Include Turmeric in Your Diet

Turmeric is the perfect spice for the colder months. Consuming turmeric, whether as a supplement or as turmeric milk, benefits your skin inside out.

Oil Massages

Self-massage with oil is an ancient practice that not only moisturises the body but also improves circulation, reduces stress and calms the mind.

Practice Yoga

Yoga has amazing benefits for the physical health of your skin. Most of the asanas help in increasing blood flow to the skin, thereby leading to the production of necessary oils in your skin.

Take Care of Your Feet

Soak your feet in a warm bath with dry ginger or any combination of essential oils. After soaking for at least 10 minutes, use a moist pumice stone to remove all the dead skin cells.

Support Your Scalp

Dandruff is common in winter, it is a sign that the scalp lacks blood flow. Spending a few extra minutes every evening massaging your scalp with oil brings blood flow back.

Eat Vata-Pacifying Foods

To fully support your skin from the inside out, it’s important to enkindle your agni (digestive fire). In winter, vata-pacifying foods like warm soups, stews and chillies can help keep the digestive fire functioning at its best.
