The auspicious festival of spectacular lights, firecrackers, irresistible traditional sweets and gift exchange is just around the corner. Diwali is undoubtedly one of the most awaited festivals for everyone.
Be it kids, grown-ups, grandparents or your pets- everyone cherishes this time of unlimited sweets and fun gatherings.
But, amidst all the preparation, unhealthy eating, no exercise and exposure to dust and smoke of firecrackers, your skin may suffer. You might see sudden breakouts, cracked skin, puffed eyes or dull skin during this time.
No worries, because we’ve got all your concerns covered. Here’s a ‘to-do’ list of skincare tips and a few organic beauty products that you can consider to get glowing skin this Diwali:
Cleanse well
The first step to getting a Diwali-ready skin is following a regular cleansing routine. Cleansing keeps the face free from dirt and impurities.
Wash your face twice daily, once in the morning and the other at night. Use a gentle cleanser or over-the-counter ingredients like organic honey, rose water or sandalwood powder.
Remember twice a day is sufficient as excess cleansing could make your skin dull.
Scrub off the dead skin
A face scrub helps in exfoliating your skin by removing dead skin cells that clog pores. Clogged pores are the main reason for most skin issues including acne, inflammation and pigmentation.
An amazing organic and certified ‘natural’ scrub you can use is Soul Tree’s walnut and turmeric face scrub. It exfoliates the skin and provides a cooling effect. Find it here.
Use a face mask
Face masks are used to target specific skincare concerns. They hydrate skin, remove excess oils and improve the appearance of pores by providing a relaxing, spa-like experience at home.

Toner is the answer
Using a toner restores the pH levels of your skin, keeping it soft and healthy. It also reduces the appearance of pores and facilitates the penetration of other skincare products.
Moisturize
Did you know that cold & hot weather, air conditioning, indoor heat, sun exposure are some of the factors that can suck the moisture right out of your skin?
Regular application of moisturizer prevents dryness, slows the signs of ageing, helps fight acne, protects the skin from the sun and soothes sensitive skin.
One of the moisturizers that suit all skin types is Azafran Organics’ 3 in 1 daily moisturizer. It brightens the skin and also protects your skin from UV rays. You can buy this online here.
In the end, remember, what you eat and how you live your life can lead to smoother, healthier skin.
