Glow bright this diwali Essential Skincare Tips

Sep 30, 2024 by Sujata 0 Comments #Essential

Diwali, the festival of lamps is one of the most important festivals in India. It is a festival peppered with bright lights! However, late nights, heavy makeup, and the harsh hug of environmental factors affect the skin barrier. Therefore, it is important to remind yourself of these most essential skincare products and routine focused primarily to the festive season so that you glow brighter this Diwali.
Here are some key products for the Diwali season:

1. Cleaning is the most important step:
Choosing the right cleanser for your type of skin in the pre-festival month is one important tasks. With the day of Diwali approaching, adopting this refreshing cleansing ritual will get you all set to welcome the festivities. Think of cleaning as a prerequisite to radiant skin as it washes away pollutants and unclogs pores so that your skin remains healthy.

Opt for formulas that are gentle, nourishing, and cleanse the skin. After all, who doesn’t want their skin to just feel as vibrant and festive! So here’s a toast to a cleaning ritual that brings out the inner glow and keeps your skin looking its best!

2. Hydrate from the Inside
Moisturizing is important to keep the skin looking fresh, nourished and glowing. Invest in ingredients like hyaluronic acid that retains moisture, ceramides that restore your skin’s barrier, and glycerin to draw in hydration. For Oily skin opt for oil-free moisturizers that will keep your skin hydrated without clogging the pores or feeling heavy on the skin. Remember that a hydrated skin is a happy skin! So power up with a moisture and let your natural beauty shine!

.3. Do not forget your Sunblock:
Sunscreen is one of the most essential part of skincare routine. Before you step out lather that sunscreen. Ensure that your festive celebrations are UV ray protected! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. This will protect you from harmful rays and prevent long-term damage so that it remains healthy.

4. Exfoliate with Care:
Exfoliation or scrubbing removes dead skin cells and also produces new skin cells. Just remember to be careful. Exfoliate only two times a week using soft scrubs or chemical exfoliants that do not irritate your skin. In the event that you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, it’s recommended for you to use gentle exfoliating products and patch test on a small portion of your skin before including it in your daily routine.

5. Vitamin C Glow:
If you want a brighter face or you just want to interrupt the free radicals brought about by pollution and stress, a Vitamin C serum must be included in your skin care routine. Vitamin C serum works best when applied in the morning after cleaning and before moisturizing. This allows the serum to penetrate through and be absorbed directly into your skin, which aids in its fight to protect against daytime aggressors. Ensure that you include the ingredient slowly I your process. Start with once of twice a week.

Include these sites in your skincare routine for the festive season ahead to ensure that take part in the hustle bustle of the festive season with a glow on your face.
