Our 100% natural, chemical-free and herbal formulations are crafted from potent herbs and healing oils. Now let us explore the calming bedtime routine that will induce sound sleep and keep the skin soft.

Let's check out India's 5000-year-old science of beauty and holistic care:

Step 1: Cleanse & unwind

Start your nighttime skincare routine with the Kumkumadi Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm to gently remove makeup residue, excess oil, and daily impurities. The balm is recommended for daily use, as it deeply cleanses pores, dissolves buildup, and hydrates the skin cells. Take a coin-sized amount, massage onto dry face and neck, add a little water to emulsify, and rinse off. No face wash needed; your skin will be ready to absorb the next skincare products.

Step 2: Tone & purity

Gently spray pure rose water onto your face and neck, or apply with a cotton pad. Allow it to absorb fully to prep the skin for creams and serums.

Step 3: Deep skin nourishment

Use the Kumkumadi Face Cream or Face Oil to lock in moisture and rejuvenate skin cells. Apply a small amount of cream and gently massage in upward strokes. Or add 2–3 drops of Kumkumadi Face Oil to activate overnight rejuvenation.

Step 4: Soften & hydrate lips

Apply the Kumkumadi Lip Balm to lips before bed for soft, nourished and hydrated skin. Formulated using inclusions such as shea butter, castor oil, carnauba wax, Vitamin E oil, Kumkumadi oil and almond oil - Kumkumadi lip balm improves lip texture by up to 3x.

Step 5: Hydrate & moisture the body

Massage the Kumkumadi Body Lotion Apply in circular, upward strokes all over your body. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and shoulders. Results in brighter skin, reduces pigmentation, and fades tan and uneven tone.

Step 6: Nourish the scalp & hair

Take the desired amount of WeHerbal's Natural Oil and gently massage the scalp. The rich blend of carrier oils will nourish the scalp and strengthen the locks while you sleep.

Step 7: Rest & Restore

Last but not least, your mind, body and soul need a good night's rest. Brew yourself a hot cup of herbal tea and sip it as you read your favourite novel. Once you feel completely relaxed, dim the lights, put on your eye mask, and go to sleep. The next day, wake up fresh, hydrated and energetic.

However, this nighttime routine can stay effective only if you follow a consistent and healthy routine for the daytime (known as Dinacharya in Ayurveda). Now, let us check out the reasons behind unhealthy sleeping habits and increased vata dosha.

Sleep issues arise from high vata dosha, which results in restlessness, anxiety, loneliness and an overactive nervous system. For a balanced vata dosha, it is necessary to follow a healthy diet, exercise daily and implement Ayurveda sleep rules.

Ayurveda Sleep Rules

There are a few other things to consider for improving the quality of your sleep. Below are a few things to keep in mind as per Ayurveda sleeping rules:

• Ayurveda highly recommends getting to bed by 10:00 pm when the Kapha dosha is dominant.
• It is recommended to have your dinner before sunset.
• Say no to blue screens and mindless scrolling after 9 p.m.
• Darken the room before falling asleep and use lightly fragranced oils or scents for a relaxed environment.
• Avoid afternoon naps.
• You can consume ashwagandha milk or golden milk (traditional turmeric milk with spices).
• Go for a short walk after dinner for ease of digestion. (For approximately 20 minutes)
• Most importantly, you should ideally go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to manage Vata dosha.

These small changes can have a significant effect on your sleep quality and schedule. In case you're struggling with maintaining your sleep schedule, you can adopt a few habits: Use a lavender-scent pillow mist, massage your foot with clarified butter before unwinding your day and eat light, nourished and non-spicy dinner.
