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 

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.  

Face Creams  

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 

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. 

Brighten Eyes, Naturally: Meet the Kumkumadi Eye Serum

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: 

  1. Cleanse: Gently wash your face to remove impurities. 
  1. Apply: Take a small amount of the serum and dab it lightly under the eyes using your ring finger. 
  1. Massage: Gently tap in a circular motion until fully absorbed. 
  1. Follow Up: Pair with Kama Ayurveda’s Kumkumadi Face Serum for an all-over glow. 

For optimal results, apply twice daily, morning and night. 

How to Rejuvenate Tired Eyes with Amarrupa Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream

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 

  1. 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. 
  1. 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. 
  1. 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. 
  1. 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 

  1. Cleanse Gently: Start with a mild cleanser to remove dirt and impurities from the under-eye area. 
  1. Take a Small Amount: Use your ring finger to scoop a pea-sized amount of Amarrupa Eye Cream. 
  1. Apply with Care: Dab the cream lightly under your eyes and on your eyelids. Avoid tugging or pulling the skin. 
  1. 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. 

Ashwaras Mind-Healing Body Massage Oil: The Art of Ayurvedic Touch with Ashwagandha

There’s something deeply grounding about the simple act of touch. In Ayurveda, touch isn’t just physical care. It’s healing. The practice of Abhyanga, or daily self-massage, has been cherished for centuries to awaken energy, ease fatigue, and calm the mind.

Ashwaras Mind-Healing Body Massage Oil uses the power of Ashwagandha to bring that ancient tradition into everyday life, helping to restore balance and vitality.

This rich, silky Ayurvedic massage oil is formulated for deep relaxation. It warms the body, nourishes the skin, and invites the mind to slow down. Every drop is infused with 21 Ayurvedic botanicals, each chosen for its ability to rejuvenate and balance.

The Quiet Strength of Ashwagandha in Ayurvedic Healing

In ancient Ayurvedic texts, Ashwagandha is described as a Rasayana, a rejuvenator that restores vitality, balance, and resilience. For thousands of years, it has been valued for its ability to strengthen both body and mind, helping restore balance when energy feels depleted.

Today, modern science recognizes Ashwagandha as an adaptogen, a natural compound that helps the body adapt to stress, whether physical, emotional, or environmental. It supports the nervous system, promotes healthy circulation, and helps reduce inflammation, benefits that reach far beyond the skin surface.

When applied through massage, Ashwagandha works in two powerful ways. It nourishes and tones the skin, enhancing elasticity and smoothness, while its calming properties ease tension and quiet mental fatigue. With each touch, the body softens, the breath deepens, and a sense of balance gently returns.

A Ritual That Heals Body, Mind, and Skin

Ashwaras Mind-Healing Body Massage Oil is formulated to make Abhyanga easy. Its texture is rich enough to glide smoothly, yet it absorbs easily, leaving the skin soft and nourished rather than oily. The aroma is subtle and grounding, a gentle blend that quiets the senses and draws you inward.

This natural body massage oil delivers visible results:

  • 91% revitalized skin
  • +21% skin smoothness
  • 91% natural glow

Use it before a shower or after a long day when you feel drained. Warm the oil between your palms and massage it into your skin with slow, steady movements. As your hands move, notice the rhythm of your breath. With each stroke, tension eases and the mind softens.

After 10 to 30 minutes, rinse off in a warm shower with a mild body cleanser. Follow with Ashwaras Replenishing Body Oil to deeply hydrate the skin, smooth away imperfections, and reveal its natural, healthy radiance.

Why Your Body Needs Ashwagandha Massage Oil?

According to Ayurveda, the body and mind are interlinked. When one goes out of balance, the other feels it. That is why regular body massage is so central to Ayurvedic living: it restores the flow of energy, or prana. Ashwagandha enhances this process by supporting circulation and grounding the nervous system.

This would be of special benefit to anyone living under constant stimulation, such as long work hours, screen time, and noise exposure. Regular use will help counteract the effects of stress on the skin and body. You should gradually find that your texture has smoothed, the tone improved, and the healthy, radiant glow feels less like it's from a product and more like your natural vitality has returned.

Mindful Beauty Made Responsibly

True care goes beyond formulation. Ashwaras Body Massage Oil is formulated with 100% natural-origin ingredients and contains no artificial fragrance or harmful additives. It’s dermatologically tested, therefore suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

The bottle is made from recyclable glass, the label is recyclable, and the outer box is crafted from 100% recycled paper. Each element is a conscious step toward sustainability.

A Moment That Changes Everything

Closing your day with a ritual that brings stillness is a quiet kind of beauty. Ashwaras Mind-Healing Body Massage Oil is not just about soft skin or relaxation. Rather, it's about balance, which enables you to face the world with more ease, steadiness, and warmth.

Ashwagvandha has long been known as a healer of both body and mind. Infused in this natural massage oil, it becomes a part of your daily rhythm, a kind reminder that true beauty comes not from what you apply but from how carefully you care for yourself.

With each massage, the skin softens, the mind quiets, and the body remembers what calm feels like. This is the true art of Ayurvedic touch.

Ashwaras Smoothing and Invigorating Body Cream: Ayurvedic Hydration for Modern Skin

Some days, your skin feels tired before you do. It’s dry, uneven, maybe a little dull, the kind of fatigue no quick fix can really hide. What your skin needs isn’t just moisture, but lasting nourishment.

That’s exactly what Ashwaras Smoothing & Invigorating Body Cream was created for. It’s a rich, sensorial Ayurvedic blend that restores vitality to your skin and calms the mind. In fact, 94% of users reported visibly healthier skin after use.

Powered by 21 botanical extracts, this Ayurvedic body cream puts Ashwagandha at the heart of its formula. Known in Ayurveda as the herb of strength and renewal, Ashwagandha helps your skin adapt, recover, and glow again.

The Science and Soul of Ashwagandha

For centuries, Ashwagandha, often called Indian Ginseng, has been used to strengthen the body and calm the mind. Its Sanskrit roots tell the story: Ashwa means “horse” and Gandha means “essence,” symbolizing the energy, resilience, and vitality it’s known to impart.

Today, modern research helps explain why this ancient herb remains so powerful. Its natural compounds, called withanolides, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds (including flavonoids and glycosides), help reduce inflammation, boost collagen production, and support the skin’s ability to manage stress. Think of it as your skin's adaptogen, a steady influence that helps to right the balance when life feels out of balance.

When used in skincare, Ashwagandha works in three beautiful ways:

  • It deeply hydrates and locks in moisture.
  • It refines texture and supports elasticity.
  • It revives radiance, leaving the skin with a quiet, natural glow.

So while you feel softness on the surface, your skin is quietly rebuilding strength from within.

What Makes Ashwaras Smoothing & Invigorating Body Cream Special

The Ashwaras Smoothing & Invigorating Body Cream pairs Ashwagandha with nourishing Ayurvedic botanicals like Arrowleaf and Liquorice, both known for their skin-soothing and brightening properties. These ingredients come together in a 96% plant-based formula, enriched with Beetroot Extract to help the skin hold onto moisture for longer.

The texture is luxurious but never heavy. It melts into the skin, leaving it velvety, hydrated, and comfortably smooth without any stickiness. The finish is soft, luminous, and touchably supple.

Clinically tested results speak for themselves:

  • Skin smoothness improved by 28%
  • 94% of users saw visibly healthier skin
  • 92% noticed improved firmness and tone

It’s the kind of hydration that feels like a ritual, not a routine.

The Ritual of Renewal

Massage this Ayurvedic body cream into your skin after a bath or shower, while your skin is still slightly damp. Let it absorb slowly as you breathe in its light, calming aroma. It’s more than moisturizing, but a moment of stillness in the middle of a busy day.

The botanicals begin their quiet work, easing dryness, improving tone, and restoring suppleness. Over time, your skin feels more resilient and more alive.

In Ayurveda, caring for your skin is inseparable from caring for your energy. When you nourish your body with touch and intention, you also soothe the nervous system. That’s why this cream doesn’t just make your skin look good. It helps you feel grounded.

What Makes Ashwaras a Conscious Creation?

Ashwaras products are made with care for you and for the planet. This body cream is free from more than 100 controversial additives and artificial fragrances. It’s dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

The same mindfulness is reflected in the packaging. Each jar is made from 100% recyclable glass, with a recyclable label and an outer box made from 100% recycled paper.

This is what modern Ayurveda looks like: based on nature, supported by science, and serving everyday life.

Hydration in Harmony

The Ashwaras Smoothing & Invigorating Body Cream is more than a moisturizer. It's a ritual of nourishment and release. With regular use, your skin feels smoother, your mind calmer, your body more at ease.

Because when the skin is hydrated and the senses are quiet, something shifts. You look brighter. You move differently. You carry that inner calm with you.

That's the real glow, the kind that can't be faked or forced, only restored.

For thousands of years, Ayurveda has utilised Ashwagandha for its strengthening, balancing, and calming properties. This Indian Ginseng has been cherished for more than three thousand years because it truly works! Its name tells the story. In Sanskrit, Ashwa means horse, and Gandha means smell, referring to its earthy scent and the stamina it was believed to give, like that of a horse.

Known as a Rasayana in ancient Ayurvedic texts, Ashwagandha restores body and mind. Science today refers to it as an adaptogen that the body uses to help process stress and maintain steadiness. It is the herb people turn to when their body or mind feels off balance.

Applied topically, Ashwagandha does more than just hydrate. It fortifies the skin to regain its resiliency, firmness, and vitality. It deeply nourishes dry or uneven skin while calming irritation and enhancing elasticity. The skin looks smoother, more supple, and naturally radiant with regular use.

Beyond surface beauty, Ashwagandha works from within, helping to regulate stress hormones like cortisol and, in turn, reducing the appearance of stress on the skin, making it calmer and more even.

Its benefits have been espoused in Ayurveda since time immemorial. Charaka, the great Ayurvedic scholar, referred to it as a "rasayana" herb, which is supposed to "restore youth, impart a luminous complexion, and strengthen vitality." Today, its age-old promise remains true as it nourishes and strengthens skin that glows with natural health.

What Ashwagandha Can Do for Your Skin

Hydration Rituals for Radiant Skin: The Complete Eladhi Range

True hydration is never about a single step. In Ayurveda, beauty is a ritual, a balancing and nourishing act unfolding over time. Every layer of care serves a purpose: to soothe, protect, and restore your skin to its natural glow.

The Eladhi Range by Kama Ayurveda is formulated with this philosophy at heart. Inspired by ancient Ayurvedic recipes and perfected with modern science, it offers a complete system to quench and revive parched skin. Proven through regular use, it boosts hydration by 31% in just 14 days and repairs the skin barrier by 19%, helping your skin rediscover its softness, strength, and radiance.

Each product in the range works in balance, just like steps in a ritual, to restore your skin to what it really needs: balance, vitality, and a long-lasting glow.

Step-by-Step Ayurvedic Hydration Ritual for Glowing Skin

In Ayurveda, true hydration comes from a gentle rhythm of care that restores balance and glow to the skin. Kama Ayurveda's Eladhi Range marries ancient tradition with modern science in creating a complete hydration ritual for glowing skin, in and out.

Here's how you can make it part of your daily self-care ritual:

Step 1: Cleanse

Cleanse your face and body with a mild Ayurvedic cleanser. This will clear impurities away without reducing the skin's natural oils, leaving the skin clean and soft to absorb nourishment.

Step 2: Refresh with Pure Floral Mists

After cleansing, mist your face and body lightly with one of our Pure Floral Mists to instantly rehydrate the skin and prepare it for better moisture retention. Light floral water awakens your senses and leaves skin fresh and dewy.

Step 3: Massage with Eladhi Restorative Face & Body Oil

Warm a few drops of Eladhi Restorative Face & Body Oil between your palms and gently massage into skin. This simple act encourages blood flow, restores pliability, and locks in long-lasting hydration. You can also mix a few drops with your foundation and sweep it over arms and legs for a soft, luminous sheen.

Why it works:

This Ayurvedic blend of 35 botanicals combines Coconut for deep nourishment with Cardamom and Indian Frankincense for antioxidant protection and skin renewal. Rich in Phytosterols, it helps strengthen the skin's barrier and improve moisture retention, especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.

Step 4: Replenish with Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion

If your skin is prone to oiliness, avoid heavy creams and instead use a small amount of Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion on the face, neck, and décolletage, massaging it in with a gentle upward stroking motion until it disappears.

This feather-light emulsion gives a refreshing dose of moisture without any weight or shine. Infused with Coconut to nourish and soften, Cardamom for its antioxidant and brightening properties, Calendula to calm and protect, and Beetroot Extract to improve hydration, it keeps your skin balanced and comfortable throughout the day.

Step 5: Seal with Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream

If your skin is feeling dry or tight, complete your ritual with the Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream. Apply it to your face, neck, and décolletage with soft upward strokes.

This ultra-rich cream wraps the skin in deep, long-lasting hydration. Enriched with Coconut, Rose, Cardamom, Aloe Vera, and Glycerin, it replenishes moisture, strengthens the skin's natural barrier, and smooths away dryness, leaving the skin soft, supple, and beautifully restored to comfort with each use.

Each step of the Eladhi Hydration Ritual flows into the next, cleansing, quenching, nourishing, and sealing in lasting moisture. Together, they balance the skin, leaving it resilient and glowing with the quiet confidence that comes from daily care.

How to Use for Different Skin Types

  • Oily Skin:

After cleansing and misting, apply a little Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion and massage it gently until absorbed. Light in texture and non-greasy, it keeps the skin hydrated and fresh. To control excess oil during the day, use a floral mist. Avoid layering too many products, and cleanse your skin without stripping it of its oils.

  • Dry Skin:

Apply Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream on slightly damp skin to seal in moisture. For extra nourishment, use Eladhi Restorative Face & Body Oil before your cream. Drink plenty of water, include healthy fats in your diet, and avoid washing your face with hot water to prevent dryness.

  • Combination Skin:

Apply Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion on oily zones and Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream on dry areas. This will keep the skin balanced and comfortable. Refresh your skin with a floral mist during the day and exfoliate once or twice a week to maintain smooth, glowing skin.

Eladhi Nourishing Cream: Rich Moisture for Dry Skin

Your dry skin (also known as xerosis) craves more than surface-level moisture. It needs deep nourishment inside to restore hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. Harsh sun, rising pollution levels, fluctuating temperatures, and seasonal changes in India can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it rough, tight, and irritated. For many, everyday moisturizers just aren't enough, particularly when faced with such challenges.

Kama Ayurveda Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream is specially designed for this purpose, drenching your skin in long-lasting moisture. It fuses the science of Ayurvedic botanicals, renowned for their restorative and soothing properties, with modern clinical studies. In fact, it improves skin hydration by 37% after just 14 days of regular usage. No wonder it is considered one of the best-kept secrets for dry skin, even in India's harsh climates.

Why Does Skin Become Dry?

Before understanding why you should choose Eladhi Rich Cream, an Ayurvedic moisturizer for dry skin, let’s first look at the common causes of skin dryness. Here are some factors to consider:

  • Aging:

As age progresses, the skin produces less sebum, an oil that keeps the skin soft and youthful. By 40, it falls dramatically, thereby causing more dryness on the skin.

  • Low Outdoor Temperatures:

When the temperatures are low, your skin retains less moisture, which can lead to excessive dryness.

  • Wet Work Environment:

Working in an environment where people are constantly putting their hands in water throughout the day or working with strong chemicals could strip the skin of its protective layer. This, in turn, could cause skin dryness.

  • Certain Medical Conditions:

Medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, and kidney disease, may make one lose more fluid, which can disrupt the normal functioning of sweat and oil glands.

  • Certain Medication:

Various medications, including statins and diuretics, often cause dry skin.

  • Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency:

The skin requires several nutrients, especially vitamin D, vitamin A, niacin, zinc, and iron. The deficiency of one or all these nutrients can cause dry skin.

  • Conditions that May Affect Your Skin:

Atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, perioral dermatitis, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis are among the conditions that cause severely dry skin.

If you want the best rich cream for dry skin in India, Eladhi Nourishing Rich Cream provides deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and leaves a healthy, radiant glow.

Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion Benefits: Lightweight Hydration for Oily Skin

Oily and combination skin need hydration just as much as dry skin, sometimes even more. When the skin lacks moisture (dehydrated), it tends to produce more oil, which can lead to breakouts and dullness. What it really needs is a lightweight formula that balances and refreshes without clogging pores.

Kama Ayurveda’s Eladhi Hydrating Fresh Emulsion is exactly formulated for this purpose. It is oil-free, fast-absorbing, and clinically proven to deliver 100% instant hydration and improved skin texture, leaving the skin soft, fresh, and naturally glowing.

Why Even Oily Skin Needs Hydration?

  • Keeps oil in check:

When oily skin isn't properly hydrated, it goes into overdrive, producing even more sebum to compensate. Regular hydration helps regulate oil production and keeps your skin feeling fresh and comfortable, rather than greasy.

  • Strengthens your skin’s natural barrier:

Hydration supports the skin's lipid barrier, which protects the skin against pollution, UV rays, and other external stresses. A healthy lipid barrier locks in moisture and keeps irritants out.

  • Reduces redness and irritation:

Well-hydrated skin stays calm and resilient. It is less prone to inflammation, redness, or sudden breakouts that generally come from dehydration.

  • Smoothens texture and adds a healthy glow:

Moisture plumps up the skin, softens roughness, and brings back a natural radiance without adding shine. What one will get with this water masque is light, smooth, and balanced skin.

  • Helps maintain youthful skin:

Continuous hydration will keep the skin supple and avoid early signs of aging. It softens fine lines and helps maintain a naturally healthy, refreshed look.

Ayurvedic Botanicals That Balance Oil and Hydration

Ayurveda believes that balance is the key to healthy skin. For oily and combination skin, this means managing excess sebum without stripping away essential moisture. Here are some age-old botanicals that help purify, soothe, and restore natural balance to the skin.

  • Calendula:

This plant extract cools redness and makes the skin retain moisture. It aids in the repair of the skin and makes it feel soft and comfortable.

  • Coconut:

It nourishes the skin with its healthy lipids that keep skin moisturized but not greasy. It keeps skin smooth and balanced in texture.

  • Beetroot Extract:

It attracts moisture and locks it in to maintain fresh, hydrated, and plump skin throughout the day.

  • Calamus:

Known in Ayurveda for its cleansing and soothing qualities, it helps control excess oil and keeps the skin balanced.

  • Aloe Vera:

It cools and moisturizes the skin, aiding it in recovering from sun exposure, redness, or irritation. It supports natural healing.

  • Cucumber:

Cools and tones the skin by tightening pores. It is rich in water and vitamin C, helping to keep your skin calm and hydrated.

  • Peppermint:

It acts as a natural astringent that balances oil levels. It cools and refreshes the skin, reducing further inflammation.

Eladhi Restorative Oil: The Best Ayurvedic Face & Body Oil for Deep Hydration

Skin that’s truly nourished always glows.” But in India, our skin faces countless challenges, blazing summers, dry winters, pollution, and long hours in air-conditioned spaces, all of which strip away its natural moisture. Ordinary moisturizers can only do so much. What your skin truly craves is gentle, nourishing care that works deeply to restore balance and vitality.

Eladhi Restorative Face & Body Oil from Kama Ayurveda is made exactly for this. Enriched with age-loved Ayurvedic ingredients, it penetrates deeply to hydrate, strengthen your skin’s natural barrier, and reveal a soft, radiant glow that feels nourished from within.

Why Does Skin Lose Its Moisture[1] ?

Before we talk about Ayurvedic oils for glowing skin, let’s first answer a basic question: why does your skin lose moisture[VS2] ? Here are some common causes:

  1. Environmental Stress:

Exposure to the sun, pollution, and dry winters can take away natural moisture from the skin. Long hours in air-conditioned places further weaken the protective barrier of the skin, which leaves it dry, rough, and sensitive.

  1. Seasonal Changes:

Skin hydration varies according to the seasons. Cold, dry winters diminish natural oils and lipids, making the skin easily succumb to dryness, while hot summers can increase both sweat and the rate of water loss.

  1. Aging:

With aging, natural water-binding molecules, such as hyaluronic acid, are reduced, and lipid levels are lowered. This decreased ability to retain moisture in the skin causes dry skin and a dull appearance.

  1. Nutritional Deficiencies:

These include deficiencies in vitamin C, calcium, and essential fatty acids. All these can affect the skin's capability of retaining moisture. Good nutrition helps the skin barrier and will keep it soft and elastic.

  1. Glycation & Sugar Intake:

Consuming excess sugar might alter proteins in the skin and make the skin less supple. These changes, known as glycation, reduce hydration and elasticity, which lead to dryness and early signs of aging.

What Makes Ayurvedic Oils So Effective for Deep Nourishment?

  • Deep Nourishment from Within

Ayurvedic oils nourish the skin deeply because they are made with natural, plant-based ingredients that work from within. They don't just coat the surface but are absorbed slowly, allowing the skin to drink deeply in what it needs to feel soft, supple, and healthy.

  • Herbs and Botanicals That Heal and Restore

These oils are enhanced with herbs, essential oils, and traditional botanicals used for centuries in India to support the health of the skin. Every ingredient is selected with care to soothe, repair, and restore balance, leaving skin radiant.

  • Strengthening the Skin’s Natural Barrier

Regular use of Ayurvedic oils for dry skin fortifies the skin's natural barrier. This means the skin retains moisture longer, resists dryness, and recovers much better from environmental stress. Over time, skin feels and looks smoother, firmer, and naturally luminous.

Beyond simple hydration, these oils work to improve overall skin vitality: making it more elastic, reducing roughness, and generally helping the skin look radiant.

  • Rooted in Centuries of Ayurvedic Science

The effects of Ayurvedic oils are rooted in tradition and experience that spans centuries. Every ingredient and each blend is specifically designed to support skin in a holistic way, offering long-lasting health and radiance rather than temporary relief.

Ayurvedic oils go beyond simple hydration. They work deeply to restore the skin’s balance, improve texture, and reveal a natural, luminous glow.

How to Use Face and Body Oil for Glowing Skin: Step-by-Step Guide

An Ayurvedic Approach to Healthier Hair

The holistic principles of Ayurveda, including lifestyle practices, traditional remedies, and innovative tools, have long been valued for their role in supporting strong, healthy hair. This guide explores Ayurveda’s ancient approach to haircare and shares practical ways to enhance strength, shine, and vitality.

Ayurvedic Insights on Hair Health

Hair as a Reflection of Inner Health

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 such as oiling, mindful nutrition, and stress management are not passing trends. They are deeply rooted 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 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 is 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.”

Lifestyle and Stress

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, hair thinning, premature greying, and loss of shine. Practices such as yoga, meditation, and pranayama breathing calm the mind and protect the body from stress-induced imbalances that weaken hair over time.

Nutrition

Nutrition is equally important, and a balanced diet is crucial for maintaining vibrant hair. Ayurveda recommends foods that balance Pitta and nourish deeper tissues, such as:

· Leafy greens

· Citrus fruits and berries

· Okra (ladyfinger)

· Melons - hydrating, mineral-rich, easy to digest, and supportive of deeper tissue nourishment

· Amla (Indian gooseberry) - a potent superfood that supports growth, strengthens roots, and restores shine, whether consumed or applied in treatments

Dr. Murthy also suggests prioritizing alkalizing foods (those that become alkaline after digestion), as they help balance digestion and support both bone and hair health.

Topical Care and Oiling

Topical care complements this inner balance. The scalp’s superficial tissues, much like the skin, are 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 Invigorating Scalp & Hair Oil, inspired by the traditional Bringadi ritual, combines Bhringaraj, Indigo, and Balloon Vine to deeply nourish the scalp. Clinically proven to boost scalp nourishment by 50% instantly and improve strength by 20%, it addresses common concerns, including 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, promoting hair growth, and imparting a natural, silky sheen to the hair.

Tools & Touch in Haircare

Ayurveda also values tools and touch as part of haircare, recommending regular brushing to stimulate blood flow at the roots. The Kansa Scalp Massage Brush, a modern adaptation of an ancient practice, enhances circulation, improves absorption of oils, and relieves tension.

With bristles centered around a kansa metal dome made of copper and tin, the brush helps detoxify the scalp, supports oxygen absorption, and provides a calming, grounding effect, turning haircare routine into a mindful, stress-relieving ritual.

A Complete Ayurvedic Hair Ritual

A balanced haircare routine combines both inner and outer nourishment:

· Weekly oil massages

· Regular hair brushing · Gentle cleansing with natural shampoos

· Deep conditioning with Ayurvedic conditioners

· Protective serums

· A balanced diet and stress-relieving practices

· Avoiding over-washing or using products laden with harsh chemicals

Together, these practices nurture scalp health, strengthen roots, and transform the quality of hair, leaving it strong, glossy, and resilient.

Ayurveda’s Long-Term Approach

In a world filled with chemical-laden products and quick fixes, Ayurveda stands apart. It addresses not just the symptoms of hair concerns but also the root causes, offering long-term solutions that are both effective and holistic.

Healthy hair is not built overnight. It comes from consistent care, balance, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. Ayurveda teaches that beauty begins from within, and by following these principles, you can strengthen your hair and restore harmony to both mind and body.

Kansa Brush 101: Ayurveda’s Luxury Tool for Scalp Health and Hair Wellness

Luxury haircare in India is undergoing a quiet revolution, one that draws inspiration from age-old traditions to create tools for modern beauty rituals. At the heart of this change is the Kansa Brush, Kama Ayurveda’s latest innovation, which brings together centuries of Ayurvedic healing practices with the needs of today’s wellness-conscious consumer.

What Makes the Kansa Brush Unique?

Unlike ordinary scalp brushes, the Kansa Brush is inspired by 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 are not passive but are active conductors of energy (they are believed to transmit energy within the body).

· 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.”

Every stroke of the brush does more than improve scalp comfort. It also boosts vitality at a cellular level.

Benefits of Regular Use

· Healthier, Fuller Hair:

Regular use of the Kansa Brush enhances blood circulation to the roots, ensuring that essential nutrients reach the hair follicles and supporting healthier, fuller-looking hair.

· Stress Relief and Energy Balance:

The scalp contains several vital marma points, and massaging them with the Kansa Brush has a calming, reflexology-like effect. This helps reduce stress, release tension, and rebalance energy systems, addressing issues such as hair fall, premature graying, and thinning. At a time when stress is one of the leading causes of hair damage, this ritual becomes as much a form of self-care as it is haircare.

· Enhanced Oil Absorption: When paired with Kama Ayurveda’s Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, the Kansa Brush transforms the traditional oiling ritual into a luxurious haircare experience. The brush distributes oil evenly across the scalp and strands while enhancing absorption and ensuring that the benefits of Bhringaraj, Indigo, and Balloon Vine reach deep into the roots. With regular use, this combination restores balance, strengthens hair, and promotes long-term scalp health.

· A Holistic Ritual:

Even on dry hair, the Kansa Brush can be used as a grounding ritual at the end of a long day, helping to ease mental fatigue and quiet the mind. With its sacred metal composition, antimicrobial properties, and therapeutic value, it becomes more than a tool. It is a ritual of renewal for both hair and overall well-being.

3 Ways to Use the Kansa Brush

● Hair-Oiling Boost:

After applying Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, use the Kansa Brush to distribute the oil evenly from 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 brush as a gentle exfoliator to detox the scalp, remove product buildup, and lift impurities.

● Mind Relaxation:

Whenever needed, gently massage your dry scalp with the Kansa Brush to relieve tension and calm the mind.

With its unique composition of sacred metal, antimicrobial properties, and therapeutic value, the Kansa Brush is 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.

Bhringaraj: The Ayurvedic Herb Transforming Haircare in India

Some herbs quietly exist in the background of Ayurveda, while 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 ability to strengthen roots, delay graying, and revive thinning strands. Today, it remains one of the most trusted ingredients in natural haircare in India, valued 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 but earned. This herb is renowned for its ability to:

· Deeply nourish the scalp

· Strengthen follicles

· Restore shine

Modern life, however, constantly challenges scalp health. Stress, pollution, and imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas often lead to premature graying , breakage, and excessive hair fall.

Bhringaraj’s natural richness, including phytonutrients, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds, helps counter these effects by:

· Calming an irritated scalp

· Improving blood circulation

· Preventing dandruff

· Restoring resilience to tired, stressed hair

A Holistic Approach to Hair and Wellness

Ayurvedic medicine emphasizes the power of combining 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 combination forms the key ingredient in our signature Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil, as well as the Bringaras Shampoo & Conditioner. Benefits of regular use include:

· Supporting overall hair health

· Improving scalp blood circulation

· Alleviating tension throughout the body

One of Ayurveda’s core philosophies is synergy, where herbs work better together. In the Bringaras range, Bhringaraj strengthens roots and nourishes, Indigo soothes the scalp, and Balloon Vine balances and protects. Together, these herbs form a complete ritual of haircare products, including oils, shampoos, conditioners, serums, and masks, formulated to support hair growth, scalp balance, and long-term strength.

Regular use of Bringaras Scalp & Hair Oil:

· Improves scalp circulation

· Strengthens roots

· Brings visible shine

· Reduces hair fall and breakage

· Delays premature graying · Soothes irritation and prevents dandruff

· Adds softness and smoothness to strands

· Nourishes and revitalizes tired, stressed hair

It’s a ritual that transforms hair and calms the mind.

More Than Just Beauty: A Natural Healer

Bhringaraj is often called an anti-aging herb because of 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

· Promote deeper, more restful sleep

When taken as a supplement, Bhringaraj has additional health benefits:

· Aid in liver detoxification

· Improve vision (thanks to high beta-carotene content)

· Fight harmful microbes and parasites

Purify the blood and assist in toxin breakdown

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.Follow with the Bringaras Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner for daily freshness, or indulge in the Bringaras Hair Mask weekly for repair. To finish, smooth on the Bringaras Shine Serum, a modern Ayurvedic solution for instant gloss and heat protection.

All Hail the King of Hair

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.

Embracing the Ancient Indian Art of Hair Oiling with Bringaras: A Ritual for Healthy, Lustrous Hair

Inspired by 2,000 years of Ayurveda, hair oiling has been at the heart of Indian beauty rituals. For generations, women and men have turned to this practice to nurture strong, glossy hair and a healthy scalp. Today, as the world embraces traditional self-care, this ancient ritual is reclaiming its place in India’s natural haircare scene.

Why Hair Oiling is Essential for Hair and Scalp Health

When you infuse your scalp with the nourishing power of Ayurvedic oils, the benefits go far beyond shine. Regular hair oiling:

· Stimulates blood circulation

· Strengthens hair follicles

· Delivers vital nutrients directly to the roots These actions help reduce hair fall, slow premature greying, prevent dandruff, and minimize 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 that the scalp holds vital marma points (energy centers), making oiling both therapeutic and rejuvenating.

The Tradition of Sneha: Hair Oiling as an Act of Love

In India, hair oiling is more than just self-care. It is a cherished ritual of love passed down through generations. The Sanskrit word sneha translates to both “oil” and “love,” reflecting the deep 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: Ayurvedic Strength for Your Hair

At Kama Ayurveda, Bringaras is our Ayurvedic expert for complete scalp and hair health, inspired by the traditional Bringadi oiling ritual.

Home Remedies For Dry Skin – 10 Ways To Soothe Dryness

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. 

2. Mukhabhyanga with Urjasara Facial Oil

Urjasara Facial Oil goes beyond hydration by repairing the skin’s barrier, ensuring long-lasting moisture retention. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

8. Drink Plenty Of Water

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.

10.  Consider Using A Humidifier

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.

Which Is The Best Anti-Aging Cream In India?

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.

    How To Use Anti-Aging Creams?

    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.

    4. Which Anti-Aging Ingredients Are Best For Skin?

    Ingredients like Retinol, Green Tea, Jojoba oil, Biotin, Caffeine, Hyaluronic acid, Kojic acid, Vitamins C, E, K, Plant Stem Cells and Lotus are some of the best anti-ageing ingredients.

    5. How Often Can One Use An Anti-Aging Cream?

    Generally, it is recommended to include an anti-aging cream into the daily morning routine and as well as the nighttime skincare routine for optimum results.

    6. Does Anti-Aging Skincare Work?

    It is scientifically proven and dermatologically tested that in the long run, regular usage of anti-aging products helps maintain youthful and radiant skin. However, no cream can completely stop this process since aging is phenomenal.

    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.

    Best Night Skin Care Routine – 5-Step Guide As Per The Experts

    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.

    Step 3: Tone

    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.

    Final Words

    Just like how cleansing and applying sunscreen before stepping out are crucial for healthy skin, repairing the damage caused to your skin during the daytime at night is absolutely necessary. 

    If you want to wake up with skin that is glowing and beautiful, it is imperative to build and practice a regular nighttime skincare routine that cleanses, nourishes and replenishes your skin so that it will stay healthy all the time.

    “This is an amazing 100% Ayurvedic anti-ageing product. I mostly apply it at night and by morning my skin looks super soft, nourished and healthy. It’s almost like I had a facial last night.

    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.

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.”

    “Working more than 8 hours daily in a PPE / N95 really took a toil on my skin, bad acne with PIH, I have been using this for about 10 days now - not only have I not gotten any new breakout but it has also visibly diminished my hyper-pigmented marks.

    Kumkumadi Thailam Before And After Testimonies

My 50+ year old skin actually glows.” - Laxmi 

    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. 

    Kumkumadi Thailam Clinical Trial Reviews
