Karwa Chauth is a cherished tradition where married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, celebrating love and devotion. While the day holds deep cultural significance, the long hours without food or water can sometimes take a toll on the skin, making it appear dull or dry. Achieving a radiant glow even during fasting requires mindful skincare, hydration techniques, and gentle routines that nourish from within. Thus, it is important to ensure that the skin stays healthy, luminous and festive-ready for the evening celebrations of Karwa Chauth 2025.
Fasting on Karwa Chauth can challenge your skin’s moisture balance and overall health, especially with seasonal dryness in October. However, with expert guidance, women can maintain supple, glowing skin without compromising the fast’s spiritual essence. From pre-fast preparation, hydrating skincare products and simple home remedies, to evening post-fast rituals, these professional tips are designed to protect and enhance your natural radiance. In conversation with The Daily Jagran, Dr. Rupika Singh, MBBS, MD, Dermatologist and Founder of Akiya Aesthetics, shares science-backed tips to get a glowing skin amidst fasting throughout the Karwa Chauth day.
Tips For Glowing Skin For Karwa Chauth Evening Puja
Hydration Is Quintessential - Fasting can make the skin look dehydrated and dull. Dr. Rupika Singh states, “So always begin your day with a tall glass of water at Sargi time and try to consume hydrating foods such as cucumber, watermelon, coconut water, etc.” Additionally, you can use a face mist or rose water throughout the day to make the skin look fresh.
Minimalistic Routine - Avoid experimenting with new skincare products on the day of the fast. Stick to your trusted cleanser, lightweight moisturiser, and sunscreen if you’re stepping out. A gel-based moisturiser with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera can help maintain your skin’s plumpness and glow even when you’re fasting.

Kitchen Finds - Before you get ready in the evening, try a quick glow mask - mix honey, a pinch of turmeric, and yoghurt. Apply for 10 minutes and rinse off with cool water. This not only soothes your skin but also adds a natural radiance before makeup.

Smart Skin Prep For Makeup - When you start your Karva Chauth glam, begin with a hydrating primer or facial oil to create a smooth base. Dr. Rupika Singh mentions, “Use a dewy foundation or BB cream instead of matte formulas. Highlight high points of your face for a soft, festive glow.”
Though fasting tends to test your endurance levels, your skin doesn’t deserve to show it. With the right blend of hydration, nutrition and care, your skin remains to look glowing and refreshed under the moonlight of Karwa Chauth.
