Face Creams

Q: How do I choose the right face cream for my concern?

Choose your face cream by the concern you most want to address, then by your skin type, since the herb that leads the formula sets its purpose.Dullness: saffron and turmeric creams for glow.Dryness and fine lines: almond, kumkumadi-rich creams.Breakouts: neem and tulsi creams.Sensitivity and heat: sandalwood and aloe creams.

Q: What is the difference between a day cream and a night cream?

A day cream is light and protective, made to sit under sunscreen and makeup, while a night cream is richer and more active, supporting the skin's natural repair as you sleep. Day formulas favour hydration and a non-greasy finish; night formulas lean on nourishing oils and rejuvenating herbs like kumkumadi. Using the right one at the right time means lightness when you need it and deep nourishment when the skin can best use it.

Q: Can one face cream work for both morning and night?

A balanced, medium-weight herbal cream can certainly serve morning and night for normal skin, especially if you add sun protection by day. The simplest effective routine is often one good cream used twice daily, with a few drops of facial oil pressed in at night when skin wants more. Only dry, mature, or concern-specific skin truly benefits from separate day and night formulas; for many, one well-chosen cream is plenty.

Q: How much face cream should I actually use?

A pea-sized amount is enough for the whole face and neck; more does not moisturise better, it simply sits on the surface and can clog pores.Dot the pea-sized amount across forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.Spread with gentle upward strokes until absorbed.Wait before layering sunscreen or makeup.If your skin still feels tight, it wants a richer cream, not a thicker layer.

Q: Which Ayurvedic herbs in a face cream do what?

Knowing the lead herbs lets you read any Ayurvedic cream at a glance.Saffron (kumkuma), "the golden queen," for radiance and even tone.Sandalwood (chandan), cooling and calming.Manjistha, for clarity and an even complexion.Aloe and almond, for hydration and softness.

Q: Do face creams expire, and how should I store them?

Yes, natural face creams do expire, often within six to twelve months of opening, because they contain fewer synthetic preservatives than mass-market products. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sun, close the lid tightly, and use clean fingers or a small spatula to avoid introducing bacteria. If a cream changes colour, smell, or texture, retire it. A small jar finished fresh beats a giant tub gone stale.

Q: Can men use Ayurvedic face creams too?

Absolutely, the dosha and skin-type logic is the same for everyone, and Ayurvedic face creams suit men well, particularly after shaving when sandalwood- or aloe-based creams soothe and hydrate freshly exposed skin. Men's typically oilier skin often prefers the lighter formulas. The woody, herbal fragrances of sandalwood and vetiver are naturally unisex, so there is no need for a separate "men's" product, only the right one for the skin.
