How To Give Yourself A Spa Like Facial At Home For Karva Chauth?

Be it lack of sleep, unhealthy diet or environmental stressors, these collectively or individually affect our skin the most, leading to visible fine lines, dull skin and a hotspot for acne and blemishes, whether you are indoors or outdoors. Thus, an effective skincare routine plays an important role, especially to get the healthy glow you desire for the festive season and Karva Chauth.

If you are not able to head out to your favourite spa or salon, we have curated at-home Karva Chauth facial rituals which are easy to carry out in the comfort of your home, and include your favourite Forest Essentials skincare products.
