Do the Detox

BENAIFER J. MIRZA helps you detox your skin and body after that overdose of make-up and mithais.

The festive season brings with it fun, joy, excitement…coupled with tiredness and fatigue to the skin, and those extra inches. It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the festive spirit is incomplete without indulgence—be it in dressing up or tucking away sweets. So once the festive days are over, restore your skin to its radiant best and lose those extra kilos you piled on with these simple tips and tricks.

Make-up notes

Shirin Merchant, Owner, Kut N Make Salon, advises to go easy with your make-up after the festive season. She notes:

- Protect your skin with a layer of moisturiser before applying any make-up

- Avoid mascara, as it’s difficult to remove

• Use a moisturising lipstick instead of a transfer-resistant one; a gloss would also do

- Use a good coverage compact instead of a cream or liquid foundation

She adds, “Don’t keep your make-up on for very long during the festive days, and remember to remove it thoroughly, especially eye make-up, after the occasion.”
