Tips To Get Glowing Skin Before Diwali
Tip #1 Cleansing
Leave your regular cleansing routine aside for a few days. As a Diwali special, swap your cleansing milk for rose water, honey, turmeric, sandalwood paste, or evena saffron face wash to boast glowing skin naturally. You can try Olay Total Effects Cream Cleanser to fight the 7 signs of ageing!
Tip #2 Home sauna
A few weeks before Diwali, open up and clean your pores with steam. Pour boiling water in a large vessel and add a few drops of an essential oil. Cover your head with a thick towel and let the steam wash over your face for clean and beautiful skin. This is one of the easiest home tips for glowing skin.
Tip #3 Scrub
Ransack your kitchen or look for an organic scrub in the market. Gently massage your skin with the scrub and let the fresh skin lying hidden underneath come to the surface.
Tip #4 Face pack
Use a face pack to renew your facial skin. You can look for ingredients in your kitchen for an all-organic, chemical-free face pack.
Tip #5 Hydrate your skin
After the face pack, refresh your face with a cold water and eucalyptus soak. Add a few drops of the eucalyptus oil to a bowl of cold water. Soak a towel in it. Squeeze it and place on your face to relax and seal in the moisture.
Tip #6 Hydrate from within
Drink plenty of water and limit the intake of fried and oily foods. The water will keep your skin fresh and giveit a healthy glow.
Tip #7 Oil-based moisturiser
Oil-based moisturisers are better than water-based ones as they retain moisture, and at the same time are not as heavy as creams.
Tip #8 Don’t forget the scrub
Just as you would exfoliate your facial skin, use a scrub once a week to slough off dead skin cells from your body and feel fresh all day long.
Tip #9 Choose the right make-up
Use water-proof mascara and eye-liners, and transfer-resist lipsticks. This is to avoid smudging of the makeup and thus prevent unsightly stains.
Tip #10 Use ice cubes
Rub ice cubes on the face before applying makeup. This slows down sweating and keeps the makeup for longer.
Tip #11 Use softer shades
Your clothes and jewellery are gorgeously striking. Complement the look with pastel shades of makeup.
