Top ‘Desi’ winter beauty routines you would enjoy doing for the best results

Gen Z especially loves trying new remedies to improve their skin during winter. Read on to learn the top desi beauty routines.

Winter 2025 is already here, and the chilling weather across the country has also prompted people, especially the youth who often complain about dryness, a damaged skin barrier and pigmentation, to seek ways to improve their skin health. This is when desi remedies enter the picture that are safe and effective for most.

Below are the three must-try desi remedies for glowing skin in winter 2025:

Aloe Vera Gel: Applying aloe vera gel in winter is one of the best ways to care for skin and hair. It helps provide deep hydration, soothe dryness, fight inflammation, and nourish the skin with vitamins A, C, and E. It gets fully absorbed, leaving no greasy residue, and makes a great repair agent. For dry scalp and damaged skin, one can use aloe vera and add oils to make an effective homemade scrub.

Ghee: Applying ghee on dry patches of skin in winter works best because of its rich fatty acids and vitamins. Ghee is enriched with vitamins A, D and E and is rich in antioxidants. It deeply nourishes, hydrates, and locks in moisture, which the skin demands in winter. Ghee can penetrate deep into the skin layers, repair roughness, heal cracks, and protect against harsh, cold air, leading to glowing, supple skin.

Sesame Oil: This can be highly beneficial during winters due to its high moisture content and ability to counteract dryness and stiffness. Sesame oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, penetrating deep into the skin layers and providing intense, long-lasting hydration.

One can also make a malai and honey face mask for intense moisturisation, skin nourishment, and protection against flakiness, irritation, and dryness.
