Traditional appeal of skincare products made with pure oils and herbs is beyond skincare. The aroma, the texture, the feel and the energy of the nature filled in a bottle, has a deep energetic effect not just on skin radiance, but also on sensual awakening and the experience in that moment.
Incorporating Saffron and Sandalwood Based Kumkumadi Kesara Serum into Yogic Beauty Approach
In Yoga and Ayurveda, sensuality is not indulgence, it’s presence with awareness of the senses. It is the sacred awareness of Prana flowing through your senses and uplifting your experience of how your skin feels, how your breath moves, how your radiance awakens with involvement of senses in your skincare practice.
Svarasya's Kumkumadi Kesara Serum, with its base of Sandalwood, Saffron, and Kumkumadi oil, is more than a serum. It imparts deep nourishment to the skin, balancing your vital glow.
- Begin the Ritual - Begin the Ritual with Yogic Grounding Practice in Morning or Dusk (Brahma Muhurta or Sandhya time). Sit in a calm, softly lit corner with sandalwood diffuser or incense burning.
- Sit in Vajrasana or Sukhasana.
- Close your eyes. Place one hand on your heart, one on your lower belly.
- Take five deep breaths. Inhale through the nose, exhale softly through the mouth.
- Silently repeat the affirmation, 'I awaken the light within. I honor my skin as the temple of my soul.'
This grounding practice helps your prana settle, allowing the skin to absorb energy and nourishment more deeply.

Warm-up the Elixir to Activate the Prana
- Place 3–4 drops of Kumkumadi Kesara Serum in your palms.
- Gently rub your hands together to activate the pranic charge of the ingredients.
- Feel the warmth, the aroma of sandalwood, the golden hue of saffron, all representing Agni, the fire of illumination.
- Pause for a breath and sense the oil in hands
- Apply as a Mindful Face Ritual (Abhyanga for the Skin)
- In slow, circular motion, begin from the center of the forehead, moving outward to the temples, releasing mental stress.
- Glide down along the cheeks and jawline, stimulating facial marma points.
- Gently press under the eyes with ring fingers to soften fatigue.
- Massage the chin and neck in upward strokes to stimulate lymphatic flow.
Breathe deeply. Let the cooling nature of Sandalwood pacify excess Pitta (the fire element) and the Saffron brighten both skin and mood. Let each stroke become a meditative movement.
- Pair with Yogic Practices for Sensual Upliftment
- Cat-Cow: To fluidly awaken spine and sensual energy.
- Heart Openers: To release self-judgment and awaken radiance from the heart.
- Hip Circles or Mandala Flow: To activate Svadhisthana Chakra, seat of sensual energy.
After your flow, apply the Kumkumadi Kesara Serum to ground and nourish the awakened energy into the body through the skin. Mindful massage and breath alignment enhances pranic flow, self-connection and brings that radiance of self-love show up on skin as improved skin tone, radiance, and vitality.
