A South Asian beauty director and brand founders reveal the beauty swaps they make when celebrating Diwali.
Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains around the world, is upon us. I love this time of the year. For me, it signals the start of cosy season: knits on, central heating cranked up, mugs and mugs of hot chai. From late October I’ll have the twinkly lights down from the loft – they won’t return up there until early January – and I buy myself a Diptyque Feu De Bois candle each autumn to ensure my olfactory system is suitably cosy, too.
This focus on comfort and warmth is a strong theme in Ayurveda, and it applies to body care, too, with the practice of ‘Abhyanga’, which means to massage one’s body in Sanskrit. In the winter I’ll switch up my light body lotions and for more unctuous, rich oils. Nikita Mehta, co-founder of Fable & Mane, also sees this time of the year as a chance to declutter.
