Charak Evenshade Cream appears promising, especially with ingredients known for improving uneven skin tone. However, given your sensitive skin, it’s wise to initially patch test to see how your skin reacts. Start with a small amount on an inconspicuous area, like behind the ear, to check for any adverse reactions over 24-48 hours.
Regarding frequency of application, sticking to the twice-a-day recommendation is generally advised unless you notice redness or irritation. Since it continues to feel dry, you may need to assess your entire skincare routine. It’s possible that along with the cream, you might benefit from enhancing your skin’s hydration barrier before applying the cream. Prepping the skin with a hydrating serum or a gentle herbal oil suited to your dosha can help in locking moisture, especially for vata-dominant dry skin.
Should dryness persist, consider integrating a few Ayurvedic practices. Neem and turmeric paste can help soothe and balance skin inflammation, considering their pitta-pacifying properties. Additionally, mind your diet—reducing pungent, spicy, and fried foods can prevent pitta aggravation that may be contributing to the skin issues.
Since you’ve mentioned sensitivity, be cautious about layering too many products. Keep your skincare routine simple and consistent. Ensure you’re using a gentle, natural cleanser—free from harsh chemicals that can strip your skin’s natural oils.
Finally, if the dryness increases or you see any signs of allergic reaction like itching or severe redness, consider discontinuing the cream and consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. Skin issues can sometimes be an external manifestation of internal imbalances, like poor digestion (agni) or stress, so addressing the root cause through diet, lifestyle modification, and stress management may also be necessary for long-term improvement.
