Festivals come and festivals go, even though you have enjoyed yourself thoroughly, your skin has gone through a lot. Time to replenish all the lost lustre by pampering and giving some extra love post festival season!

SCRUB-A-DUB DUB.
Time to pick up your facial scrub and gently exfoliate all the dust, dead skin and blackheads from your skin. Exposure to fireworks, sun and wind can build up on your skin which needs to be scrubbed off. Don’t be too harsh on your skin, be gentle and scrub in circular motion. -
PROTECT YOUR SKIN.
We all love sun-kissed selfies but is it worth it? Make sure you carry your hat or scarf to cover your face while stepping out. Do not skip on sunscreen as it will not only prevent tan but also keep your skin safe from harmful UV rays. -
INCREASE INTAKE OF FRUITS AND NUTS
4pm hunger can lead us to snack on chips and biscuits, instead keep a handful of nuts handy. Not only are they tasty but have tons of benefits for your skin. Cashews can help keep your skin hydrated and almonds are anti-inflammatory. Eating nuts can help your skin stay healthy and prevent redness. -
CUT DOWN ON SMOKING AND ALCOHOL.
Smoking has many pitfalls, including premature wrinkled skin. Nicotine content restricts blood flow to your skin’s blood vessels which in turn leads to you having saggy wrinkled skin. With all the stress your skin goes through during festivals, giving it a smoke free break is the least you can do for your skin to stay healthy.
Alcohol is super dehydrating, and that is the most basic and root cause of all skin problems. Leave that beer alone, pick up a nice kale smoothie instead. -
RELAX AND SPEND TIME DOING THINGS YOU LOVE
When you are happy and engrossed in doing things you absolutely love, our body releases endorphins which are one of the happy hormones. If you stay happy within, your skin will naturally show it. Go for a massage, spend time with your dog or paint that picture you always wanted to! -
CHOCOLATE, STRAWBERRY AND SEX
Isn’t this combination absolutely splendid? Well there is a reason why. Dark chocolate and berries are rich in antioxidants which fight against harmful substances in your body and regulate functions. An occasional dark chocolate teamed up with strawberries will keep your skin happy and healthy. And well sex, you don’t need a reason for it, do you?!
