How To Prep Your Skin For The Festive Glamour
Cleaning twice a day will ensure that your pores are not clogged by dirt, oils, and pollutants; exfoliation cleans dead skin cells and refreshes your skin.
Use a light cleanser with vitamin C and exfoliate 2-3 times per week with an alpha-beta hydroxy acid scrub for non-porous, radiant skin.
Hydration is very important because hydrated skin always looks younger and more radiant. Drinking water and using hydrating products would be extremely essential.
Use a hyaluronic acid serum and top with a more nourishing moisturizer to lock everything in place. A hydrating face mist can also be used to give your skin that quick refresh.
Even though Diwali falls in autumn, sun damage remains a challenge because UV rays will lead to dull and premature skin aging.
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 every morning, even on days when you won't be going outdoors, or it is cloudy.
Face masks immediately give new life to your skin, making it plump and rejuvenated.
Try aloe vera or vitamin E sheet masks, or even make your own mask using turmeric and honey for a brighter complexion.
The usual ailments during the festival rush include dark circles and dry lips. Remember to maintain special care for these delicate areas.
Use an eye cream that contains caffeine to actively remove puffiness, and a nourishing lip balm with shea butter to keep lips soft.
Celebrations at night, of course, are liable to make your skin take a beating. And sleep is required for a glowing complexion.
Shoot for a good 7-8 hours of sleep at night, and so encourage a calming face oil to aid in your night-time skincare routine.
