Diwali, the dazzling Festival of Lights, is just around the corner. As the festivities approach, it's time to prioritize your skin and achieve a radiant glow that complements the celebratory spirit. While last-minute salon visits might be tempting, a well-planned and consistent skincare routine specifically tailored to suit your skin, is the key to achieving healthy, luminous skin for Diwali.

The season change that comes with Diwali demands a skincare routine that is best suited for the cold weather. Especially including steps like exfoliation to remove the dead, flaky skin and other particulate matter, and moisturising is very important.

Read through for the best winter skincare tips to prepare your skin for Diwali. 

1. Cleansing  

As the winter season rolls in, it is important to upgrade your skincare routine from summer essentials to winter essentials. Begin by swapping your oil control- summer face washes to a mild cleanser that is gentle on your skin yet keeps the dirt, microbes, and gunk at bay. Instead of your usual face wash, try the VLCC Hydra Nourish Serum Face Wash with Hyaluronic Acid Serum & Aloe Vera, which is packed with the goodness of Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates the skin, controls inflammation and keeps your skin from drying up. Its moisturizing and non-stripping properties makes it one of the best face wash for glowing skin. This facewash is free of sulphates and parabens, making it suitable for sensitive skin. If you have a more oily skin type, then the VLCC Clinic Skin Clarifying De-Tan Face Wash with Glycolic Acid & Vitamin C will help exfoliate excess oil on your skin and brighten it. 

2. Exfoliation 

Exfoliation is a crucial step in achieving a glowing complexion. It removes dead skin cells, allowing for better product absorption and revealing a brighter, smoother surface. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week, depending on its sensitivity. Choose a gentle exfoliator like the VLCC Clinic Micro Exfoliating Face Scrub with Lactobionic Acid, the gentlest AHA & Rice Exfoliator that will preserve your skin’s moisture as well as nourish it. 

3. Facial 

Want tips for glowing skin? You are at the right place. For an extra Diwali glow boost, consider incorporating facial treatments into your routine. Here are a few options

• Gold Facials: Known for their anti-aging properties, gold facials help detoxify and purify skin as well as improve skin suppleness. The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of gold can also help heal inflammatory skin conditions. The VLCC Gold Facial Kit with 24K Gold  is a great facial for glowing skin.

• Diamond Facials: Designed to address uneven skin tone and inflammation, diamond facials gently exfoliate and stimulate cell renewal, promoting a brighter, more even complexion. The VLCC Diamond Facial Kit is a great way to enhance glow, and achieve younger looking skin. 

• Charcoal Facials: If you have extra oily skin, a charcoal based facial is a great way to extract gunk that cause whiteheads, blackheads and dead skin cells. Pick the VLCC Activated Bamboo Charcoal Facial Kit for smooth and clear skin. 

4. Moisturization 

Colder temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin, causing dryness and irritation. Combat this by incorporating deeply nourishing moisturizers into your routine. Pamper your skin with the VLCC Clinic ProRescue Bio Face Cream with ceramides and peptides that deeply nourish your skin and protect skin barrier from damage and dryness. If you are looking for the best moisturizer for glowing skin, consider the VLCC Shea & Vitamin E Body Butter  or the Almond Honey Deep Nourishing and Skin Brightening Lotion for their intense hydration and skin-brightening effects. Remember, explore options that suit your budget and preferences!

5. Balanced Diet  

While external skincare plays a vital role, true radiance comes from within. Prioritize a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish your skin from the inside out. Consume plenty of water throughout the day to maintain hydration, a key factor for healthy, glowing skin. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats, as they can contribute to breakouts and a dull complexion. Opt for fresh, home-cooked meals whenever possible to provide your skin with the best possible nourishment.

6. Sleep & Exercise 

Adequate sleep is vital for maintaining healthy skin. Aim for 8 hours of restful sleep each night to prevent dullness, dryness, and the appearance of dark circles. When you're sleep-deprived, your skin loses its ability to repair and regenerate itself. To complement your sleep routine, incorporate regular exercise into your lifestyle. Physical activity increases blood flow, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients to your skin, promoting a healthy glow. If you are dealing with under eye bags, dark circles or puffy eyes, you can choose an effective and hydrating under eye treatment like the VLCC Eternal Youth Skin Firming Under Eye that reduces puffiness and the fatigue under your eyes. It also has ingredients such as peptides that boost collagen production. Collagen is known to promote cell regeneration which in turn reduces the appearance of dark circles..

To show off your Diwali glow this holiday season, create a decent fitness routine and adhere to it along with a healthy diet. If you want to strengthen your body and reduce stress, consider going to the gym, doing power yoga, or engaging in any other physical exercise. Your skin and scalp will receive more blood flow and oxygen thanks to physical exercise, leaving you with a pure luminous shine.

In conclusion, follow these simple tips to ensure a glowing, radiant festive glow that outshines the lights. Explore VLCC range of products for healthy and beautiful skin.
