Why Ayurvedic Face Oils Work and How to Use PRANA for Clear, Balanced Skin
When I began working on this formula, I wasn’t searching for another product. I was trying to bring my skin back to balance. It had become overly reactive, dull, tired and nothing seemed to calm it.
In Ayurveda, that loss of vitality is called a depletion of Prana — the life force that gives our skin its natural strength and luminosity. When Prana flows freely, the skin feels calm, hydrated and resilient. When it’s blocked, it shows dullness, irritation and fatigue.
That’s where PRANA face oil began, with the intention to restore that inner vitality. It helps the skin to return to its natural state of harmony, using botanicals that feed, protect and support its natural intelligence.
Why Face Oil
Many people are hesitant to use face oils because they fear breakouts. When formulated correctly, face oils don’t cause acne, they actually help prevent it. The skin’s outer barrier is made of natural oils that keep it balanced and hydrated. When that barrier is stripped by harsh cleansers or over-exfoliation, the skin overproduces oil, often leading to congestion and inflammation.
PRANA is made with non-comedogenic Ayurvedic oils that absorb quickly and support clarity. Ingredients like Tulsi, Sandalwood, Neem and Brahmi help calm inflammation, regulate oil production and strengthen the barrier.
The result is skin that feels nourished, balanced and visibly smoother over time.
What Makes PRANA Effective
Each ingredient in PRANA serves a clear purpose rooted in Ayurvedic medicine.
- Brahmi: Supports collagen and elasticity.
- Tulsi: Calms inflammation, purifies and protects from stress.
- Amla: Brightens, exfoliates and evens tone naturally.
- Sandalwood: Balances oil production and reduces redness
These botanicals work in synergy to help the skin repair, restore and renew itself. Each batch of PRANA is handcrafted slowly to preserve the potency of every ingredient, ensuring your skin receives their full therapeutic benefit.
How and When to Apply Face Oil
Knowing when to apply face oil and where it fits in your routine makes all the difference. Use PRANA as the final step after cleansing and toning, morning and evening.
Face oil should feel like the finishing touch, sealing in hydration while allowing the skin to breathe and repair naturally.
Morning: Apply three to four drops to damp skin before sunscreen. This helps lock in hydration and protect against environmental stress.
Evening: After cleansing, warm a few drops between your palms, inhale the soft scent of sandalwood and turmeric, and press gently into your face and neck using upward motions.
Face oil should feel like a final layer of nourishment. It seals in moisture without feeling greasy and allows the skin to breathe and repair overnight.
Where does face oil go in your skincare routine?
- Cleanser
- Toner or Mist
- Serum (if used)
- PRANA face oil
- SPF (in the morning)
Face oils work best on clean, slightly damp skin and can be used daily, even for combination or sensitive types.
The Heritage Behind PRANA
My father’s family in Kerala lived an Ayurvedic way of life, where medicine, food and daily ritual were one. Ayurvedic Vaidyans (doctors) cared for a garden of medicinal plants used to heal the community for generations.
That same philosophy inspires taïla today. Each batch of PRANA is crafted using ancestral Ayurvedic methods that preserve the full potency of each botanical. There are no shortcuts or synthetic additives — only time, patience and integrity.
Because true efficacy isn’t engineered, it’s cultivated.
Why Face Oil Works
Face oils mimic the skin’s natural lipid structure, allowing nutrients to absorb more deeply and moisture to stay locked in. Unlike creams that rely on water and emulsifiers, oils deliver concentrated pure, active nourishment directly to the skin barrier. The result is skincare that doesn’t just sit on the surface; it interacts intelligently with the skin to create lasting results
PRANA strengthens the skin, improves elasticity and helps retain hydration for longer periods. With consistent use, the complexion becomes calmer, smoother and more even in tone. It doesn’t just look better, it functions better.
That’s the beauty of Ayurvedic skincare: it works with your body, not against it.
