Dry Brushing:
You brush your hair, teeth, and even beard, but do you know you can also brush your skin? Well, maybe it looks strange to some but let us inform you.
Dry brushing is a classic ayurvedic ritual that requires a bristle tool to brush your body. And, we swear, these bristles work wonders in sweeping away your dead skin cells. It leaves your skin soft and clean.
In addition, the most frequently cited benefit is lymphatic drainage and circulation and we all know that good blood circulation is the main reason for healthy skin. However, choose a brush with organic bristles and a long handle so you can reach all parts of your body easily.
All you have to do is gently brush your skin in circular motions, wash it and then apply some coconut or almond oil. Please, don't be harsh or you will get scratches.
Mini Facial Every 15 Days:
Do you have a tight budget? Or don't have much time? Mini Facial is your solution.
Mini facials are fantastic for full-face treatment when you have no extra time or a low budget, since they usually take no more than half an hour and cost less than half of what you can get in a salon. It's a relief!
Actually, mini facials are a blend of neck and face massage to help tighten your skin. Also, it includes cleansing, scrubbing, and then application of face mask and toner. In a very brief time - and for a cheaper price - mini facials grant you a pleasant shine. Each session makes your skin tighten, sleeker and cleaner.
As long as the time concerns, you should get the mini facial every 15 days. As you are preparing for Diwali you can go every 7 to 10 days, as this is the average skin cells cycle. So, book your appointment today and get ready to glow!
Weekly Exfoliation:
Believe it or not, there is no substitute for exfoliation. Discovering fresh and new skin under the bed of dead skin cells is the nicest feeling ever. Undoubtedly, there is refreshing magic in exfoliation.
So first, it's true that you efficiently unblock your pores when you exfoliate your skin. Just as exfoliation cleans your pores and eliminates whiteheads and blackheads, it also helps prevent other skin ailments— especially acne.
As there are many suggestions to do exfoliation 2 times a week but if you feel lazy to do that, stick to one time a week at least, but do it!
However, if you are not fond of inorganic beauty exfoliators, try DIYs like coffee grounds and coconut oil, or sugar, turmeric, and olive oil. There is something special in organic ingredients.
Inside Out Cleanse:
We heard cleansing but what is inside out cleanse? Wondering? Let us tell you.
Just as we cleanse our skin from outside, we should cleanse it from inside too. Cleansing inside out means just detoxify your body from different bacteria and impurities. And this can be done through variable techniques such as yoga, detox water, meditation, hydration, and a clean diet. Your glow may very well be restored with the combination of a healthy course, right lifestyle choices, skin rejuvenation, and purification treatments.
All you have to do is drink lots of water to flush all the toxins from the body, add green tea to your daily diet, sleep well, cut off sugar, consume alkaline foods, and do regular exercise. Though you have to be strict with all these, feed your skin healthy, if you want clearer skin on Diwali.
Facial Steam before Party:
Steam is the key to glowing skin. This soothing method has numerous advantages for the skin such as purification and refreshment, and the best part of steaming is that you can easily do it at your home. So, be prepared to get done with the steam when your Diwali party is one to two days away.
For nice facial steam at home, fill a saucepan with water and boil it. Drape over your head a thicker cloth or towel so that the steam gets directly on your face. Moreover, a few droplets of essential oil can also be used in the pot for a luxury experience. Steam your face for five to ten minutes to ensure all pores are open. Afterwards, do a gentle cleansing and never forget to apply a mask, toner, or ice.
It is to be noted if you have sensitive skin consult your dermatologist or hire a professional to do your facial steaming. Or, if ever faced irritation while steaming, just wrap your face with a warm wet towel, it will also help.
Wrapping it up!
Radiant and clean skin is all about consistent care. As it is said before, getting glowy skin is not a piece of cake. Ignoring your largest organ for a long period and then paying attention only when the occasion is about to come is not a good way.
However, if you follow the above easy things, we hope you will get an attractive and healthy skin appearance on Diwali. Make sure to know your skin type and do a patch test before applying any facial product.
Get ready to catch all the eyes on you.
Happy Diwali!
