is kumkumadi oil good for oily skin - #25385
I am really confused about if is kumkumadi oil good for oily skin. I’ve had these issues with my skin for years. Oily skin, breakouts, you name it! Last week, I saw a friend with this gorgeous glow, and she mentioned she uses kumkumadi oil. I mean, I thought oils weren’t great for oily skin, right? But her skin looked amazing – like, did I miss something? Anyway, I bought some kumkumadi oil, and now I'm not sure if applying it will make things worse. I wash my face daily, like two times, and still, I feel greasy. Also, I sometimes get these dark spots from old acne – ugh! Has anyone tried kumkumadi oil on oily skin? What’s the experience like? Like, did it help or just cause more breakouts? Im really curious if is kumkumadi oil good for oily skin or if I should just stick to my regular stuff. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

What Are the Layers of the Skin, and How Do They Protect the Body? - #15929
I recently started learning more about skin health and I’m curious about how the layers of the skin work. Now I’m wondering—what exactly are the layers of the skin, and how do they protect the body? From what I understand, the skin is made up of three main layers—the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer. But what role does each layer play in protecting the body? How does the epidermis provide a barrier against harmful substances, and what happens in the dermis that helps the skin stay flexible and strong? I also read that the subcutaneous layer is responsible for storing fat and regulating temperature, but how does this affect the overall health of the skin? Does the health of one layer affect the others, or can each layer function independently? Since I believe in holistic health, I looked into Ayurveda’s perspective on skin care and protection. Are there Ayurvedic herbs, oils, or dietary recommendations that support the health of all skin layers and help prevent damage? I found that Aloe Vera, Turmeric, and Sesame Oil are often recommended—do these actually help in maintaining healthy skin? For those who have learned more about the layers of the skin, what insights have you gained about its protective functions? How do you care for each layer of skin to maintain overall health and prevent conditions like dryness, irritation, or infections? I’d love to hear real experiences on skin care and its connection to the body’s defense systems.
