The festival of Diwali symbolizes celebration, happiness and unity, but it can also affect your skin due to dirt, heavy makeup and staying up late at night. Here are six essential oils that can make your Diwali skincare routine even better:
- lavender oil : Lavender is known for its calming properties, making it extremely beneficial for stress-related skin problems such as redness or irritation. It helps in bringing mental peace after night time festivities. Add it to your moisturizer at night or use it while taking steam.
- tea tree oil :Tea tree oil has antimicrobial properties, which help fight acne caused by heavy makeup. You can add it to your toner or dilute it and apply it directly to blemishes to reduce inflammation.
- rosehip oil : Rich in Vitamin A and C, Rosehip Oil revitalizes the skin and reduces dark spots. It revives tired skin after festivals due to pollution and light. Apply it before sleeping and feel young.
- frankincense oil : This ancient oil is very famous for its anti-aging properties. It helps in increasing the elasticity of the skin so that you remain glowing even after Diwali. Add a few drops to your serum or put it in a diffuser and feel the relaxation.
- chamomile oil : Chamomile is great for sensitive skin as its cooling effect reduces irritation and redness. Use it in your masks for added nourishment, plus it will also act as aromatherapy for you.
- ylang-ylang oil :This oil can balance sebum production and can be applied on all skin types. Whether your skin is oily or dry, ylang-ylang oil revitalizes your skin and makes it smooth.
