The crisp air of the changing season may make our skin feel dry, tight and weak. In Ayurveda, cold weather is seen as a season that accelerates the dry properties of vata, which can cause dehydration, layering and premature aging.

In an interview with HT lifestyle, Kapiva Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Govind shared, “By embracing time-tested Ayurvedic practices, you can effectively nourish your skin and restore its balance during cold months. Ayurvedic skincare for cold weather focuses on heat, moisture and gentle nutrition – voting for vata and preserving the skin with environmental stresses. ,
He said, “Vata is a dosa responsible for movement and circulation in the body and when enlarged, it can snatch the skin of the required moisture. Using deep hydrating oils, nutrient -rich botanicals and soothing rituals, you can maintain soft, flexible skin in all seasons.”
