With the festive season upon us, most of us are busy socializing, shopping and going for those cards parties while also making an effort to look our gorgeous best.
But these late nights, indulging in food and drinks and continuous use of makeup can sometimes leave your skin not looking all that healthy and vibrant.
So while you are enjoying all the feasting and festivities, heres what you can do to look your very best
1. Eat more fruits
Feasting continuously on fatty and sugar-loaded foods in the festive season surely takes a toll on your skin.
When we fill our meals with fruits loaded with antioxidants, essential nutrients and healthy fats, it definitely reverses the effects of high fat foods.
Therefore, detox your system with green juices and salads while you can, to reduce the effects of unhealthy indulgence.
2. Stay hydrated
Too much partying and being out and about can make you a bit careless about keeping your hydration game up.
Drinking too much alcohol also strips water from the system and leaves it dehydrated. And this directly affects the skin health by upsetting the proper function of the top layer of the skin and making it look dull and dry.
So its very important that you drink appropriate amount of water and keep yourself hydrated to help your skin maintain its elasticity and not look dry and flakey.
3. Exfoliate twice a week
Going out everyday and wearing makeup continuously can sometimes lead to blocked pores and congested skin. This can lead to blackheads, pimples and blemishes.
Therefore its very important to exfoliate the dead skin cells regularly to remove the oil, grime and dirt and makeup particles properly thus providing a fresh glow to the skin.
4. Use detox nourishing masks
Using homemade nourishing masks will help to naturally moisturize and heal the skin.
Hydrating mask-
1. Avocado-1/2(mashed)
2. Powdered milk- 1 tablespoon
3. Honey (1/2 tablespoon)
Mix the ingredients together to form a paste and apply on the face for 15 minutes.
Wash off to reveal a well hydrated, glowing complexion
5. Catch up on sleep
Skin conditions and sleep quality go hand in hand.
Too much socializing can lead to sleep deprivation and elevated levels of cortisol. This leads to inflammation, directly affecting the skins quality.
Therefore its important to get a good night sleep, so the skin can restore and repair its cellular tissues and look healthy and vibrant.
So while you are indulging in the celebrations and fun of the festive season, you can still look and feel your best with these quick tips.
Relish those martinis and cocktails while you look spectacular and splendid.
HAPPY DIWALI !!!!
