6 Essential Oils To Enhance Your Relaxing Diwali Skincare Routine

Diwali is the festival of celebration, joy, and togetherness, but, it can also expose your skin to dirt, heavy makeup, and late nights which can be hard to tolerate for the skin.

Essential Oil

1. Lavender Oil: Lavender is known for its calming properties, which are great for stress-related skin issues like redness or irritation. It's just great for soothing the mind, which is cool for all that night-time celebration unwinding. It's best to add it with your moisturizer at night or have a face steam with it.

2. Tea Tree Oil: Tea tree oil is antimicrobial, which makes it a good ally against breakouts that could be caused by heavy makeup. Add some oil to your toner, or apply it directly over the spots, diluted, to help reduce inflammation. (Image source: Canva)

3. Rosehip Oil: Rich in vitamins A and C, rosehip oil rejuvenates skin, perfect for regeneration, and reduces dark spots. Good for reviving the skin after all fest lights and pollution. Just apply it before bed and feel young and shine bright like a glow stick. (Image source: Pinterest/ simplepure)

Chamomile Oil: Chamomile is excellent on sensitive skin because it has a cooling effect that helps reduce irritation and redness, so it is just perfect for aromatherapy as well, so you don't get nightmares during the holiday rush. Mix it into your mask for extra nourishment. (Image source: Pinterest/ stylecraze)
