Makeup products can prevent the products, sweating, pollution, and late night pores, dehydrate the skin, and cause dullness or breakout. A proper skincare routine is required for post-Narvratri:
- Remove the remaining makeup and impurities
- Rebellion oil production
- Cool swelling or sensitivity
- Restore hydration and elasticity
7-step home skincare routine after Navratri
1. Double Clean (Melt makeup and grim)
Start with an oil-based cleanser (such as coconut oil or micro-water) to break heavy makeup. Follow it with a soft foaming cleanser to wash sweat and dirt. This ensures that your pores are completely cleaned without snatching your skin.
Diy tip: If you are avoiding products, use raw milk or Aloe Vera gel as a natural first cleanser.
2. Gently exfoliate (remove dead skin)
Avoid hard scrub – instead, use a mild exfolient 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin and help in observation pores.
DIY option: For a natural exfoliating paste, add a pinch of oatmeal, honey and turmeric.
3. Steam it out (open the holes)
A small face-staming session helps loosen any residual makeup and softe blackheads for easy removal.
Pro tip: Add a few drops of tea tree or lavender essential oil to antibacterial effects.
4. Apply a soothing face mask
Use a cool and hydrating mask to recreate lost moisture and cool the irritated skin.
Diy face mask idea:
- For bright: Honey + curd + turmeric
- For acne: Multani Mitti + Rose Water + Neem Powder
- for dry skin: Mashed banana + honey + milk
5. This is correct
Toning helps to shrink pores and balance the pH of your skin.
Natural Toner: Rose water, green tea, or cucumber water are great chemical-free options.
6. Repurbing with serum or moisturizer
Choose a hydrating serum or light moisturizer with materials such as hyaluronic acid, niacinmide, or vitamin E. They help calm the skin and lock moisture.
Night Tip: Do not leave the moisturizer, even if your skin feels oily. Hydration is important for repair.
7. Don’t forget eyes and lips
The under-i region and lips are also the brunt of heavy makeup.
Use a cold green tea bag or cucumber slices to reduce puffiness.
Apply ghee or a natural lip balm to calm the lips.
Bonus: 3-day skin reset scheme
Day 1: deep cleaning + mask
Day 2: Gentle Exfoliation + Serum
Day 3: Steam + Moisturize + Face Massage
