Exfoliate: Apply a healthy scrub bath post the festivities. Use products that contain the richness of shea, olive, and Ximena, which have rich oils and will hydrate the skin. It can help in exfoliating dead skin cells and stimulating blood circulation. It makes your skin look fresh.

Steam technique: Use the steam technique to unclog the skin's pores and prevent acne after Diwali. Applying steam helps with the deep cleansing of the skin. It can also help hydrate your skin and make it feel fresh.
