Top 5 Skincare Habits That Ruin Your Glow Before Festive Season

You swipe through your camera roll. There, in all your best outfits & makeup, there’s still something missing — that skin‑glow that makes everything pop. With Navratri and Diwali around the corner, you want your skin to radiate confidence, not look dull under garba lights.

Here are 5 sneaky skincare habits that dim your glow — and what to do instead, so you can flaunt ever‑radiant skin this festive season. With TopUp GLOW in your routine, many of these damage loops can be reversed.

1. Scrubbing Like It’s a Ritual
 You think extra scrubs = smoother skin, but what you often get is microtears + over‑stripping. Especially in monsoon/humidity, harsh exfoliation leads to barrier damage, irritation, and worse pigmentation.
 What to do: Switch to gentle acid exfoliants once‑weekly (BHA / LHA / mild AHA). Use rich moisturizers + safe antioxidant inside (i.e., glutathione formula in GLOW).

2. Missing Internal Antioxidants Because You Don’t “See” Them
 Everyone uses serums and sheet masks, but oxidative stress works from inside out: pollution, late nights, stress. Without internal defense, topical care only goes so far.
 What to do: Take TopUp GLOW daily—glutathione + Vitamin C—in effervescent form for faster uptake. Pair with fruits + greens rich in antioxidants.

3. Sunscreen Laziness (Especially Indoors or Under Lights)
 You think UV doesn’t matter indoors? Harsh lights, screens, even glass windows leak UVA — all contribute to fine lines & pigmentation. Skipping SPF is like letting your glow fade before it even starts.
 What to do: Use SPF 30+ daily. Touch up during day. Let GLOW support repair of existing damage to avoid “half‑changed” skin tones.

4. Burning Out Your Sleep & Drowning in Stress
 We all hustle—between work calls, family, chores, festive shopping. But sleepless nights and stress hormones (cortisol) create internal inflammation, dull skin, breakouts.
 What to do: Prioritize rest. Deep breathing or meditation. Use GLOW at night for repair. Sleep masks, aromatherapy to signal rest.

5. Neglecting Hydration + Eating More Sweets
 Dry indoor air, spicy food, sugary snacks, chai with masala — all desiccate your skin or feed inflammation. Dehydrated skin looks lifeless; sugar accelerates glycation (hello dullness & sag).
 What to do: Drink 2‑3L water daily. Use effervescent GLOW (water + supplement). Choose glowing foods (berries, citrus, nuts), reduce refined sugar.

How TopUp GLOW Fits in the Picture

• Glutathione (OPITAC® Japanese grade) works at cellular level to reduce melanin formation, repair oxidative damage, even skin tone.
  
  
• Vitamin C synergizes—helps brighten, supports collagen, helps with UV protection.
  
  
• The effervescent format boosts hydration + speed, giving you an advantage vs capsules or creams alone.
