Without proper care, this imbalance can weaken the skin’s natural barrier, making it more prone to irritation and dullness. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Govind, Chief Innovation Officer at Kapiva, shared, “By embracing time-tested Ayurvedic practices, you can nurture your skin effectively and restore its balance during the colder months. Ayurvedic skincare for cold season focuses on warmth, moisture and gentle nourishment—balancing Vata and shielding the skin from environmental stressors.”

He added, “Vata is the dosha responsible for movement and circulation in the body and when aggravated, it can strip the skin of essential moisture. Using deeply hydrating oils, nutrient-rich botanicals and soothing rituals, you can maintain soft, resilient skin all season long.”

Warm the oil slightly before application to enhance absorption and create a soothing experience—perfect for chilly mornings or a relaxing evening ritual.
