Pre-Diwali Body Care: Scrub, Soak and Moisturise
Most festive prep is about the face. But arms, legs and feet show too, especially in festive clothes.
Scrub
Use a gentle body scrub once, focusing on elbows and knees.
Soak
A warm soak with Rosemary Epsom Salt relaxes the body. Follow our bath guide.
Moisturise
Apply Avocado Oil or a lotion while skin is damp.
Feet and hands
Soak feet, file gently and moisturise. Wear socks overnight.
Body care is often skipped
We spend time on faces and forget arms, legs and feet. Festival outfits show these areas more, so a gentle weekend routine helps you feel comfortable.
- Scrub elbows, knees and heels.
- Soak for 15 minutes.
- Moisturise while damp.
- Wear loose cotton afterwards.
Finishing touches
File nails, moisturise cuticles and apply lip balm.
