From Glow to Dew: My AM & PM Routine with Kumkumadi and Hydration Serum
3 min read
Skincare is no longer just a trend—it’s a daily ritual that helps me reconnect with myself. Over the past year, I’ve experimented with dozens of products, from high-end serums to clean beauty oils. But nothing has given me consistent results like the duo of Kumkumadi face oil, and a hydration serum blended by Hamsa Radiance. One brings ancient wisdom; the other, modern science. Together, they transformed my skincare routine from basic to balanced.
Here’s a peek into my morning and evening routine using these two powerhouse products—plus how they’ve helped me achieve both glow and dew.
Morning Routine: Dewy, Hydrated, and Fresh
Mornings are all about hydration, protection, and preparing my skin for the day ahead. I keep things simple but effective.
Step 1: Cleanse Gently
I use a mild, sulfate-free cleanser to remove overnight oil and sweat. Since I have combination skin, I opt for something that cleans without stripping my natural moisture.
Step 2: Hydration Serum
While my skin is still slightly damp, I apply 2–3 drops of hydration face serum with hyaluronic acid and glycerin. This gives me that “glass skin” look—instantly plump and smooth. It soaks in quickly and never feels sticky.
Step 3: Lightweight Moisturizer + Sunscreen
I seal everything with a gel-based moisturizer, followed by SPF 50. Since I avoid oils during the day to prevent shininess, I skip Kumkumadi oil in the morning unless my skin is feeling especially dry (usually in winter).
Evening Routine: Nourish, Repair, Glow
Evenings are for recovery and deeper treatment. This is where Kumkumadi face oil shows its shine—literally and figuratively.
Step 1: Double Cleanse
I start with an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup and sunscreen, followed by a gentle foaming cleanser to wash everything away.
Step 2: Hydration Serum
Again, I apply my hydration serum on slightly damp skin. Nighttime is when your skin naturally loses more water, so adding this layer ensures it stays hydrated through the night.
Step 3: KumkumadiFace Oil Massage
Once the serum is absorbed (about 1–2 minutes), I take 2–3 drops of Kumkumadi face oil in my palms, warm it up slightly, and press it into my skin. On weekends, I take a few extra minutes to gently massage it in using upward strokes.
This oil is more than a moisturizer—it’s a treatment. It’s packed with saffron, sandalwood, and other herbs that target pigmentation, dullness, and fine lines. Over time, it has visibly evened out my skin tone and added a soft, radiant glow.
Why This Combo Works So Well
- Hydration serum pulls moisture into the skin
- Kumkumadi oil seals in hydration and repairs overnight
- Using both prevents dryness and dullness, especially in changing weather
- My makeup applies better, and I now feel confident enough to go foundation-free
This routine gives me the dew in the morning and the glow by night—without overwhelming my skin.
A Few Lessons I’ve Learned
Less is more. You don’t need 10 steps. These two products cover the entire skin needs.
Consistence matters. Visible results with Kumkumadi oil took about 3 weeks—but were well worth the wait.
Choose quality. Not all Kumkumadi oils are the same as they differ based on the ingredients. Look for products with minimal fillers and authentic Ayurvedic preparation.
Final Thoughts
If you’re someone who wants a simple yet effective skincare routine that blends the best of both worlds, this AM and PM combo might just be your answer. The hydration serum keeps your skin quenched, while Kumkumadi oil works overnight to restore your natural glow.
In a world full of flashy ingredients and fleeting trends, this duo is a reminder that sometimes the best skincare is timeless, and science backed.
