Ancient Glow & Modern Ritual
In an age where skincare trends come and go, one timeless ritual continues to prove its worth: Ayurvedic face oils. Rooted in centuries-old wisdom and perfected by generations of Indian grandmothers, these elixirs go beyond surface beauty. They nourish your skin from within, support long-term balance, and enhance your natural glow — all without synthetics or harsh chemicals.
At DaadiPlanet, this tradition takes tangible form through two deeply therapeutic blends:
Crafted from potent herbs, cow’s milk, and time-tested oils, these formulas are designed to moisturize, brighten, and rebalance your skin through the natural rhythms of day and night. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to use them, why they work, and how to build a radiant daily ritual around them.
What Makes Ayurvedic Face Oils Special?
Unlike modern serums or creams that often rely on isolated actives, Ayurvedic face oils are whole-herb infusions that work in synergy with your body’s internal balance (called dosha). These oils nourish all seven layers of skin (twacha), support detoxification, and penetrate deeply to heal dullness, dryness, inflammation, and premature aging.
DaadiPlanet’s oils embody this philosophy by blending:
- Base oils like sesame — known for deep tissue penetration
- Cooling and blood-purifying herbs like Manjishtha
- Soothing botanicals like Yashtimadhu (Licorice) and Mulethi
- Luminizing botanicals like Saffron and Cardamom
- Natural collagen enhancers like Lodhra and Mahua

How to Use the Oils for Maximum Glow
Both Varnyam and Kumudini follow the same 4-step ritual, but the time of day and intention differ.
🌞 Morning Routine with Varnyam (Day Oil)
Goal: Hydrate, brighten, protect skin during the day
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Gently cleanse your face with lukewarm water and a soft cleanser
Step 2: Take 3 drops of Varnyam in your palm and warm it by rubbing hands together
Step 3: Pat the oil lightly across your face and neck — avoid dragging
Step 4: Massage with upward strokes for 1–2 minutes
Step 5: Let absorb for 5–10 mins before applying sunscreen or makeup
🔹 Tip: Varnyam works beautifully under Suryavaran Pinja sunscreen — it doesn’t pill or clog pores when used sparingly.
🌙 Night Routine with Kumudini (Night Oil)
Goal: Repair, brighten, and nourish deeply while you sleep
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Double cleanse to remove makeup and dust
Step 2: Apply 3 drops of Kumudini oil to clean palms

Step 4: Optional: Use a Kansa Wand Massager or jade roller to improve circulation
Step 5: Sleep peacefully — let the saffron and sandalwood work their magic
🔹 Tip: You’ll wake up to softer, more balanced skin with visible radiance over time.
The Ayurvedic Philosophy Behind Day & Night Skincare
According to Ayurveda:
- Daytime is governed by Pitta dosha (transformation & activity), needing cooling + protective ingredients like Lodhra, Musta, Yashtimadhu
- Nighttime is governed by Kapha & repair, needing deep nourishment from Manjishtha, Sandalwood, Saffron and Mahua
This time-aligned formulation approach helps your skin stay in sync with your natural circadian rhythm.
Visible Results: What You’ll Notice With Regular Use
| Timeframe | Results with Daily Use |
|---|---|
| 1–3 days | Softer skin, hydration improved |
| 1 week | Dullness reduces, subtle glow appears |
| 2–4 weeks | Pigmentation begins to lighten, texture smooths |
| 1–2 months | Even tone, visibly luminous skin, fewer breakouts |
Consistency is key. These are cumulative oils, meaning results deepen over time.
