Say goodbye to winter dullness with these expert skincare tips

Keeping skin hydrated and fresh in winters is vital; here are five easy tips to keep in mind to combat dullness and dryness.

Winters can be especially harsh on your skin, making it feel dry, flaky, and dull. As temperatures drop and humidity levels fall, your skin loses moisture more quickly, making a well-rounded seasonal routine essential. To help you stay glowing through the colder months, skincare and Ayurvedic expert Vaishnavi Taneja recently shared a set of simple yet highly effective winter-care practices on her Instagram (@vaishnavvi.taneja).

Say goodbye to winter dullness with these expert skincare tips.

These rituals focus on deep nourishment, internal hydration, and gentle external care.

Add ghee daily

According to Vaishnavi, incorporating ghee into your daily routine can work wonders. A teaspoon of ghee mixed with warm water or milk helps lubricate and nourish the skin tissues from the inside out. Because ghee is rich in healthy fats, it supports smoother, softer skin and prevents the dryness and dullness that winter often brings.

Include sweet and moist fruits

She also recommends adding naturally sweet, moist fruits like dates, raisins, and figs to your diet. These foods not only provide essential minerals and antioxidants but also enhance internal hydration. They help maintain your skin’s elasticity and natural glow by replenishing moisture at a cellular level.

Oil massage daily

Vaishnavi suggests avoiding harsh soaps during winter. Instead, opt for raw milk or a mild ubtan to cleanse the skin. These natural cleansers remove impurities without stripping away essential oils, keeping the skin balanced and moisturised.

Apply a nourishing face pack

To give your skin an extra boost, prepare a face pack using liquorice (mulethi) powder or powdered oats mixed with rich flour, honey, aloe vera gel, and milk. This blend soothes dryness, evens out texture, and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and deeply nourished.
