Festive season has begun with Diwali just gone past in a blink of an eye. Soon we’ll be attending pujas, parties, and weddings every other day. While a rocking festive wardrobe is an essential of this season, so is rocking skin. The best clothes and best makeup cannot help you if your skin isn’t on point. Healthy, clear skin can give you a special glow that even the best highlight in the world cannot. Hence, it’s important to follow a routine for skin preps.
So, what do you need to do to have this healthy glow all through the festive season? We have a simple three-step routine that will help you get there. So sit tight and read on.
So, these skin prep steps are very basic but so very essential.

Nourish –
Nourishing your skin from within is the most important step of skin preps. During the festive season, it’s very difficult to watch what you eat and always stay true to your diet. There are just too many temptations. We suggest you fix on some sort of an eating schedule and eat only at designated times. This will aid digestion and also limit the amount of junk you consume. Start your day with detox water, a simple glass of warm water with lemon can do the trick. This will help your body flush out the toxins and give your metabolism a kick-start. Add healthy greens like spinach, kale and methi to your diet. Drink healthy fruit and vegetable juices. Mineral rich foods like beetroot, kale, spinach etc are superfoods for the skin. These will give you a glow from within.

Exfoliate –
Exfoliation is very important for your skin, and we cannot stress this enough. It’s essential to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. It is also equally essential to remember not to overdo it. Invest in a good mild exfoliator that suits your skin. It will keep blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin at bay. It also helps increase the blood circulation in your face, which in turn, gives your skin a healthy glow.

Mask –
Just like nourishing your skin from within with the right foods is crucial, so is nourishing it from the outside. Facemasks act as food for your skin. Apply a facemask to your face at least once a week. If you are not a big fan of pastes and peel-off masks, opt for sheet masks instead. Masks with hyaluronic acid are amazing for the skin and leave is soft and hydrated. If you have acne prone skin, go for tea tree and green tea masks, for dry skin go for aloe masks and for blackhead prone skin go for charcoal masks. If you want to go natural, opt for multani mitti masks that you can make at home. All you need is good quality multani mitti and some rose water. Leave in on your skin for 15 mins and you’ll have fresh and bright skin. You can also add a bit of turmeric to the mix to give your face a healthy glow.
