Best Ayurvedic Skin Cream in Winter
Turmeric| The Golden Spice of Beauty
Youth is a gift of beauty but age is a work of art; I am impressed with these words. You can be gorgeous at 30, stunning at 40 and irresistible for the rest of your life. Winter is much awaited for the festive season and parties but winters are harsh on the skin. We have to pamper our skin or it will be dry and chappy. When shopping for skin-care products, choose the right ones for younger and glowing looking skin. Today, I am sharing the Best Ayurvedic Skin Cream in Winter
I am an advocate of natural skin-care; long before Golden Milk became popular in the west, turmeric was used in beauty rituals. As a home chef, it’s hard not to love spice like turmeric. It is a miracle ingredient for your skin and is ubiquitous in India. Not only adding a golden hue to any dish it has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Turmeric, the miracle cure for winter
Largely, it heals everything. Digestion issues? Turmeric. Winter Skin concerns? Turmeric. It clears out damaged skin cells and leaves your skin soft and glowing. It also benefits skin concerns like pigmentation, signs of ageing and sun damage, and treats acne and stretch marks.
Curcumin, an active component in turmeric has skin-enhancing properties. This imparts glow and lustre to the skin. During my wedding ceremony, the Haldi ceremony was held. I was told that the smearing of Haldi makes your skin radiant and glowing on your wedding day. It categorically helps in exfoliating skin cells to reveal fresh and rejuvenated skin. Since then turmeric has become an integral part of my skincare routine.
Sensitive Skin in Winter
I have delicate skin and acne has been a perpetual skin issue. Always be vary about over-the-counter skincare products if you have sensitive skin like me. I am always on the lookout for herbal skin cream, preferably with turmeric as an ingredient. There are a million treatments in the market for acne but natural ingredients are the safest. Turmeric, with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, stops bacteria from spreading thus reducing redness and inflammation of the blotch as well. The curcumin in turmeric reduces excess manufacture of melanin; this lightens the scars and keeps your skin blemish-free.
My mom used to make a Kasturi turmeric face pack for my sisters. She used to sit and grind the turmeric and a block of sandalwood; make a paste by adding rosewater to it. She used to apply this thick paste on their faces. They would rinse it off with lukewarm water after 15 minutes.
Ayurvedic Skin Cream
But, I neither have the time or her patience to make a face mask at home. I just reach out for an Ayurvedic skin Cream, off the shelf. My preferred skin cream for all seasons is Vicco Turmeric Skin Cream
The two ingredients in this cream are Sandalwood and Turmeric. Together, both these ancient and traditional ingredients, keep my skin glowing. It essentially helps in nurturing the skin, enhances and tones the skin. You can say goodbye to blemishes and scars and it also keeps skin hydrated during winter. In winters it is best to let the cream work overnight to keep your skin hydrated.
How to use
- Before going to bed, cleanse your face and apply the cream all over your face.
- Leave it overnight
- Rinse off in the morning, preferably with Vicco Turmeric Cream with Foam Base – the Turmeric Wash
I am 57 now, past my menopause, (skin’s natural oils are depleted and crow’s feet start showing) when the skin becomes dry and wrinkled. But my skin is flawless, smooth, soft and supple; again thanks to this cream which I diligently apply every day. We cannot turn back the clock nor stop it but we can slow down the fine lines and wrinkles for sure. I am ready to take on the cold winter months anytime. Are you?

Yes vicco is great trustworthy brand. I had used their products personally and had a great experience with it. Thanks for sharing your input dear.
This I’ve seen all my life. I mean I have never ever used it but have always seen the ad and sung along with it. I didn’t know about all the goodness of tumeric for the skin
Winters can be really harsh on our skin and requires more care and attention. As we know turmeric is a natural antiseptic .this product from Vicco is great as it is definitely one of the most trusted brands available.
Vicco Turmeric gives me a lot of nostalgic memories. Growing up we had only this for skin care.
Moreover the song. It still dances in our lips. You literally took me to my childhood
I had used Vicco face cream from a very young age as my mom trusted it a lot and I feel so good to read about it from you too. I will check out other products too from them now.
The moment i saw Vicco turmeric, the famous jingle started playing in my mind. Turmeric has antioxidants properties so when used in form, it provides amazing effects on the skin that will help Strengthen the skin barrier.
Thanks a lot for sharing such organic and ayurvedic products for winter skin care because I was looking for something like this and will definitely try the face wash
Vicco takes me back in time when it was the only skin care cream we believed in…. turmeric is like the god spice when it comes to taking care of the skin and body.
Vicco is surely the best ayurveda brand that has been in market since ages and the presence of tumeric and more natural ingredients makes it perfect for all.
Turmeric is a magic potion for everyone. I use turmeric in skincare as well to heal wounds. At night mom gives haldi wala milk for good inner health.
I swear by vicco turmeric cream! I have been using this from my childhood and I love it! No matter how many new brands come, I always end up applying only vicco turmeric😀
Nice info. Curcumin has medicinal value. It may stop death of a cell. May be that is the reason for improved skin health. Skin cells get eternal life.
Thank you. Yes..it is also an antiseptic. But for beauty purposes, Kasturi manjal is used not regular turmeric.
Wow, that was a useful post. Thanks for writing this post hope this one works.
Turmeric is good for many things. Even the west has beginning to see the advantages of tumeric.
Vicco is a reliable brand. I remembered the Vicco Vajradanti ad. Turmeric is the golden spice. I will see if I can get it here.
All these points are really good. Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components. These characteristics may provide glow and luster to the skin. Turmeric may also revive your skin by bringing out its natural glow. You may want to try a turmeric face mask at home to see if the spice has any positive effects on your skin. I use vicco turmeric. Vicco Turmeric skin cream vanishes into your skin & its active ingredients like turmeric and sandalwood oil restores the skin glow. The regular use of this cream results in soft, supple, and spotless skin. It also protects skin from acne, pimples, blemishes & other skin problems.
Yes, Thank you, Monideepa. Here in Andhra, women generally apply turmeric paste to the face and to the feet. They have such clear spotless skin. Vicco turmeric is a tried and trusted brand since decades now
It’s amazing to see turmeric gain the long due popularity. for us, Indians Turmeric is the one-stop for all health and skin problems. Starting from wounds and cuts to glowing skin for everything my grandmoms and moms have always recommended turmeric. As I understand Vicco skin cream is also showing the promising results.
I am humming the Vicco Song while reading this post 🙂 Turmeric is indeed an ayurvedic treasure. Thanks for sharing this.
Vicco is always reliable and I am using it since my childhood. I love the smell of Vicco creams
I love turmeric! It’s a part of my diet and skincare regime. I have never tried Vicco but I tempted to use it reading your post.
Your post reminded me of the advertisement. Vicco, I have never used this brand but now surely going to buy this. I use Aloevea gel as a moisturizer in my skin care routine. But I think in winters I should change because as we age our skin type also changes. And turmeric is the cure of any skin issue. Thanks for sharing.
I have full trust in Vicco turmeric cream; it is being used at my home for ages. I have seen it’s a permanent place in my mom’s purse. And the ritual is still following by us. Very effective on pimples, skin rashes, or acne due to its major ingredient, turmeric. I never experienced the foam face wash; I would love to give it a try.
A lovely post as always Harjeet. I swear by turmeric. It is a lifesaver for a hyperallergic person like me. I don’t use any product for my skin apart from the old nuskha of fresh cream and lemon juice. Haven’t tried turmeric since I am not fond of the yellowish hue.
I am also a big fan of Vicco Turmeric Cream for my face. I have been using it since my teens and have never had an acne problem except for some heat boils that break out now and then and go away in a couple of days. I have experimented with other newer creams that are available but always go back to Vicco….a tube is always there at home. Iam a Tamilian – a part of the daily bath ritual at my maternal home is to apply a little bit of turmeric on the face just at the end and rinse off after a few minutes. I stopped doing that once I got married, but I know that it helps keep the face clean. The only advantage being the yellow tinge that is left. But even this tinge is eliminated with the cream!
I have not used turmeric for my face wash but I use it as a drink in warm water or milk. I use multani mitti face pack with rose water. Doesn’t turmeric leave a yellowish hue on the face?
Turmeric is great for body and skin. We have been adding it to our milk to drink or applying to our skin for decades. Vico is a good brand too and has the goodness of all these ingredients.
Lovely post. 🙂 One of my favourite ingredients in the kitchen. I love all the uses of it and it is really a great natural skin food. 🙂
Turmeric is good for health is all I knew. Thanks for sharing the details and reasons anlbehind the same. BTW jingle of Vicco turmeric is ringing in my ears..
Lovely post! yes, we cannot go back in time, but we can change our lifestyle, Vicco is a trusted brand, also the turmeric works wonders, I use it with Multni Mitti, it does work wonders.
Turmeric is great for our immune system, body and skin. I have never personally used Vicco products but heard a lot about it. Ayurvedic product are great and Vicco is one of the trusted brand in India. I will try this product.

Turmeric is indeed an ideal ingredient to keep the body healthy from within and from the exterior appearance. My nani also used to make packs for us using kasturi haldi, chandan, and besan mixed with malai during winters. Those were such beautiful times. But now-a-days, we are all so busy and hardly have time to keep our skin healthy. So Vicco is an exccellent choice and a trusted brand too.
Totally agree turmeric plays a major role.in.indian skincare. I’ve used vicco during childhood and would recommend this to anyone.
Yes, Vicco is a promising brand since years. I am using its vajradanti and i feel fresh after using it. I will try the products which you have mentioned here.
Tumeric is incomparable, full of qualities and also the solution of many health problems.
I have used Vicco turmeric in my childhood. My family swears by the goodness of this brand & it has proved its mettle. A household favourite in my case.
i have used this brand and it is totally trusted brand by me and my mom . we all know the benefits of turmeric for skin care . Thanks for sharing
I really agree to your points, VICCO is my favourite since childhood and had heard ad and started singing the ad in the same tone. thats amazing post
