Navratri 2024: Pre Dandiya Skincare Routine

1. Cleansing: During the festival season, your skin tends to accumulate more dirt, sweat, and excess oil, which can lead to breakouts. Make it a habit to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle, non-drying cleanser to effectively remove impurities and keep your skin fresh and clear. (Image Source: Pinterest/freepik)

2. Hydration Is Key: Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining healthy, plump skin. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to help flush out toxins and keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Proper hydration can also improve your skin's elasticity and overall appearance. (Image Source: Canva)

3. Sun Safety Always: During festivals, UV rays can penetrate through lights and still damage your skin. To protect your skin, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, regardless of the weather. Reapply every two hours if you're outdoors to ensure continuous protection from harmful UV rays. (Image Source: Pinterest/heinens)

4. Moisturise Wisely: Even if your skin feels oily or dry during festivals, it's important to keep it hydrated. Opt for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that won't clog your pores while providing essential hydration. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which help lock in moisture without leaving a heavy residue. (Image Source: Pinterest/SkinRenewalSA)

5. Waterproof makeup: Resist sweat, humidity, and water to keep your look intact throughout the day. Begin with a waterproof primer for a smooth base, then apply a long-wearing foundation and concealer. Choose smudge-proof eyeliner and mascara to maintain your eye makeup, and opt for cream blush and bronzer for a natural finish. Finish with a setting spray to lock in your look. This routine is perfect for outdoor events or long days, letting you enjoy yourself without the need for frequent touch-ups. (Image Source: Pinterest/rttkwt)
