With two more days for Diwali to kick start, its time to wrap up your shopping and head for last-minute beauty treatments. We have listed 5 quick tips to look beautiful during the festival of lights.
1. Head for a relaxing facial treatment: A relaxing facial treatment accompanied with hydrating and firming masques is a great way to kick start. Festival is the time for you to relax, clean and nourish your skin. Opt for an oxygen facial for that extra boost to a tired and dull looking skin.
2. Try your hands on skin lightening and detan treatment: Running around for Diwali shopping can definitely ruin that beautiful complexion you have cared for. Head for a skin lightening session with fractional laser (Helios), as it will help you get rid of the unwanted tan.
3. Apply skin-lightening serum: In case you have a sensitive or acne prone skin, you might suffer from pimples, acne breakouts or slight redness post a face cleanup. To get rid of this, apply skin lightening serum and moisturizer on full face at night prior to sleeping.
4. Use homemade face pack: Make a face pack comprising of oats, cucumber, almonds and yogurt. Apply it all over the face for 20 minutes and let it dry. Once dry, rinse off well. If you have a dry skin, replace the yogurt with malai or fresh cream.
5. Keep a check on diet and sleep patterns: Your diet and sleep pattern can bring about a change in your health. Also, if you stay healthy from within, you will get to glow naturally. Include fresh fruits and fresh fruit juice in your diet. Go off to bed early and ensure you get at least 8 hours of sleep, especially before the festival. Also, two days prior to Diwali, take two glasses of orange juice to retain the healthy glow on your face.
