Festive Season Skin Mistakes to Avoid
The festive season in Hyderabad is full of lights, laughter, and endless celebrations — but your skin can easily pay the price! From late nights to sugary treats, here are the most common festive skincare mistakes and how to keep your glow intact.
Skipping Sleep for Celebrations
Late-night gatherings are fun, but skipping sleep affects your skin’s ability to repair. Puffy eyes, dullness, and dark circles can easily follow. Try to get at least 7 hours of rest, and use a cooling eye gel to soothe tired skin.
Overindulging in Sweets & Alcohol
Mithai and cocktails are part of the celebration, but excess sugar and alcohol lead to dehydration and breakouts. Balance the fun with antioxidants — think green tea, berries, and pomegranate — and drink plenty of water.
Sleeping with Makeup On
After a long evening, it’s tempting to skip cleansing — but makeup clogs pores and accelerates aging. Always double-cleanse using a gentle oil-based cleanser followed by a mild foaming one to ensure a clean, glowing face.
Forgetting Sunscreen for Day Events
Even winter sun can harm your skin. UV rays penetrate clouds and windows, leading to pigmentation. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ before heading to daytime poojas or brunches, and reapply every 3 hours.
Ignoring Professional Skin Care
DIY masks can be risky before big events. For a safe glow, visit a professional clinic for dermatologist-approved treatments like HydraFacial, Glow Peels, or Vitamin Infusions that rejuvenate gently without downtime.
Neglecting Hydration
Between makeup and stress, your skin loses moisture fast. Use serums with hyaluronic acid and a nourishing night cream. Drink 2–3 litres of water daily for hydrated, plump skin.
Trying New Products Too Close to Events
Don’t test new serums or exfoliants just days before Diwali — it could cause breakouts or redness. Stick to what your skin knows, or introduce new products at least two weeks before.
