Healthy, glowing skin is everyone’s dream during the festive season — but how do we achieve it the right way? In this podcast, Dr. Asma Akhlaq (Consultant Dermatologist, CK Birla Hospital, Jaipur) shares practical skincare advice on how to prepare your skin for festivals, bridal events, and an everyday glow — from healthy habits and facials to supplements and pre-bridal care.

👉 Key Questions Answered in this Episode:

Q1. How to beautify the skin during the festive season?

Eat healthy and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Consistency is the key to glowing skin.
◦ Stay well-hydrated.
◦ Always remove makeup before bed.
◦ Apply sunscreen before going outdoors.
◦ Avoid sugary and fatty foods — they trigger dullness, excess oil, inflammation, and acne.

Q2. Can we go for dermatological treatments during the festive season?

Dermatologists first evaluate your skin type and specific concerns.
Suitable options include:
◦ HydraFacial
◦ Glow Peel
These treatments help rejuvenate the skin and add a healthy festive glow.

Q3. How to prepare the skin before festive makeup?

Overnight glow doesn’t exist — consistency is key.
◦ Begin skin preparation 3–4 months before major events.
◦ Always remove makeup and double cleanse your skin.
◦ Use a lightweight moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.
◦ For oily skin: use a clay mask once a week.
◦ For dry skin: apply a hydrating mask twice a week.
◦ Eat antioxidant-rich food and drink plenty of water.
◦ Before makeup, rub an ice cube gently on your face to temporarily minimize pores.


Q4. How should a bride prepare her face before the wedding, and when should she start?

◦ Start your skincare routine 3–6 months before the wedding.
◦ Consult a dermatologist to get a customized regimen.
◦ Avoid trying new products within one month of the event.
◦ Always do a patch test before using anything new.

Recommended treatments:
◦ Glow Peel
◦ HydraFacial
◦ PRP
◦ Micro needling
◦ Glow Drip
◦ Maintain hydration and follow a healthy diet.

Q5. How does makeup affect teenage skin?

◦ Focus on skincare over makeup.
◦ Teenage skin is very sensitive — use minimal products.
◦ Excess makeup can clog pores and cause breakouts.
◦ Mothers should guide daughters about proper skincare habits.
◦ Prefer light makeup: sunscreen, lip balm, and mascara only.

Q6. Should we use luxury skincare products or supplements?

◦ Understand your skin type and needs before using any product.
◦ Trending products on social media may not suit everyone.
◦ Vitamin C – boosts collagen; found in oranges, amla, and citrus fruits.
◦ Omega-3 fatty acids – found in nuts and fish; beneficial for skin health.
◦ Zinc and Biotin – support healthy skin and hair.
◦ Glutathione – an antioxidant that protects the skin from pollution and oxidative damage.
