Winter Skin & Hair Care: Ayurvedic Daily Routine to Prevent Dryness and Hair Fall

Winter brings relief from the harsh summer heat. However, the season change also brings its own set of skin and hair problems. We get to experience cold air, low humidity, and hot showers that strip natural moisture from the body. 

In winter, we start getting dry skin, flaky scalp, dull hair, and increased hair fall. Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic living, offers simple yet effective daily rituals to protect your skin and hair during the winter months. Without relying on chemical-heavy products, you can keep your skin and hair fresh by adopting MAPL’s ayurvedic products. Check these Ayurvedic skin and hair care products from MAPL. 

Understanding Winter Imbalance in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, winter aggravates Vata dosha, which is dry, cold, and rough by nature. When Vata goes out of balance, it manifests as dryness, cracking, itching, and hair fall. The key to winter care is nourishment, oiling, and gentle detoxification, both externally and internally. Along with that, a dose of Ayurveda for faster, and better results. 

Ayurvedic Morning Routine for Winter

Start your day with Abhyanga, a warm oil massage that deeply nourishes the skin and scalp. This ritual improves blood circulation, strengthens hair roots, and prevents dryness.

Massage the scalp with Bhringraj Ayurvedic Hair Oil or Keshgromex Hair Oil, known in Ayurveda for reducing hair fall and supporting hair growth. Hair fall during winter is often linked to dryness in the scalp and poor nutrient intake. 

Regular scalp massage helps restore balance and boost circulation. Try MAPL Keshghaney Capsule to naturally strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding. Pair it with warm oiling twice a week using castor or coconut-based herbal oils for best results.

For skin, use nourishing oils like Almond Oil or Castor Oil to lock in moisture and maintain skin elasticity. Leave the oil on for 20–30 minutes before bathing. Avoid very hot water, as it further dries out the skin and scalp. Use lukewarm water and mild, herbal cleansers. Over-washing hair in winter should be avoided—2 times a week is usually sufficient.

Midday Care: Nourish from Within

Healthy skin and hair start from inside. Include warm, freshly cooked foods like soups, khichdi, seasonal vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Ayurvedic supplements such as Moringa Capsules and powder help provide essential nutrients, support immunity, and improve skin and hair health naturally during winter. Drink warm water or herbal teas to maintain hydration, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Avoid harsh soaps. Instead, use herbal or cream-based cleansers infused with turmeric or sandalwood. Use lukewarm water rather than hot. After your bath, apply a few drops of almond or castor oil to still-damp skin to preserve hydration.

Favor warm, ghee-laden meals, cooked vegetables, whole grains, and soaked nuts. Ayurveda recommends adding spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to ignite metabolism and prevent internal dryness.

Evening & Weekly Ayurvedic Care

Once a week, treat your skin and hair with natural Ayurvedic packs:

• Multani Mitti Powder mixed with rose water or milk helps gently cleanse the skin without drying it.
• For scalp care, oils like Kalonji Oil or Red Onion Hair Growth Oil can be applied weekly to strengthen hair follicles and reduce breakage. You can buy all these oils, and lower from MAPL ayurveda. 
  
  

Before sleeping, apply a few drops of Kumkum Almond Oil on the face to combat dryness and promote a natural glow. For scalp issues like itching or dandruff, Neem Oil or Neemoright Oil can be used occasionally for their purifying properties.

Ayurveda works best when followed consistently. Small daily habits like oil massage, mindful eating, and herbal care can make a noticeable difference in just a few weeks. Products crafted using traditional Ayurvedic methods, like those from MAPL Herbal, blend ancient wisdom with modern lifestyles, making it easier to follow these routines daily.

This winter, let Ayurveda be your everyday companion for natural, long-lasting care. 

By adopting these simple rituals with ayurvedic hair and skin care products and supporting your body with herbal nourishment, your glow can withstand even the harshest winter breeze.
