9 Nights Later… What’s Really Happening to Your Skin?

Navratri is that beautiful time of the year when our hearts beat in sync with the dhols, our closet bursts with color, and our nights are filled with music, prayers, and a never-ending celebration. While the nine nights of Navratri satisfaction cannot be challenged, it does impact our skin. Be it heavy makeup, late-night garba, fasting, dirt, or perspiration, the skin gets dull, dry, or breakouts. A well-thought-out post-Navratri skincare regimen should perform a revitalization in restoring her glowing aura with that fresh dew glow.

After Navaratri comes the time for skin rejuvenation and regaining its natural skin glow. Here is an exhaustive post-festival skincare guide.

Hydrate Inside and Out

• Water: The great purifier. Have at least eight to ten glasses a day to keep your skin moist.
• Moisturize: Look for a good-quality moisturizer suitable for your skin type to lock it from drying out. Look into some with hyaluronic acid for enhanced hydration.

Gentle Cleansing
Skin can be subjected to heavy makeup and pollution during the holidays. A mild cleansing routine is a preliminary step to removal of any eventual impurities and possible breakouts.

• Use a mild cleanser - pick a sulfate-free cleanser so it does not strip the skin of its natural oils.
• Double Cleanse -  also, always double cleanse if wearing heavy makeup. Start off with the oil-based cleanser, and then apply the gentle foaming one.

Exfoliate Wisely
Exfoliation is the key to brighten up your skin. The procedure of skin exfoliation is to rid the skin of its dead cells and to make it look fresh again. 

• Gentle Exfoliator:  Pick a scrub or a gentle exfoliator like the Vitamin C Glow Revealing Liquid Peel.
• Don’t overdo: Exfoliate no more than twice a week to prevent irritation.

Nourishing Face Masks

Generally, skin-care mechanisms present an instant dose of glow and nourishment for the skin. 

• DIY Masks: For a hydrating mask, consider honey, yogurt, or aloe, depending on your mood. 
• Sheet Masks: According to the occasion, sheet masks featuring vitamin C or green tea make a great choice for rejuvenating masks.

Repair and Protect

Once the celebrations are over, your skin might require additional support to heal and protect itself from more injuries.

• Serums and Oils: Start the use of serums with antioxidants such as vitamin C or retinol to the damaged skin and texture improvement.
• Sunscreen: The use of sunscreen should be a part of your skincare routine even if you are inside. The protective measure of the skin from the harmful effects of the sun will be carried out by a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices

In the end, your life method has a major effect on keeping your skin in good condition.

• Balanced Diet: Fill your diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish oil.
• The Perfect Sleep: Strive to get 7-8 hours of good sleep that will let your skin heal and renew.
• Stress Control: Engage in yoga or deep breathing exercises that help you relax and keep at bay the stress which is a major factor deranging skin health. 

Bottom line

The celebration of Navratri is coming to an end, and for sure, your skin needs its care and attention. Fasching, all the cheerful fun, could make your skin feel like it has "partied" too hard. Just imagine a skin care ritual that rescues your radiance and renews your soul. The energetic spirit that you brought to the holiday should also be extended to your skin, moisturize, cleanse, and indulge until you feel the glow within and outside of you. So glad to be able to toast to refreshed, revived, and ready to light up the world with your shiny new!
