It is officially the season of Shaadi, Dhamaka and Diwali! The festival of lights is special to us all and involves much cheer, family and lots of amazing outfits and looks! It is also officially that time of the year when you can change to multiple looks and try out different variants & products in makeup. The best part is, even your mom wouldn’t say ‘no’!
All the ‘getting ready’ and ‘making your room a mess’ seems all fun but what wouldn’t seem fun is, if you woke up the next day with a tiny uninvited pimple guest! I know right? The thought itself is so annoying...
So here's what you can do to avoid these annoying little pimples and breakouts with a proper Diwali skincare routine!
Hydrate & Wash
No matter how overwhelming the festive days get, do not forget to stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and fresh fruit juice. This will not only keep you hydrated but it'll also cleanse your system. A clean system is the perfect way to get radiant skin for Diwali and maintain healthy skin for Diwali celebrations.
Secondly, make sure you always remove your makeup well. Double cleanse if you can. Clean, product-free skin is always a happy skin. You can clean your makeup with Iba Soothe N Clean Micellar Water and then follow up with washing your face with the Aloe Aqua Facewash + Makeup Remover. Your skin will be perfectly off makeup.
Follow this every time you remove your makeup, no matter how tired you are! This simple step is essential for maintaining your Diwali glow skincare routine.
Moisturize & Sunscreen
Be it before your makeup or be it after you double cleanse, using a moisturizer is absolutely vital for healthy skin for Diwali. A moisturizer will hydrate your skin and maintain its pH level and also work according to your skin type. If you’re confused about which moisturizer you must pick, then we suggest that you go for the Youth Preserve Skin Glow Power Serum, because this serum is perfect for all skin types and is water based...just perfect for all!
If you’re attending a day time function then make sure you apply your sunscreen before your makeup. Using a sunscreen for your AM outings and functions is as important as your makeup. None of you would like it if you removed your makeup only to see a sunburnt 'you' in the mirror! Protecting your skin is a key part of any Diwali beauty routine.
Scrub and Facemask
All the makeup that you apply on a regular basis tends to clog your pores at times. Bronzers, highlighters, blush, and foundation all have micro particles which may block sebum & impurity disposal from the skin surface. For this, scrubbing is extremely important in your skincare for Diwali celebrations. Make sure you gently scrub at least once a week to get rid of clogged pores and dead skin.
Another important step is a face mask; this isn't just super relaxing, but it also hydrates and brightens your skin from within. You can try the Iba 3 in 1 Instant Facial, which can be used in 3 ways: as a face wash, a scrub, and a face mask. One product and you're all sorted for achieving that perfect Diwali glow skincare look.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How early should I start my Diwali skincare routine?
Start your Diwali skincare routine at least two weeks before the festival. This gives your skin enough time to adapt to any new products and allows you to see visible results. Consistent care during this period ensures radiant skin for Diwali celebrations.
2. Can I skip moisturizer if I have oily skin during Diwali?
No, moisturizing is essential for all skin types, including oily skin. Opt for a lightweight, water-based formula like the Youth Preserve Skin Glow Power Serum. Proper hydration actually helps control excess oil production and maintains healthy skin for Diwali.
3. How often should I use a face mask during the festive season?
Use a hydrating face mask 2-3 times a week during Diwali season. This helps combat the effects of increased makeup use and environmental stress. The Iba 3 in 1 Instant Facial is perfect for maintaining your Diwali glow skincare routine without overloading your skin.
4. Is double cleansing really necessary for Diwali makeup removal?
Yes, double cleansing is highly recommended during festive seasons when you're using heavier makeup. Start with Iba Soothe N Clean Micellar Water, followed by the Aloe Aqua Facewash. This ensures complete makeup removal and is crucial for achieving radiant skin for Diwali.
5. What should I do if I get a breakout right before Diwali?
If breakouts occur, avoid touching or picking at them. Continue your regular Diwali skincare routine, focusing on gentle cleansing and hydration. Use products with natural ingredients and avoid harsh treatments. For persistent issues, consult a dermatologist while maintaining your skincare for Diwali celebrations.
6. Can I use the same skincare products for day and night during Diwali?
While some products can be used both morning and night, your Diwali beauty routine should include sunscreen during the day and more intensive treatments at night. Keep your daytime routine lighter with added sun protection, and use nourishing masks and serums at night for healthy skin for Diwali.
