Hello I get how annoying and painful it can be when your hands are super dry and cracked, your skin is peeling, your lips hurt, and everything just feels tight. It sucks when creams don’t even help! It’s usually not just a surface thing – it’s often coming from something deeper inside your body. The good news is Ayurveda can help figure it out and fix it. Don’t worry, it can be fixed! YOUR CONCERN – Your hands are seriously dry and cracked and bleed. – Your skin is peeling. – Your lips are dry and hurt. – Creams don’t do anything. – It gets worse when it’s cold. – How long: 1–4 weeks WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS: It’s called Vata-Pitta Dushti with Rasa Dhatu Kshaya, which basically means: – Cold weather makes Vata worse. – Vata sucks the moisture out of your skin. – Pitta makes you burn, peel, and crack. – Rasa Dhatu (your body’s fluids) isn’t strong, so your skin can’t hold onto oil and water. So, even if you drink tons of water, it’s not really getting to your skin. WHY THIS HAPPENS: – Too much tea/coffee – Skipping meals – Stress – Being out in the cold – Eating dry, spicy, or processed stuff –Not enough lubrication inside Creams won’t fix it because the dryness is coming from the inside. WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO DO: – Stop the cracking and bleeding – Get moisture back inside – Heal your lips and hands –Keep it from coming back in the winter WHAT AYURVEDA CAN DO: 1.Mahatikta Ghrita ½ teaspoon twice a day before eating (Helps your skin and calms things down) 2. Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice a day after eating (Cleans your liver and helps your skin heal) 3.Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice a day after eating (Helps your skin grow back) 4. Avipattikar Churna ½ tsp at night with warm water (Cools you down and gets rid of dryness inside) TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF (Important!) At night – Mix ghee (cow butter) with coconut oil – Put a thick layer on your hands and lips – Wear cotton gloves – Don’t wash your hands too much with soap WHAT TO EAT: –Ghee – Warm milk –Rice –Moong dal –Vegetable soups –Dates – Coconut ❌ AVOID – Tea/coffee – Biscuits, bakery stuff – Dry foods – Super spicy food – Cold drinks HOW LONG UNTIL IT GETS BETTER? –Cracking should stop in about a week or so. –Your skin should feel soft again in 3–4 weeks. This isn’t just a skin problem – it’s a Vata-Pitta dryness thing. Once you get the lubrication back inside, your skin will get better on its own. You’ll start feeling better soon!

Use a gentle herbal cleanser to cleanse the face and neck; then apply a hydrating serum. Follow this up with a strong sunscreen - this is a must, even during winter, as UV rays are likely to be harsh in winter. (For the night routine, you might want to add a few drops of Kumkumadi Oil and leave out the sunscreen.) Check out specific Ayurvedic remedies for winter skin care, but bear in mind that these must be matched to individual constitutions (prakriti), and are therefore best undertaken under a vaidya’s guidance. Herbs and formulations that may be consumed to reduce dryness, inflammation, and toxins in the system include Ghritam, Haridrakhandam, Khadirarishtam, Brahma Rasayanam, and Triphala. These should be taken as recommended by an Ayurvedic doctor.Medicated oils, ghee, and herbal creams are recommended for external use to restore moisture and reduce itching. Time-tested legacy Ayurvedic brands are a good choice for medicated oils and ghee. Preventive routines focus on strengthening the skin barrier, calming Vata, detoxifying the system, and pacifying inflammatory responses. • Practising Ayurvedic oil-pulling therapy helps prevent facial dryness and clears toxins from the oral cavity. This involves swishing warm sesame oil in the mouth before morning brushing and then spitting it out. • Applying oil to the navel helps moisturise the abdomen and supports overall nourishment.Best Products For Winter Skincare As per Ayurveda are chemical-free and natural, enriched with herbs, oils, and plant extracts. These nourish the skin instead of stripping moisture. Products containing coconut oil, Aloe vera, sesame oil, Kumkumadi oil, and gentle natural emollients protect the barrier, prevent dryness, and soothe irritation. Choosing formulations aligned with your skin type and dosha helps maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout winter.
