Steps

  1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry with a soft towel. Leave your skin slightly damp so the next layers spread easily.

  2. Press a few drops of hydrating toner into your face and neck with your palms. Wait about 30 seconds, while your skin is still damp, before the oil.

  3. Warm 2 to 3 drops of kumkumadi face oil between your palms. This makes the oil easier to spread and helps you use less.

  4. Press the oil gently over your face and neck instead of rubbing it in. Add a little more to dry patches such as cheeks and around the nose.

  5. In the morning, use kumkumadi oil and finish with sunscreen. At night, swap it for a night repair oil if you have one.

  6. For very dry skin, mix a small amount of healing repair balm with your face oil in your palm. Use about a pea-sized amount of balm.

  7. Press the balm and oil mix onto the driest areas last, such as cheeks, chin and around the nose. Do not rub hard.

  8. Repeat the routine twice a day, or once at night if your skin is sensitive. Give it about a week before you judge the results.

Tips and common mistakes

Patch test a new oil or balm on your inner arm for 24 hours before using it on your face.

Apply oil to damp skin, not dry skin, so it traps water instead of sitting on top.

Use 2 to 3 drops only. More oil can feel greasy and may clog pores.

If your skin stings, turns red or feels tighter, stop the product and use a plain moisturiser.

Questions

Can I use kumkumadi oil every day?

Yes. Most people can use it once or twice a day. If your skin is sensitive, start with once at night and build up.

How much kumkumadi oil should I use?

Use 2 to 3 drops for the whole face and neck. Warm them between your palms first so the oil spreads evenly.

Can I mix healing repair balm with face oil?

Yes, for very dry or flaky patches. Mix a pea-sized amount of balm with your oil in your palm and press it on last.
