Dussehra to Diwali: A Festive Skin and Hair Care Timeline
Dussehra marks the start of the festive stretch. Spread your care across the next two weeks instead of rushing before Diwali.

Why a timeline helps
Festive weeks are busy, so planning your self-care in small steps keeps you from rushing. Do the basics now, the treats next week and rest in the final days.
- Week one: routine and hair oiling.
- Week two: scrub, mask and gifts.
- Final days: rest and simple care.
- Keep a checklist on your phone.
Stay flexible
If life gets busy, drop a step. Sleep and water matter most.
