If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like your skin looked tired, dull, or just… off — I’ve been there. My skin wasn’t necessarily breaking out or overly dry, but it lacked life. No glow, no bounce. Just flat and flaky.
What I didn’t realize back then was that my skin wasn’t dry — it was dehydrated. And dehydration can make even healthy skin look older, uneven, and exhausted. That’s when I decided to simplify my skincare and try two targeted products of Hamsa Radiance: a hydration serum for the morning, and Kumkumadi oil at night.
Here’s how that combo changed everything.
The Problem: Dull, Dehydrated Skin
I had tried everything from thick moisturizers to DIY face masks, but nothing gave my skin that fresh, healthy glow I was after. My skin felt tight after washing, and by midday, it would look flaky around my nose and mouth.
After doing some research (and scrolling through endless skincare reels), I realized what I was missing: hydration and nourishment — not just moisture.
Hydration = water.
Moisture = oil.
Turns out, my skin needed both.
Step 1: Adding a Hydration Serum to My Morning Routine
I started using a lightweight hydration face serum with hyaluronic acid and glycerin every morning. I applied it right after cleansing while my skin was still slightly damp.
Here’s what changed:
My skin felt instantly plumper and more comfortable.
Foundation stopped clinging to dry patches.
Over time, my fine lines (especially on my forehead) looked softer.
I learned that hydrated skin reflects light better, which gives it that “dewy” look we all want — not oily, just naturally radiant.
Step 2: Introducing Kumkumadi Oil at Night
While the hydration serum took care of my skin’s thirst during the day, I needed something richer at night to repair and restore. I’ve heard a lot about Kumkumadi face oil — an Ayurvedic blend known for fading dark spots and bringing back natural glow.
At first, I was hesitant (oily skin + face oil = disaster?). But I trusted the process, warmed 2–3 drops between my hands, and gently pressed it into my face each night.
Within a few weeks:
- My skin tone became noticeably more even.
- Old acne marks and pigmentation started to fade.
- I woke up looking fresh — not greasy, but glowing.
The oil didn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts. In fact, it seemed to balance my skin, especially during the dry winter months.
Results After 30 Days
After one month of consistent use:
My skin felt hydrated all day — no more tightness or dryness.
The dullness was gone. My complexion looked brighter and smoother.
I even got compliments like, “You’re glowing — what are you using?”
But more importantly, my skin felt healthy. No more overloading it with harsh exfoliants or gimmicky products. Just two powerful steps: a water-based serum in the morning and a nutrient-rich oil at night.
What I Learned
- Less is more. You don’t need a shelf full of products. Just the right ones.
- Hydration and nourishment are different — and you need both.
- Consistency beats complexity. Glow doesn’t come overnight, but it comes.
My Routine Now (and Yours Can Be Too!)

Final Thoughts: Dewy Skin Is Within Reach
If you’re struggling with dull, dehydrated skin, consider simplifying your skincare like I did. Good hydration serum and Kumkumadi oil are more than just trends — they’re tools that work with your skin, not against it.
From dry and tired skin to fresh and dewy — it’s a journey worth taking.
