Nighttime Beauty Habits

Maintaining beautiful and healthy skin is a common goal for individuals of all genders. However, busy schedules and daily stress often hinder self-care routines. To address this, yoga and lifestyle guru Kamya shared a video on her Instagram highlighting five activities that, when practiced for 5–10 minutes before bedtime, can contribute to radiant and healthy skin.

Face Wash: Start by washing your face with lukewarm water and a natural cleanser before bedtime. This simple routine helps remove impurities and prepares the skin for the next steps in your nighttime ritual.
Feet Soak in Warm Water: Treat your feet to a warm water soak for ten minutes before heading to bed. This practice enhances blood circulation, reducing the tendency of veins in the legs to shrink. The result is a decrease in swelling, hydrated skin, reduced stress levels, improved blood flow, better sleep quality, and overall relaxation.
Facial Massage: Dedicate 5–10 minutes to massaging your face before bedtime. Utilize a high-quality facial oil for the massage. This technique is beneficial in reducing wrinkles, alleviating puffiness around the eyes, and minimizing dark circles. Additionally, it helps tighten loose skin around the eyes, leaving your face with a radiant glow.
Foot Massage: Providing a massage to your feet before bed offers various advantages, including relief from menopausal symptoms, improved blood circulation, and alleviation of physical discomfort. This practice contributes to enhanced sleep, relaxation, and mood stability.
Oil in the Navel: Before retiring for the night, apply oil to the navel area. This helps retain skin moisture, clears accumulated dirt, eases menstrual discomfort and stomachaches, and is believed to enhance vision and fertility.

Incorporating these quick and simple activities into your nightly routine can significantly contribute to healthier skin and overall well-being. Despite a hectic schedule, dedicating a few minutes to self-care before bedtime can make a noticeable difference in your skin’s appearance and overall health.
