Diwali 2025: Every festive season, you may find yourself just as excited as anyone else the sparkle of new outfits, the joy of reunions, and of course, the little thrill of sitting down to do my makeup. But as someone who’s spent years in skincare have also seen how your skin silently struggles under layers of long-wear foundation, shimmer, and setting spray.
By the end of the celebrations, it’s not uncommon to see dullness, dryness, or breakouts making an appearance almost as if our skin is asking for a detox. Shaily Mehrotra, Founder & CEO, Fixderma Skincare shares how to find the perfect festive skincare balance without damaging your skin.
The truth is, makeup should enhance, not exhaust your skin. Over time, I’ve learned that real radiance doesn’t come from more coverage, but from healthier skin beneath. My festive rule is simple: prep, protect, and purify.
Before the first swipe of foundation, start with a gentle cleanser, something pH-balanced that removes grime without disrupting your barrier. If you’re prone to acne or oiliness, a mild salicylic acid cleanser works wonders to keep pores clear. Next, hydrate.
A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer makes your makeup glide on effortlessly, while sunscreen even at night events shields your skin from indoor and blue light damage that often goes unnoticed.
After the festivities, cleansing is non-negotiable. Double cleanse if you’ve worn heavy makeup first to melt it away, then to truly purify the skin. Follow this with a hydrating serum or barrier-repair cream. And when you finally have a breather between celebrations, let your skin rest. Go makeup-free, hydrate, and feed it some calm.
The glow that earns you compliments shouldn’t fade, let your tinted sunscreen amplify it. With its skin-loving protection and sheer radiance, it lets your natural glow shine through because your skin is truly healthy beneath it all. This festive season, let’s celebrate skincare that protects, perfects, and enhances. After all, true confidence begins with luminous, well-cared-for skin.
