The weeks before Diwali will be piled with cooijng, cleaning, decorating, and purchasing for the family; And hardly we get time for skincare or haircare. This skips because of other priority jobs, but trust me taking care of yourself is also one of the priority jobs like every other thing.

And you do not have to do a detailed 10 step routine or visit parlours and complicate it. A few simple skincare habits which give your skin a naturally healthy look. Here's a simple plan you can follow, whether Diwali is two weeks away or just two days after to get that healthy glow on the skin.

Why Your Skin Needs A Little Extra Care At Diwali

The festive season often means late nights, long days in heavy makeup, oil lamps and crackers, and less sleep than usual. Most of the people in India do experience skin dryness around this time of the year.

And we have a simple 3 step solution which should be pre and also post diwali skincare. It calls for three basics done well: cleanse gently, keep skin hydrated, and protect it. That's the backbone of every routine below.

Diwali Skincare Routine - Pre & Post Version

This is the time to settle into a routine, not to experiment. If you want to try a new product, start patch testing first on your inner arm and wait 24 hours. When your skin does not react and be the same, then it's a yes. The closer you get to Diwali, the less you should change. Stick to what your skin already knows. 

Don't forget your lips. Diwali means a lot of lipstick, and dry lips make it harder to wear. A Beetroot Lip Balm under your lipstick gives a smoother base, and on its own adds a subtle natural tint.

If you only have ten minutes before your diwali day out, this is the routine which will help in giving the natural shining skin:

• Cleanse twice a day. A gentle cleanse in the morning and at night keeps your skin's base clean. Deyga's Charcoal Bath Bar is made with activated charcoal for a deep cleanse.

• Hydrate after every cleanse. A light, non-greasy layer such as Aloe Vera Gel works well under makeup and on its own.

• Add one face pack a week. A weekly pack from Deyga's face packs and masks range is a relaxing way to build a small ritual.

The ABC Combo brings these three essentials together like Aloe Vera Gel, a Beetroot Lip Balm Stick and a Charcoal Bath Bar. It follows the same order as this routine: cleanse, moisturise, hydrate lips.

The Morning Postost Diwali:

After a late Diwali night, give your skin a quiet day.

1. Cleanse gently and skip heavy makeup if you can.

2. Use aloe vera gel to soothe and hydrate. 

3. After hours of standing and walking, a rich foot butter from Deyga's foot care range is a small comfort.

Natural Skincare For Glowing Skin, All Season

A festive glow comes basically from consistency, not one big effort the night before. If you keep the three basics going through the season, your skin is better prepared for every function, puja and late night.
