohol are best suitable for any skin type. Allow your skin to absorb it thoroughly before going on to the next step for better results.

FAQs On Night Skin Care Routine
What Should I Include In My Night Skincare Routine?
Apart from the makeup remover, cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer, you can also include eye creams and lip balms to get better results.
At What Time Should I Do A Night Skincare Routine?
Some experts suggest doing the nighttime skincare routine just before we go to bed. However, in this case, we may end up having more moisturizer on the pillow than on our faces. Our skin needs at least 20 minutes to properly absorb the products into it.
Also, we should remove makeup and cleanse our skin immediately after getting back home. Later, you can space out applying your toner, serum, and moisturizer in intervals between your dinner and chores.
This way, you will be able to do the complete night skincare routine and provide it with all the nourishment it deserves during the night.
What Is The Difference Between Day And Night Skincare Routine?
While daytime skincare helps protect your skin from environmental aggressors, your nighttime skincare should focus on letting your skin unwind, relax, and repair. As your skin is known to absorb nutrients better while you rest, nighttime is ideal for using rich and nourishing skincare products that might feel too heavy and greasy for the daytime routine.
Some active ingredients in the products are known to react with the UV rays coming from the sun during the day and increase the skin's photosensitivity. So it is always advisable to use active products only at night. This is another notable difference between the day and night skincare routines.
Does Extra Sleep Make Us Look Younger?
Sleep relaxes your body. When the body is at rest, the cell and tissue repairing process gets activated, and collagen is produced. Therefore, getting enough sleep can make your skin look younger.
How Much Sleep Is Considered As Beauty Sleep?
Sleep helps your body, mind, and skin remain healthy. As it is called these days, beauty sleep must be at least 7 to 8 hours long.

Kumkumadi Oil Review by Bellatory Beauty Blog
Kumkumadi Miraculous Beauty Fluid Ayurvedic Night Serum by Kama Ayurveda product has changed pre-existing notions about oils for face skin. One might think that using oil on your face could never be a solution. But once you use this product, it changes that thought process.
“The product absorbs quickly, and I could see a difference in the pigmentation of my face. I would definitely recommend trying this product out. The good part is that it comes in a 3 ml bottle. Yes, the fragrance is a little overwhelming, but once you see the benefits of this serum, the fragrance becomes a secondary issue. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 for its benefits and overall after effects.”

It definitely works to improve the appearance of dark spots and blemishes. But make sure that you use prescribed limits, as its highly concentrated Ayurvedic formulation could clog pores or even make them appear enlarged.”

Why Is Kumkumadi Oil So High In Price?
Kumkumadi Facial Oil has a high price tag that can be attributed to the exceptional quality of its ingredients and the complex process of creating it. One major reason for its cost is the use of Kashmiri saffron sourced from Pampore, which is known for being among the best saffron varieties available.
Kumkumadi’s potency is maximised with a unique two-fold concentration of saffron {Kumkum} following the traditional oil concoction method described in ancestral {vedas} texts. With noticeable improvement in skin’s youthful brightness, modern science reveals the miraculous benefits of{Kumkumadi}.
This Saffron is characterised by its deep color and strong aroma, and it contains potent compounds that offer significant benefits for the skin.
Kashmiri Saffron contains specific phytoactive molecules like crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-rejuvenating properties. These moleculesare highly concentrated with the purest and the reddest saffron from Pampore Kashmir and renews the skin at a cellular level.
The extraction process is meticulous and involves combining this Saffron with other rare and valuable ingredients, each chosen for its unique contribution to skin enhancement. This careful selection and combination of ingredients enhance the effectiveness of the oil.
The result is an oil that addresses various skin concerns and improves skin texture, thanks to the powerful combination of these potent compounds. Due to its reputation for delivering visible results and its association with luxurious skincare, Kumkumadi oil is priced higher to reflect its quality, effectiveness, and the craftsmanship involved in its creation.

Many factors can cause dry skin. From dosha domination to lifestyle habits such as indulging in hot showers to harsh winter weather and the natural decline of skin’s oils with age, the list of culprits is extensive. The good news? You don’t always need to consult a dermatologist to address dry skin. Often, the simplest solution lies in incorporating a natural moisturiser into your skincare routine. No matter your skin type—oily, dry, normal, or combination—using a moisturiser is an essential step to keep your skin hydrated, healthy, and balanced.
As per Ayurveda, dry skin type (also known as Vata skin), can be treated through adopting warming, moisturizing, and grounding practices. Dry skin requires daily nourishment and hydration.
How Does A Moisturizer Work?
Moisturizers attract moisture from the environment and retain it inside the skin to keep it soft and hydrated. They help in preventing loss of water from the topmost layer of the skin by stimulating ceramide production in the body.
Since the moisturizer gets deep into your skin, you need to be very particular while choosing the right one. There are endless recommendations for the best moisturizer out there in the market. But, we want you to choose a product that contains formulas containing the most indispensable types of ingredients which research proved to provide great results for all skin types. Take your pick from the following best moisturisers for dry skin and make sure they are the part of your daily skincare regimen. (1)
Plant Butters
Due to their occlusive and emollient properties, the basic function of plant butters is moisturization. They prevent moisture from evaporating by forming a protective layer on your skin. Protecting the top layer also helps in keeping irritants at bay and protecting your skin from cold winters.
Apart from moisturization, the essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants in plant butters deeply nourish your skin giving you smooth and soft skin. (2)
Types Of Plant Butters
There are various types of plant butters( Jojoba butter, Avocado butter, Macadamia nut butter, sal butter, Hemp butter, etc.) that can be used in all your skincare and haircare needs. But, below listed are the four most commonly used and easily available in skincare products.
Cocoa Butter
Extracted from cocoa bean pods, Cocoa butter is pale yellow in colour and contains Vitamin E, polyphenols (help fight free radicals). Its rich texture will leave your skin soft and moisturized. Cocoa Butter also helps fade stretch marks and scars. (3)

Organic oils or natural oils like olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter oil have been used in skin care and hair care for centuries for their various moisturizing, protective, and antibacterial qualities. The following is a list of the most popular organic oils. (7)
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a great source of Vitamins E and K, antifungal, and antibacterial properties which not only moisturizes but smoothen, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, calms temporary redness, and soothes irritated skin.

Olive oil
Olive oil derived from olives is a staple of the Mediterranean diet. Not only does the oil have many nutritional benefits when consumed, but it also is frequently applied to the skin and hair. It acts as an antioxidant that prevents premature ageing by fighting the free radicals present in the skin.

Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is excreted from the nuts of the jojoba plant. Many people use jojoba oil as part of their skincare routine for many reasons. It works to seal the skin with a protective barrier which helps it from losing moisture. Apart from moisturizing your skin, you can use jojoba oil to treat acne, psoriasis, and countless other skin conditions. The Vitamin E in jojoba oil acts as an antioxidant that helps the skin fight oxidative stress caused by pollutants and other toxins. (10)
Almond oil
Almonds aren’t just for healthy snacking, in fact, this nutty oil benefits your skin in various ways. Ayurvedic and ancient Chinese have always used almond oil to help soften and soothe the skin. Along with moisturizing your skin, this oil also reduces puffiness and under-eye circles, improves complexion and skin tone, treats acne, helps reverse sun damage, and reduces the appearance of scars and fine lines and stretch marks. (11)
Rosehip seed oil
Rosehip seed oil is derived from the Rosa Canina rose bush that is grown mostly in chile. It is a dry or nongreasy oil which makes it a great natural moisturizer for all skin types (12). The essential fatty acids, including linoleic and linolenic acid in Rosehip seed oil, keep cell walls strong so that they don’t lose water. Rosehip oil also exfoliates and brightens skin, boosts collagen formation, reduces inflammation, scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, and protects against sun damage.
3. Honey
For centuries, honey has been considered an integral part of our lifestyle. Right from being used for cooking purposes to being used for the treatment of numerous illnesses and diseases, the credibility and reputation of honey as a magic potion for the overall health of the body (both external and internal) has remained unwavering. As a powerhouse of various nutrients, honey is a favourite ingredient for dieticians, nutritionists, beauty experts, etc.

Applying honey to your skin regularly gives you results that are beyond your imagination, your skin looks healthy, younger-looking and glowing. It acts as a pore cleanser, an exfoliator. Honey lightens scars, fights acne and pimples, reduces wrinkles, brightens skin complexion, prevents premature ageing, and adds a natural glow. (13)

Coconut milk is packed with many healthy skin oils and antioxidants that help the skin in numerous ways. It is a lot less greasy and has a more subtle scent when compared to coconut oil.
The nutrient-dense milk helps in locking in the hydration and smoothing out the skin. You often find coconut milk as a primary ingredient in dry skin-saving moisturizers.

12. The effectiveness of a standardized rose hip powder, containing seeds and shells of Rosa canina, on cell longevity, skin wrinkles, moisture, and elasticity - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4655903/
When it comes to skincare, the terms "hydration" and "moisturisation" are often used interchangeably. But did you know they serve different functions for your skin? Both are essential for a healthy, glowing complexion, but understanding their unique roles can help you build a more effective skincare routine.
Urjasara, with its thoughtfully crafted Ayurvedic formulas, bridges the gap between hydration and moisturisation, ensuring your skin gets everything it needs to look and feel its best. Here's a closer look at why both hydration and moisturisation matter and how Urjasara’s dual-action products can transform your skin.
Why Both Hydration and Moisturisation Matter
Imagine your skin as a sponge. For it to remain soft, smooth, and plump, it needs water (hydration) to stay saturated and oils (moisturisation) to keep the water locked in. Skipping either step can lead to dull, dry, or imbalanced skin.
By addressing both hydration and moisturisation, you can maintain optimal skin health, repair the barrier, and achieve that coveted radiant glow. Let’s break down what each term really means and how they work together.
Skin Hydration, Explained
When it comes to skincare, hydration is all about boosting your skin’s water content. Dehydrated skin lacks water, leading to tightness, dullness, and a lack of elasticity. Hydrating products typically contain humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera, which draw moisture into the skin.
When your skin is well-hydrated, it appears plump, smooth, and radiant. Hydration is crucial for maintaining a youthful appearance and preventing fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration.
Skin Moisturisation, Explained
While hydration focuses on water content, moisturisation is about locking that water in and reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier. Moisturisers are usually oil-based or contain emollients and occlusives, such as shea butter, ceramides, or plant oils, which prevent water loss and keep your skin soft and supple.
Without proper moisturisation, your skin barrier can become compromised, leading to dryness, irritation, and an increased risk of environmental damage.
Urjasara’s Dual-Action Approach
Urjasara’s range of Ayurvedic skincare products is designed to address both hydration and moisturisation, ensuring your skin is healthy, plump & resilient. Each product in the Urjasara collection is powered by the synergy of Ayurvedic botanicals and scientifically proven ingredients, delivering visible results.
Hydration with Urjasara:
Hyaluronic Acid: A powerhouse humectant that attracts and retains water, plumping up the skin and reducing dehydration. Find plant-based hyaluronic acid in Kumkumadi Silky Serum, Urjasara Milky Essence and Urjasara Water Cream.

The skincare world is constantly evolving, and with it, our approach to hydration has been redefined. As beauty enthusiasts increasingly demand products that deliver quick results without sacrificing luxury, water creams (also known as gel creams) have emerged as the ultimate solution. These lightweight moisturisers are lightweight, fast-absorbing, and deeply hydrating, making them a game-changer for all skin types. Among these is Kama Ayurveda’s NEW Urjasara Water Cream, a luxurious Ayurvedic formula designed to replenish moisture, restore the skin barrier, and leave your skin radiant.
A New Era: From Traditional Creams to Water Creams
For years, traditional oil-based moisturisers were the gold standard for hydration. While effective, their heavy textures often left a greasy residue—particularly unsuitable for hot, humid climates or oily skin types. Enter water creams: feather-light, gel-like formulations that absorb effortlessly into the skin.
Unlike conventional creams, water creams offer intense hydration without feeling heavy or clogging pores. Their innovative texture is perfect for layering with other skincare products, making them versatile and practical for everyday use.
Why Water creams Are the New Hydration Heroes
Water creams have skyrocketed in popularity because they address the modern skincare dilemma of achieving deep hydration without any greasy residue or a film. Their benefits include:
Lightweight texture: Perfect for daily use and comfortable for all skin types.
Fast absorption: No greasy residue, just refreshed, hydrated skin.
Deep hydration: Packed with water-binding ingredients like hyaluronic acid for smooth, plump skin.
For oily and combination skin types or anyone in warm climates, water creams like Urjasara Water Cream are ideal choices. They cater to the growing trend of lightweight moisturisers that deliver results without compromising the skin’s natural balance.
What is a Water Cream, and How is It Different?
Water creams, sometimes called gel creams, are water-based moisturisers with a high concentration of hydrating ingredients. Unlike heavier, oil-based formulas, water creams offer a non-greasy, lightweight alternative that feels refreshing on the skin.
Key ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerine, and aloe vera make water creams incredibly effective at locking in moisture while maintaining a smooth, non-sticky finish. Whether you have oily skin, live in a humid climate, or simplyprefer lighter products, water creams are a must-have for hydrated, glowing skin.
Urjasara Water Cream: A Perfect Blend of Ayurveda and Innovation
Among the leading water creams is Urjasara Water Cream by Kama Ayurveda—a product that combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with cutting-edge skincare science.
This 97% natural-origin formula is clinically proven to increase hydration by 80% after just one use. Its powerful blend of botanical actives includes:
Hyaluronic Acid: Delivers intense hydration and a plumping effect.
Amiporine™ and Danomega™ (Omega 3 & 6): Repair and strengthen the skin barrier for long-lasting moisture.
Liquorice Oleoactive®: Brightens the skin, promoting a natural, radiant glow.
After four weeks of use, 90% of users noticed a fresh glow, while 83% felt their skin was visibly plumper. Dermatologically tested and free from artificial fragrances, it’s suitable for all skin types—including sensitive skin.
How Water Creams Help Support Your Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier is the outermost layer of your skin, responsible for locking in moisture and keeping irritants out. A weakened barrier can lead to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Water creams like Urjasara play a key role in maintaining and repairing this barrier.
To support your skin barrier, avoid harsh products that strip natural oils and prioritize moisturisers rich in hydrating and replenishing ingredients. The Urjasara Water Cream delivers on all fronts, helping your skin stay resilient, smooth, and nourished.
How to Incorporate Water Creams into Your Routine
Maximize your hydration game with this step-by-step routine:
Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser like Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser to prep your skin.
Tone: Follow up with Pure Rose Water to balance your skin’s pH.
Boost: Apply Kumkumadi Silky Serum or Urjasara Milky Essence for an extra layer of hydration.
Moisturise: Massage Urjasara Water Cream onto your face, neck, and décolletage until fully absorbed.
Beauty Tip: Dab a small amount on the high points of your face for a subtle, dewy glow.
Water creams are the ultimate blend of lightweight luxury and powerful hydration, meeting the needs of modern skincare enthusiasts. With its Ayurvedic-inspired formulation and proven efficacy, Urjasara Water Cream is a shining example of this transformative trend.

In the world of skincare, the concept of barrier repair is becoming increasingly important. To put it simply, the skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the epidermis), acts as a shield to protect the body from environmental stressors, bacteria, and dehydration. When this barrier is compromised, your skin becomes more susceptible to irritation, dryness, and premature ageing. Thankfully, Ayurveda offers a wealth of natural ingredients that can help restore and strengthen the skin barrier, providing long-lasting hydration and protection.
Ayurvedic Barrier Repair: The Foundation of Skin Health
According to Ayurvedic beauty, which is holistic in nature, your skin & hair are a barometer of your overall health. The health of your skin is closely linked to the balance of internal energies (doshas) which comes with leading a lifestyle that suits your doshas (Take the dosha quiz to find out your dosha) , maintaining a healthy, seasonal diet and the use of powerful plant-based skincare. The goal of Ayurvedic skincare is to harmonise the body and mind while supporting the skin’s natural healing processes. Ayurvedic barrier repair is not just about restoring the outer layer; it’s about nourishing the skin from within to ensure long-term strength and resilience. By incorporating ingredients like Urjasara Oil and and Urjasara Rich Cream (rich in Shala, and Phalini, Ceramides & other barrier repairing ingredients), these Ayurvedic ingredients help protect the skin barrier, improve texture, and prevent transepidermal water loss.
Signs of a Disrupted Skin Barrier
If your skin is showing any of the following signs, your barrier may be compromised:
Dry patches or rough texture
Redness or irritation
Increased sensitivity or inflammation
Breakouts or excessive oiliness
Tight, uncomfortable skin
Key Ingredients for Barrier Repair
Several Ayurvedic ingredients and bio actives stand out when it comes to barrier repair. Here's how they work to restore and strengthen your skin:
Shala
Known for its deep healing properties, Shala helps repair the skin's natural moisture barrier. It promotes hydration, reducing the appearance of dry patches and rough textures, ensuring a smooth, supple complexion. The nourishing qualities of Shala make it an ideal ingredient for replenishing moisture and protecting the skin from external aggressors.
Phalini
This Ayurvedic botanical is prized for its ability to balance the skin's natural oils, helping to strengthen the skin's barrier and prevent water loss. It works synergistically with other ingredients to support skin regeneration and rejuvenation, leaving the skin feeling softer, plumper, and more resilient.
Hyaluronic Acid
A staple in modern skincare, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, providing intense hydration and supporting the skin's ability to retain water. It helps plump the skin, improving texture and elasticity. At Kama Ayurveda, we use plant-based Hyaluronic Acid whose larger molecules helps lock hydration.

Ceramides
Ceramides are essential lipids (fat molecules) found naturally in the skin that help maintain its protective barrier. They lock in moisture, preventing dehydration and protecting against environmental pollutants. When used in skincare, ceramides help restore the skin’s natural barrier, improving hydration and reducing signs of dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. They are especially beneficial for sensitive or dry skin types and help promote smooth, supple skin.

Niacinamide also helps to enhance moisture retention, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines, redness, and irritation. It is an excellent choice for people dealing with dry, compromised, or aging skin.
Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics the skin’s natural oils, helping to replenish the skin barrier and lock in moisture.

How to Maintain Your Skin Barrier
Maintaining a healthy skin barrier is essential for preventing moisture loss and protecting the skin from environmental stressors. Here are some tips:
Avoid Over-Washing: Excessive washing can disrupt the skin barrier. Cleanse your skin twice a day and avoid washing with hot water.
Use Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh exfoliants or abrasive products that strip the skin of its natural oils. Choose gentle cleansers and moisturisers that support hydration and barrier repair.
Apply Moisturiser While Damp: To lock in moisture, always apply your moisturiser immediately after cleansing when your skin is still damp.
Use SPF Daily: Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days.
Dark spots or skin pigmentation is one of the most common worries in India. And that’s because we’re more susceptible to skin pigmentation since brown skin has more natural pigment or melanin than Caucasians. One of the most common signs of ageing, even-toned skin is the need of the hour. While the beauty industry is full of actives & laser treatments to brighten skin and reduce pigmentation, we’re going to take note of potent Ayurvedic formulations and ingredients that have stood the test of time and are equally effective in reducing skin pigmentation.
But first, let’s discuss the possible causes of skin pigmentation, Let’s get started.
What Causes Pigmentation?
You may have heard about a natural pigment called melanin that’s present in the skin. Each of us has the same number of cells that produce melanin known as melanocytes. Yet the amount of melanin these cells produce varies from person to person and determines our skin colour.
However, due to certain external and internal factors, there can be an increase in melanin production, leading to skin pigmentation on the face or body. These include
1. Sun exposure
Long term exposure to UV rays (UVA and UVB) without sunscreen can cause sun damage including dark spots, a common form of pigmentation.
2. Hormonal Imbalances
Internal changes in the body such as a change in hormone levels, or conditions such PCOS, thyroid, pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation.
3. Melasma
Melasma is a very common worry for expecting or new mothers due to hormonal changes in the body. Blue or grey-brown patches usually found on the face are commonly known as melasma. This is more common between the ages of 20-40.
4. Post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH)
Leftover marks caused by pimples, acne or even eczema in some cases are referred to as post-inflammatory pigmentation or PIH.
Other common causes of pigmentation include side effects of certain medicines and skin irritation.
Types of skin pigmentation
1. Dark spots
These are also known as age spots, sunspots and Solar lentigines.
2. Melasma
Usually caused by genetic predisposition, Melasma shows up on the face as large brown patches during or after pregnancy.
3. Post-inflammatory pigmentation
Commonly known as PIH, it’s your skin’s response to an injury like acne, friction and more.
Can skin pigmentation be reversed?
There are many Ayurvedic formulations and skin pigmentation creams with a variety of ingredients that do help reduce pigmentation, with regular usage. With time, cosmetic treatments have also progressed leaps and bounds and offer many solutions to pigmentation.
However, today, we will be discussing Ayurvedic ingredients that can, in time, reduce pigmentation.
Can Ayurvedic treatments cure skin pigmentation?
In Ayurveda, it is believed that an imbalance of Pitta and Vata, can cause skin pigmentation. So, apart from using skin pigmentation creams & oils , which we discuss shortly, it is important to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Tips To Treat & Avoid Skin Pigmentation
Plan your day keeping the circadian rhythms of your body: try to wake up early, meditate, eat healthy meals and sleep early.
Dehydrated skin is more prone to skin pigmentation. So, make sure you drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.
Make most of seasonal fruits, leafy green vegetables, legumes, and antioxidants that counter any free radical damage.
Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. When outdoors, make most physical blocks like dark-coloured clothing, sunglasses and hats to avoid sun exposure. Make sure you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects you from sun damage and dark spots.
Add a night cream that hydrates skin, reduces melanin production and imparts a natural glow will help you reduce hyperpigmentation.

Can Ghee Be Used To Tackle Skin Pigmentation?
There are studies that suggest desi ghee is effective in treating skin pigmentation. Abundant in short-chain fatty acids and vitamins and antioxidants, ghee helps reduce oxidative stress and maintains healthy skin. This carotene also shields your skin from UV rays which are also known to cause pigmentation. While some of our products have ghee in it, you can also make your own DIY Face Pack. Here's how to use it: Combine 1-2 teaspoons of gram flour, amba haldi or kasturi manjal and a couple of drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and use it as a face pack to treat pigmentation on skin.
How to Use Liquorice Powder For Skin Pigmentation?
Here are some quick ways to use liquorice powder for different skin types:
For Oily skin: Take powdered orange peel with one tablespoon of liquorice powder and 5-6 drops of lemon juice. Mix it and use this paste for skin brightening for oily skin while also getting rid of excess oil.
For Dry skin: Mix honey and liquorice powder into a paste and use it as a hydrating face pack for dry skin that also helps brighten it.
For Normal skin: For normal skin, mix aloe vera gel and liquorice powder to make a soothing face pack that nourishes the skin and helps with skin brightening.
Home Remedies For Skin Pigmentation
Here are a few home remedies you can try for removing dark spots and dark patches:
1. Milk
Lactic acid is known to lighten patches and dark spots effectively. Soak a cotton pad in milk or yogurt and apply it over your face.

5. Red lentils
Soak red lentils overnight and grind them into a paste in the morning with some water. Apply this paste as a face pack twice a week to get rid of pigmentation.
