how to use kumkumadi oil on face - #24131

Gabriel

I am really struggling with my skin lately, it's like I can't catch a break! I’ve heard a lot about kumkumadi oil, and I want to know how to use kumkumadi oil on face properly. Like, I read it’s supposed to help with dark spots and uneven skin tone, but I have no idea where to start. I tried it once but honestly, I just dabbed a little on before bed and woke up with my face feeling greasy. 😬 Do I need to wash my face first or just apply it straight? And what about the amount? It feels like a delicate balance, plus I’m worried about using too much. Also, do I mix it with something else or apply it alone? I really want to get this right because I'm tired of feeling self-conscious about my complexion. Been using a bunch of different products that didn’t work, and I keep hearing great stuff about kumkumadi oil. If anyone can share their tips on how to use kumkumadi oil on face effectively, that would really help. Thanks!

Let’s dive into how you can use kumkumadi oil for your skin concerns, especially since you’ve been having trouble with greasiness. First things first, yes, you should definitely wash your face before applying kumkumadi oil. This will help remove any dirt, makeup, or excess oil and allow the kumkumadi oil to penetrate deeper into the skin. Use a gentle cleaner that suits your skin type so as not to strip away the natural oils your skin needs.

Once your face is clean and pat dry, you can apply the oil. You don’t need a lot – just 3 to 4 drops should suffice, especially because using too much can lead to that greasy feeling you mentioned. Gently rub the oil between your palms, warming it up slightly, then pat it onto your face. Focus more on areas with uneven skin tone or dark spots. Remember, patting is more beneficial than rubbing it in aggressively, as it aids better absorption into the skin.

Kumkumadi oil can be applied alone, without mixing it with anything else. However, if you notice it’s still too oily for your liking, you might choose to mix it with a few drops of a lighter carrier oil like argan oil, which can dilute its richness without compromising its benefits.

Apply it at night before bed and leave it to work overnight while your skin rejuvenates. In the morning, wash your face gently again to remove any leftover oil. You don’t need to use it every single day starting out – try every other night or 3 times a week to see how your skin responds.

It’s really important to avoid layering too many other skincare products over it, as this can overwhelm your skin and could possibly block the effects of kumkumadi oil. Stick to a light routine: a suitable cleanser, the kumkumadi oil, and if necessary, a mild toner.

Look out for improvement over a few weeks, but remember that everyone’s skin is different. It may take a while to see noticeable changes. If you find any irritation or if your skin continues to feel overly oily, it might be worth consulting with a specialist who can tailor advice specifically to your skin type and condition.
