The Holy Grail Of Beauty: Pre And Post-Garba Skincare And Hair Care Rituals To Swear By
Navratri has officially kicked off today i.e., September 26. You know what this means, right? Mithai, maza, makeup, dressing up and, of course, Garba. Most of us are gearing up to end our day by playing Garba! But you know what else this means? Skincare and hair care problems! Unless we all consciously care for our skin and hair and ensure it stays healthy and clean throughout this festive season. With all that makeup on our skin as we play Garba and sweat, we’re bound to end with clogged pores and dull and exhausted skin, limp hair, and itchy scalp. This is why it is essential to follow a stringent pre and post-Garba skincare and hair care routine. And we’ve got your back. We’ve listed some simple beauty rituals to nourish your hair and skin before and after Garba to keep you looking flawless through the festive season.
Pre Garba Beauty Rituals
1. Sheet Masks
Now is the time to bring out all your sheet masks. The hydration, moisture and glow sheet masks provide are for a minimal period and it’s best to start your pre-makeup or morning skincare routine with a sheet mask (after cleansing, of course).
2. TLC For Skin
Never ever skip out on your skincare routine during the Garba season. If nothing else, stick to a simple CTM skincare regime and cleanse, tone and moisturise your skin at least thrice during this time. Your skin is bound to get stressed during the festive time due to all the sweat, sweets and stress. So, ensure you give it all the care you can.
3. Hydration
Apart from using topical creams to nourish and moisturise your skin, remember to keep yourself hydrated with some water and juices throughout the day to keep your body, skin and hair clean and healthy. You can also drink detox or infused water during the festive season to stay healthier.
4. Hair Care
With all the styling that goes into the Garba look, ensure that you keep your hair happy by applying hair serum and hair protectant spray. Using a hair protectant spray ensures that your hair is safe from all the heat styling. And hair serum keeps it looking lustrous and healthy.

Post Garba Beauty Rituals
1. Remove Your Makeup. PERIOD
Never ever skip this post-Garba beauty ritual. Skincare is important during Navratri because you’re bound to put on makeup again the next day and sleeping with dirt, grime, makeup and sweat on your face is asking for clogged pores and skin woes.
2. Stick To Skincare
Yes, I’m talking about your skincare routine. Simply removing your makeup is not enough for your skin. After all the stress, sweat and grime your skin has dealt with while you were out playing Garba and having fun, it deserves some care and love. So, don’t forget to follow your skincare routine before you hit the sack.
3. Wash Your Hair
After all that sweating and dancing, remember to wash it all off your hair and scalp. It may seem too much of a task but after hours of sweat, dirt and grime layered up on your hair and scalp, it’s bound to bring hair woes if you don’t treat your hair with care and love this festive season.
4. Hair Hydration
Just like our skin and body, our hair also needs hydration and nourishment post a stressful night. Try using a hair mask and a scalp scrub or maybe just oil your hair if possible. If not ensure that you at least use a detangling product or overnight hair cream to nourish and hydrate your hair.
5. Sleep
Yes, getting enough sleep is essential for your mind, body, hair and skin. Lack of sleep won’t just affect your mind and body but it also shows up on your skin and hair and steals away your festive glow.
