how to use kumkumadi oil - #25162

Theodore

I am dealing with this skin issue for a while now, you know? I've heard a lot about kumkumadi oil and its benefits, but I'm kinda lost on how to use kumkumadi oil properly. I started using it a week back because my skin has been looking dull and patchy, especially since the weather changed, and all those breakout scars just won’t fade! I took the plunge after reading about how to use kumkumadi oil but ended up just putting a few drops on my fingers and rubbing it directly onto my face before bed. Was that right? Some friends say to mix it with my moisturizer, while others swear by a face massage technique. Like, do I need to apply it on a clean face or after my serum?? And I wonder is it better in the morning or at night? Ugh, I just want clear skin!!! I also have this friend who uses it and her skin is glowing, it’s motivating me, but I’m worried I’m not doing it right. How to use kumkumadi oil for best results? Any tips would be super helpful, thanks!

Using Kumkumadi oil can indeed be a game-changer for revitalizing your skin, especially with its rich blend of ingredients like saffron, sandalwood, and turmeric. Let’s clear up some of your doubts and ensure you’re getting the best results possible, given your current skin issues like dullness and acne scars.

Applying the oil on clean skin is essential. Its functions optimally when your skin can absorb it without any barriers like dirt or residual products. So, after cleansing your face thoroughly, pat it dry gently. After cleansing and drying your face, consider using a gentle toner if it’s part of your routine, then proceed to the oil application.

If you’re aiming for enhanced effects, especially for scar fading and brightening your complexion, nighttime application is ideal due to the body’s natural healing process during sleep. Start by taking 2-3 drops of Kumkumadi oil on your fingertips – more is not necessarily betterl.

Massaging it into the skin can be beneficial; gentle upward strokes and circular motions help in better absorption. Spending a few minutes in this process can also increase blood circulation, potentially aiding your skin’s glow over time. The idea of mixing it with your moisturizer isn’t universally necessary; typically, this oil is potent enough to stand alone, but if your skin feels too oily afterward, adjusting the quantity or trying this mix can work.

Monitor how it behaves with other products in your regimen, like serums, as these may affect absorption. Generally though, oils are best as the final step in the skincare lineup to seal everything if used in a multilayer routine.,

Remember, consistency is key with such products. If you are experiencing any irritation, reduce the application frequency to every alternate night or consult a dermatologist. Given your specific worries and how you mentioned the weather affecting your skin, it is important not to switch too rapidly between methods or products, your skin needs time to adapt.

Finally ensure you don’t expose your skin to the sun immediately after application, this isn’t typically daytime oil., Hope this helps, and you’re on your way to glowing skin again!
