Starting from Navratri, going all the way till New Year’s Eve, a barrage of festivities line up for us by the time autumn knocks on our doors. With great festivals come great celebrations, and with great celebrations comes the need for great skincare.
Pampering our skin in the hustle and bustle of festivals is quite a tricky task! Not all can spare generous time to get to the parlour and indulge in lengthy skincare. So, how does one flaunt fabulous skin amidst the festive fervour? Here are a few ‘at home’ skin care tips that can help:
Cleanse
The first step to take care of our skin, especially our face, is a thorough cleansing session. Dirt, oil and other irritants can clog pores and stick to our skin. It is very important to filter them out and keep the skin squeaky clean to help it stay smooth and supple. Cleansing also clears away dead skin cells to replenish our dermis.
Scrub
A mild scrubbing session once or twice a week can do wonders to retain the pure and plump essence of our skin. Scrubbing should always take place after a cleansing session, and we do need to make sure not to go overboard with scrubs since they can also cause harm if not done gently and in the right intervals.
Moisturise
Like water is to fish, moisture is to our skin! Our dermis needs to be hydrated regularly to avoid dryness and irritation. As a long and grand festive season approaches, regular sessions of moisturizing are a great way to keep our skin looking plush, healthy and festive ready. Not only will this routine keep the pesky pimples away, it will also manage those annoying wrinkles.
UV Protect
We often tend to ignore this facet of skincare, although it is pivotal to maintain good dermal health. Whether we are hosting an indoor Diwali celebration, or stepping out for a Christmas party during a cloudy day, sunscreens are essential to ensure that our skin is not damaged by UV rays. The last step in your DIY skincare schedule, never forget to remember about sunscreen!
