Navratri skincare: Tips to maintain good skin, hair health

The nine-day-long Navratri festivities and tiring garba nights can take a toll on your skin.

Navratri not only calls for a perfect outfit but also that flawless makeup that will keep you picture-perfect.

This is where healthy skin comes into play. With just a few skin tips, you can prepare your skin and take care of it during the hectic days.

Always remove your makeup No matter how tiring your days are, make sure to remove all that makeup before going to sleep. For a quick help, take a good quality makeup remover and wipe the layers of product from your face. Next, wash your face with a good-quality face wash. Apply moisturiser to your face before sleeping.

Never skip sunscreen Hours of pandal hopping during the festival can bring a lot of skin tanning. To avoid the trouble, always add a good layer of sunscreen on your face as well as your neck, hands, and legs.

Beauty sleep Staying up in the night for hours can sound like a lot of fun; however, this will instantly show up on your face the very next day. For the most effective trick, get enough sleep. To relax your eyes, placing a cold eye patch or cold green tea bags will help you rejuvenate and get rid of the puffiness around the eyes.

Focus on your diet The street food stalls can appear quite tempting during the Durga Puja outings. However, one needs to follow a healthy and balanced diet to ensure the skin stays radiant and fresh throughout the festival. Make sure to stay hydrated and include loads of fruits and vegetables to boost your stamina.

Clean your scalp Just like the skin, your hair also requires proper cleansing. The scalp can get exposed to excessive sweat, pollution, and heat during the celebrations.

Regular cleansing with a mild shampoo can help during these busy days, as it will prevent the accumulation of dirt.
