Quick Tips On Skin Detox Post Diwali

All the heavy foods, sugary treats, and late nights post an indulgent festive season can lead to skin breakouts, visible dullness, and dehydration. Here’s how to detox your skin and restore its natural glow, including some underrated tips by Asha Tanwar, Founder Dusky India.

Prioritize sleep to allow your skin to regenerate. Festivals means celebrating and spending time with families often running into late nights. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality rest to reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Often overlooked, dirty makeup brushes with days of makeup residue can harbor bacteria that lead to breakouts. Clean them weekly especially after the festive season to maintain skin hygiene. 

While it’s tempting to cleanse away excess oil and build up, over-cleansing can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Stick to a gentle cleansing routine.

Give your skin a skincare detox as it has been heavily bombarded with skincare and makeup in the past days. Opt for a simpler CTM routine, avoid introducing new or heavy serums/actives etc in your regime.

Switch from your sugary treats to leafy greens like spinach and kale, which are rich in vitamin A and C. add hydrating foods like cucumbers and watermelon in your diet that will flush toxins from your body, while warm lemon water aids digestion and brightens your complexion.
