Navratri is a season of devotion, vibrant attire, and joyful celebrations. With Garba nights, fasting, and late-night festivities, our skin often bears the brunt of sleepless nights, heavy makeup, and fluctuating hydration. To help you stay radiant and confident throughout the nine days, skincare experts recommend following simple, dedicated rituals each day.

Day 1: Start With Deep CleansingKick off Navratri by giving your skin a fresh start. Use a gentle foam cleanser to remove sweat, dirt, and impurities. For a thorough clean, consider double cleansing with micellar water to keep pores unclogged.

Day 2: Hydration BoostDancing and fasting can dehydrate the skin. Apply a hyaluronic acid serum or aloe vera gel to lock in moisture and maintain a plump, healthy glow.

Day 3: Gentle ExfoliationRevive dull skin by exfoliating with a mild scrub or lactic acid-based product. This removes dead skin cells, smooths texture, and ensures flawless makeup application.

Day 4: Replenish With a Sheet MaskMidway through the festival, refresh your skin with antioxidant-rich sheet masks containing green tea or vitamin C. This helps restore energy to tired, stressed skin.

Day 5: Care for Lips and EyesDelicate areas need attention too. Apply a nourishing lip balm and caffeine-based eye cream to reduce puffiness, dryness, and fatigue around the eyes.

Day 6: Don’t Skip SunscreenEven if your festivities are mostly indoors, SPF is crucial. Sun protection prevents pigmentation and keeps skin even-toned and healthy.

Day 7: Nighttime RepairA consistent night routine is essential. Use a lightweight night cream or retinol serum to repair skin while you sleep, ensuring a refreshed morning glow.

Day 8: DIY Glow PacksNatural, homemade face packs made with ingredients like curd, honey, turmeric, and rose water help calm, brighten, and nourish skin gently and effectively.

Day 9: Minimal Makeup and DetoxOn the final day, give your skin a break. Opt for minimal makeup or just a tinted moisturizer and lip tint, allowing your skin to breathe.

By dedicating a single ritual to each day, Navratri can remain a celebration of beauty, energy, and joy without compromising skin health. Consistency, hydration, sun protection, and mindful care are the keys to achieving radiant, festival-ready skin throughout the nine days.
