We all want our skin to glow all the time but with festivities in their full swing we want to look extra radiating, in short brighten up the room when we walk into the party. But all those back-to-back parties, work schedules, and daily chores isn’t that too much we are asking from our skin? Actually, no!
Our skin if hydrated, exfoliated, and pampered can help you look the diva that you love to be. Let us look at some 5 easy but super effective tips to follow to prep your skin before Diwali –
1. Give your makeup products a break, let them lie down calmly before the storm hits them. Give your skin the time to breath, heal, and work naturally. Once the festivities kick in you will be using one product or the other and no matter which product you use, they do hamper your skin’s health. Embrace your natural beauty for a few days.
2. Give yourself hydration reminders during busy Diwali preparations - Festivities keep you engaged but it's very important to keep yourself hydrated. In addition, with the onset of winter, your skin tends to become dry and rough. Drink plenty of water to replenish the moisture content in the body.
Another significant benefit of hydration is it helps to improve skin elasticity. Skincare experts unveil that drinking enough water helps to flush out toxins from the body, which in turn improves the skin tone and glow.
3. Diwali skincare is all about getting ready to shine, from the inside and outside. Begin your day with homemade detox water. Detox water purifies the blood, which in turn allows your skin to feel and look healthy. Make this detox drink for your Diwali skincare by using hot water, honey, lemon, ginger, and more ingredients that suit you.
However, we recommend consulting a nutritionist before you try this detox drink, in case of any allergies.
4. Do not miss out on exfoliation, it is very important to get rid of all that dead skin cells build up on your face due to pollution and dust. Exfoliation helps to shed these dead skin cells from the uppermost layer of the skin. It helps to prevent the clogging of pores and allows your skin to breathe.
Opt for an enzyme-based exfoliator because it gently exfoliates the skin without causing irritation and barrier damage. It helps get rid of dead skin cells and encourages new skin cell regeneration further leading to bright and glowing skin underneath.
Note - Do not over-exfoliate as that can become counter-productive.
5. Skincare for Diwali is incomplete without a serum. Using a hydrating serum will not only nourish the skin but also allow it to feel soft, supple, and healthy. We recommend using a serum with glycolic acid to achieve maximum benefits and let your skin feel Diwali-ready.
