Nidhi Katiyar’s 101 Navratri skincare tips for that pre and post-garba glow!

Since you have been planning your outfits for nine days, Nidhi Katiyar helps you plan your skincare routine with her pre and post-garba routine.

There is never a day to not take care of your skin, especially during Navratri when you will be sweating, panting, and killing it on the dance floor. We spend nine days getting ready, trying out looks recommended by creators, and making the most of the opportunity to be a part of a community. Garba nights are all about vibrant fashion and flawless makeup, but it all starts with prepping your skin for the long hours ahead. A solid skincare routine ensures your makeup stays intact through the dance and helps your skin recover post-celebration. As we continue to kill it on the dance floor, beauty and fashion influencer Nidhi Katiyar lays down her pre and post-garba routine to ensure our skin is excited for the season just like us.

Here are some Navratri skincare tips she recommends!

Pre-garba skincare routine:

Cleanse: Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt and excess oils. If you’ve been out in the sun, opt for a detan face wash with ingredients like Niacinamide or Vitamin C to brighten your skin. For acne prone skin, pick something that has Salicylic Acid.

Hydrate: Follow up with a hydrating toner or mist. You need a burst of moisture before layering products to keep your skin feeling fresh all night.

Moisturize: Choose a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that locks in hydration but won’t make your skin oily under makeup. A gel-based one works great for this.

Prime: Never skip a good primer! It ensures your makeup stays intact through all the garba moves and sweat.

Post-garba skincare routine:

Double cleanse: After dancing the night away, use micellar water or an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to thoroughly clean your skin.

Exfoliate: Slough off the dead skin cells and sweat with a gentle exfoliant, helping your skin breathe and reset.

Repair and hydrate: Apply a serum with Hyaluronic Acid or soothing ingredients like aloe vera to replenish the lost hydration. Finish off with a night cream that targets skin repair.

Don’t forget to treat your lips and eyes with nourishing balms and creams, and you’re good to slay the Garba glow, pre and post!
