The Christmas tree is bright and lit up in the living room. The Christmas party invites have been sent out. The only thing left is to pick some last minute supplies to throw the most stunning Christmas party, here are our two cents to protect yourself from the brutal winters that are upon us this season. And we don’t just mean a jacket to protect you from the cold but a moisture shield to protect your body, hair and face.
Winter skincare is super crucial to protect your body skin, facial skin and hair from cold and dry conditions. Dry skin, chapped lips, brittle hair, dry scalp, etc. are some of the ways winter harms your skin even on those cozy days when you are sipping hot cocoa while watching your favorite rom-com (Love Actually).
What your body needs when the temperature drops is a little bit of hydration and a little bit of moisturization. Yes they are two different concepts and you need two different solutions to protect your skin and keep it healthy. Hydration restores the lost moisture in your skin while moisturization retains the moisture in the skin and creates a protective barrier.
INDIMODA Ayurvedic Oils for winter:
At INDIMODA we have developed oils to keep your body moisturized from head to toe. Each oil has been made following an Ayurvedic Thailam process of preparing a herbal decoction of real plant ingredients (not extracts) which is slow cooked and then infusion into sesame oil. Since our oils follow a traditional recipe, each oil has been slowly cooked for a couple of days for most nutritive oil.
Lavender Facial Oil:
Cold air outside, hot air inside and dry air everywhere else is sure to have most effect on your facial skin more than any other part of the body. This has simply because the facial skin is thinner than your body skin and hence prone to more adverse effects from environment changes. Our Facial oil, infused with Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari, Bala, Anantamool, etc. will not just moisturize the facial skin but also gently clear dark spots, fight skin ageing and smoothen the skin. The little drop of Lavender essential oil calms your nerves and rejuvenates your mind.
How to use our oil - Take a few drops of our INDIMODA facial oil and massage it directly on washed face in an upward motion. Massage gently on face and neck paying close attention to the area around the eyes. We recommend applying our facial oil every night before bedtime to wake up with softer skin in the morning.
Rose & Cardamom Body Oil:
The cool temperatures your body skin can become dry, cracked and painful if not taken care with regular moisturization. Oils prove to be the ideal solution even over lotions (too clogging), if applied properly and regularly on entire body. One of the key Ayurvedic practice is Abhyanga or self-massage/self-care. It entails massaging your body on a regular basis to moisturize your skin, tone the muscles and detox the skin. Our Rose & Cardamom Body Oil was formulated with the idea to revolutionize a self body massage to not just moisturize but to promote skin longevity. Our Body oil has been infused with herbs like Shatavari, Bala, Rose Oil, Ashwagandha, etc. the firms up the body while reliving skin of toxins and building a moisture protective layer.
How to use our oil - One of those ‘ME’ days, spend 30 minutes or longer massaging our body massage oil on full body before a shower. Take your time to massage the oil over your hands, legs, etc. applying pressure to tone muscles and relax the body. On other days, use our oil as you would use any lotion after your shower. Our oil is a quick absorbent that leaves no trace of stickiness post application.
Herbal Hair Oil:
Just like your skin, your hair also loses moisture and looks parched with the cold winds. The scalp becomes dry and/or the hair become frizzy beyond control. The harsh winter can cause severe damage to your hair as it is in constant contact with the elements. Hence during winters hair needs extra protection and care. INDIMODA’s Hair oil is one stop solution for luscious soft hair with a healthy scalp. Infused with powerful herbs like Brahmi, Bhringaraj, Amla, Hibiscus Flowers, etc. our oil nourishes the hair, conditions the hair, cleanses the scalp and strengthen the hair. Our Hair oil will restore the luster and bounce in your hair in a natural way without the use of any chemicals.
How to use our oil - To apply our hair oil, heat it for 30 seconds in the microwave to warm it up. Apply on the scalp with the use of a cotton ball to protect your fingers from burning. Gently massage your scalp to ensure the oil penetrates into the scalp. For best results, keep the oil in your hair overnight and wash it off the next day using our Shampoo Bar. You can also shower 30 mins after applying the oil if you are short on time.
While you are preparing your Christmas party menu, we recommend you prepare your winter skincare and haircare menu as well. Glow this holiday season by investing in our range of Ayurvedic oils that will rejuvenate your body, mind and soul.
