Chhath Puja is one of the most spiritually uplifting and visually beautiful festivals, but it is also one of the most demanding on your skin. Hours spent outdoors during sunrise and sunset rituals, exposure to harsh sun, fasting, and long ceremonies by rivers or water bodies can leave your skin tired, dehydrated, and tanned. That’s why following the right Chhath Puja skincare tips becomes essential to maintain your glow and keep your skin healthy. With a balance of natural remedies and protective care, you can ensure your skin shines as bright as your devotion this festive season.
Here are five simple and effective skincare tips that bring together Chhath Puja glow, sun protection tips, and natural solutions for your skin.
1. Start with a Purifying Cleanse
Festivals often begin before dawn, and your skin needs a refreshing start too. Overnight buildup of sweat, oil, and dust can leave your face looking dull. Begin your day with the N4N Orange and Ginger Lily Face Wash, a gentle yet effective cleanser that detoxifies and energises your skin. The natural citrus extracts brighten instantly, while ginger lily helps reduce impurities, leaving your face clean and ready for the long day ahead. For the rest of your body, try the N4N Jojoba and Lotus Detoxifying & Purifying Body Wash. Lotus purifies, jojoba hydrates, and together they leave your skin soft, supple, and glowing, perfect for the ritual baths that are central to Chhath Puja.
2. Shield Your Skin with Sun Protection
One of the most important festival skincare steps during Chhath Puja is guarding against the sun. Since rituals involve standing in water during sunrise and sunset, your skin is directly exposed to UV rays for long periods. Skipping sunscreen is simply not an option. Use the N4N Lodhra & Gotu Kola SPF 35 PA++ Sunscreen which provides broad-spectrum protection while nourishing your skin with natural botanicals. Unlike heavy chemical sunscreens that can clog pores, this formula feels light, non-sticky, and keeps tanning and dullness at bay. Apply generously on your face, neck, and all exposed areas at least 20 minutes before rituals, and reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors for extended hours.
3. Hydrate and Nourish During Fasting
Fasting during Chhath Puja can leave your skin looking dehydrated and fatigued. Since water intake is restricted at certain times, topical hydration becomes even more important. A few drops of N4N Day Face Serum can replenish lost moisture and deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients directly to your skin. Follow it up with the N4N Day Face Cream, which locks in hydration and creates a protective barrier against environmental stressors. Together, this duo ensures that your skin remains soft, plump, and radiant even when your body is undergoing fasting.
4. Pamper Your Lips
Lips are often the first to show signs of dryness during long rituals and fasting. To avoid cracks and flakiness, keep the N4N Orange & Bacuri Butter Lip Balm handy. Rich in nourishing butters and infused with the citrusy freshness of orange, it hydrates deeply and protects against sun and wind exposure. Reapply as needed throughout the day, especially if you’ll be outdoors for extended hours.
5. Evening Recovery and Ritual Wind-Down
After the prayers and offerings, your skin deserves recovery just as much as your body does. Cleansing away sweat, dust, and sunscreen is key. Use the N4N Orange and Ginger Lily Face Wash again in the evening to gently wash off impurities without stripping your skin. For your body, a calming rinse with the Jojoba & Lotus Body Wash will leave you feeling refreshed and purified. End your night routine with the N4N Night Repair Cream as a light moisturiser to restore hydration. If your skin feels particularly tanned or stressed, apply a soothing homemade mask of aloe vera and cucumber to calm irritation overnight.
