Skincare Tips For Karwa Chauth:

Here are some skin health tips shared by Dr. Preeti Seth that can help you radiate beauty and celebrate Karwa Chauth with even more grace.

• Begin Well in Advance:

Remember there are no quick fixes. Radiant skin requires time and dedication. Commence your skincare regimen weeks ahead of Karwa Chauth to allow your skin to respond positively to the treatments and products. But if you haven’t started yet do not worry, start now as its better late than never.

• Hydration is Key:

Maintaining proper hydration is indispensable for a healthy skin. Consume ample water throughout the day to keep your skin well-hydrated and glowing. Coconut water and herbal teas are excellent hydrating choices that you can opt for before you commence your fast.

• Cleansing and Gentle Exfoliation:

Consistent cleansing and occasional exfoliation are essential tools to accelerate cell turnover and reduce uneven tone. Employ a mild cleanser to eliminate impurities and dead skin cells. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week to stimulate skin renewal.

• Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable:

Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV damage can lead to premature aging and a lustreless complexion. Apply sunscreen even when indoors, as UV rays can penetrate through windows too.

• Nourish from Within:

Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals into your diet. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are your allies for a glowing complexion. For personalized nutrition advice, consider consulting a nutritionist.

• Serums and Moisturisers:

Select skincare products tailored to your skin type. Especially serums containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or retinol as they can work wonders. Complete your routine by sealing in the benefits with a suitable moisturiser.

• Maintain Balance:

While an indulgent skincare routine is crucial, avoid overloading your skin with too many products. Stick to a regimen that suits your skin to prevent irritation. Remember too many actives in your routine can cause more harm, so consult your healthcare professional to identify the appropriate regimen for you and start your journey to skin health.

• Prioritise Restful Sleep:

A restful night's sleep is important for skin rejuvenation. Therefore strive for at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep to awaken with refreshed and glowing skin.

• Stress Management:

Stress can negatively impact your skin. Practice stress-relief techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to maintain a serene mind and glowing skin.

Makeup Hacks For Karwa Chauth:

All set for Karwa Chauth? From fasting to making your appearance stand out, here are some easy makeup hacks suggested by Manya Jaitley, who is a Makeup Artist at Swiss Beauty, that you must try for Karwa Chauth.  

• Start with an oil-free and hydrating primer to create a smooth base for your makeup. 
• Layer it with foundation to give your face a radiant look. Prep your skin well before using a foundation so that it doesn’t turn grayish. Use a lightweight foundation that feels comfortable on your skin. 

• Well-groomed brows accentuate your face beautifully. Use a brow pencil one shade lighter than your natural eyebrows and fill in the sparse areas.

• Experiment with different eye makeup looks, from subtle to bold, and give your eyes a new makeover. Use glitter or metallic eyeshadows for a festive touch.

• Winged eyeliner or cat eyes—the choice is yours. Experiment with coloured eyeliners; you can also use eyeshadow with makeup fixer to create coloured eyeliner. Pair it with mascara to give your lashes an instant lift and volume.

• Apply a natural-looking blush to the apples of your cheeks to add a healthy flush of colour. Blend it well to achieve a seamless finish.

• Lip liner is your lipstick BFF. Define your lips with a lip liner for fuller-looking lips, and fill them with your favourite shade of lipstick. Make sure that your lipstick is transfer-proof and waterproof.

• Your makeup should stay intact throughout the day during all those preparations. Use a setting spray to lock your makeup in place.
• Accessorise it well. Wear a matching bindi or traditional maang tikka to complement your entire look.

In addition to that Shreedha Singh, who is the Co-founder, at T.A.C, The Ayurveda Co. said, "Choose kajal that's loaded with natural goodies like almond oil, vitamin E, or shea butter. Not only will it give your eyes a bold and smooth look, but it'll also pamper them. From here, you've got two awesome choices: you can create a sultry smoky eye look by smudging the kajal along your upper and lower lash lines, or you can go for that timeless soft winged look."

"Next, add a touch of soft, rosy colour to your cheeks with a blush. It'll give your face a natural flush, rounding off your look beautifully. And for the grand finale, go for a red lipstick that not only brings a burst of colour but also keeps your lips moisturised, she continued to say.

"But we're not done yet – a tradition is close to our hearts. Don't forget to apply Sindoor, a symbol of love and commitment that's more than just makeup. It carries deep cultural and symbolic meaning, signifying positivity and the sanctity of marriage. When choosing Sindoor, choose products infused with powerful ayurvedic herbs like turmeric and aloe vera. These ingredients don't just enhance your beauty; they also bring a sense of calm," she added.

Remember, your makeup, outfit, and jewellery must go hand in hand. With a heavy outfit, you can go for subtle makeup and minimal jewellery and vice versa. Slay your karwa look and celebrate the festive with your beloved.
