Ganesh Festival Face Care: Dermatologist’s Advice

By M-Aesthetics Skin Clinic, Baner | Dr. Akshay Mirajkar – Dermatologist in Pune

The festive season of Ganesh Chaturthi is filled with devotion, gatherings, and joy. However, during this period, the skin on the face often undergoes stress due to heat, long outdoor hours, makeup, pollution, and irregular routines. These factors may cause acne breakouts, pigmentation, dullness, or skin irritation.

As dermatologists, we see a rise in such cases during festivals. Therefore, it is important to understand how to take care of your skin properly.

1. Hydration and Sun Protection Are Essential

  • Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and coconut water, to keep skin hydrated from within.
  • Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30–50). Even if indoors, indirect sunlight and artificial lights can worsen pigmentation.
  • Reapply sunscreen every 3–4 hours when outdoors for rituals or processions.

2.Cleansing and Pollution Control

  • Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser suitable for your skin type.
  • After outdoor exposure, double cleansing is recommended to remove dust, sweat, and makeup residues.
  • Avoid harsh scrubs or over-exfoliation, which can damage the skin barrier.

3.Makeup During Festivals

  • Use only non-comedogenic products.
  • Remove makeup thoroughly at night with micellar water or cleansing oil.
  • Do not sleep with makeup, as it can lead to clogged pores and acne
  • Avoid sharing cosmetics to reduce infection risk.

4.Common Skin Issues Seen During Festivals

  • Acne Breakouts: Do not squeeze or apply random home remedies. Visit a dermatologist for proper treatment.
  • Pigmentation and Dark Spots: These worsen with sun exposure. Sun protection and prescribed creams are necessary — do not start creams without medical advice.
  • Dullness and Fatigue: Caused by late nights and stress. Proper rest and scientifically proven treatments help restore brightness.

5.Important Caution

Many people start new creams, peels, or strong actives just before festivals for a quick glow. This often leads to irritation, allergies, or worsening of pigmentation. Please do not use any new product without consulting a qualified dermatologist.
