Eid is a time to shine, and that includes your skin! But with Pakistan's hot and humid weather, having a skincare routine is important to keep you glowing without feeling greasy. That's why we've sorted out the best skincare routine you can follow on the occasion. So, let's not wait anymore and reveal the secrets you need to hear!
Step 1: Cleansing
Before applying any product, it's necessary to clean your skin thoroughly. Don't forget this step even if you stay at home throughout the day. So, start with washing away the dirt, sweat, oil buildup, and maybe some leftover iftar! However, with Pakistan's scorching heat conditions, you don't want anything too harsh. Opt for a gentle, gel-based cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin's natural oils.
Step 2: Exfoliating
Cleansing alone is not enough; you need something more: exfoliation! It buffs away dead skin cells, revealing the brighter, smoother skin underneath. This is especially important before Eid, as it helps makeup go on smoother and last longer. However, don't overdo it. Exfoliate 1-2 times weekly with a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant (depending on your skin type) to avoid irritation.
Step 3: Toning
Not long ago, toners were a must-have, but many dermatologists now consider them optional. Toners can help refresh the skin and balance its pH levels. However, if you're using one, choose an alcohol-free and hydrating toner that leaves your skin feeling refreshed, smooth, and not tight.
Step 4: Moisturizing
Moisturizers are your best friends, so never break up with them! However, it's also important to recognize your skin type before opting for one. For instance, if your skin is acne-prone and oily, choose a water-based moisturizer that hydrates your skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Similarly, if you need hydration, apply a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera that locks in moisture without clogging pores.
Step 5: Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a must, Eid or not! The harsh sun can damage your skin if you're stepping out to take Eid selfies. So, make sure your routine has a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher non-comedogenic sunscreen (meaning it won't clog pores). Apply it generously 15 minutes before stepping outside and reapply every two hours, especially if you're sweating. However, if your skin is prone to sweating, opt for the water-based and oil-free texture.
