Dussehra brings with it the joy of new beginnings, family gatherings, and festive feasts. It’s the season of temple visits, photos in your finest ethnic wear, and a day when everyone seems to shine a little brighter. But with sweets on the table, hectic schedules, and layers of makeup, your skin can quickly feel overwhelmed. If you’re looking to hold on to that natural glow through the day, here’s a skincare routine that blends easy steps, home remedies, and nature’s touch to keep you radiant from morning puja to evening celebrations.
A Morning Routine Before Dussehra Puja
Festive mornings often start early, and your skin deserves the same freshness that the day promises. Begin with a gentle cleanse that washes away the night’s oils without leaving your face tight or dry - N4N’s Facial Cleanser is a perfect start. A spritz of rose water or aloe mist instantly cools and revives, almost like a mini wake-up call for your skin. Follow it up with a moisturiser that hydrates without heaviness, keeping your face comfortable through long rituals and family lunches. Sunscreen, of course, is non-negotiable, even for morning pujas indoors, it guards your skin against dullness. A touch of tinted balm and a stroke of kajal, and you’re ready to step into the day with grace and glow.
DIY Face Packs for Instant Glow
There are days when your skin feels like it needs an extra push, and Dussehra morning can be one of them. Luckily, your kitchen has all the magic you need. A quick mix of honey and turmeric brings instant brightness, while multani mitti with rose water mattifies oily zones without stealing away the glow. For something more nourishing, papaya blended with yogurt smooths out uneven texture and leaves your skin soft to the touch. Apply one of these for fifteen minutes, rinse off. The result? A glow that feels natural and effortless, not layered on.
Foods and Hydration for Festival Radiance
Skincare isn’t only about creams and cleansers, what you eat shows up on your skin faster than you think. Dussehra often comes with rich meals and sugary treats, and while enjoying them is part of the celebration, balancing them with skin-loving foods makes all the difference. Start the day with warm water infused with lemon or mint to flush out toxins. Snack on juicy fruits like pomegranate or orange, both rich in antioxidants, and keep a handful of almonds or walnuts nearby for healthy fats that plump your skin from within. Most importantly, sip water steadily through the day. Festivals are busy, and it’s easy to forget, but hydration is the simplest glow secret of all.
Makeup Prep for a Skin-Friendly Festive Look
The right prep makes makeup feel like a celebration, not a burden. Once your skin is cleansed and moisturised, a thin layer of aloe vera gel doubles up as a natural primer. It calms the skin, smooths the surface, and makes sure your makeup doesn’t slip away halfway through the day. Skip the heavy foundation, opt instead for breathable BB creams or mineral bases that let your skin look like skin. A dab of cream highlighter on your cheekbones adds a dewy finish, while a rosy lip completes the look. To keep everything in place, mist your face with N4N’s Rose Mist - it locks in makeup and keeps you feeling fresh long after the puja is done. And when the day winds down, remember: removing your makeup is as important as applying it. Your skin will thank you the next morning.
