As the grand harvest festival of Onam rolls around, Kerala comes alive with vibrant celebrations. From the lip-smacking Onam Sadhya to the intricate beauty of the Pookalam decorating your doorstep, it’s a season where everything shines a little brighter—and so should you! This Onam, TheGlitz says… why not take a page out of Rashmika Mandanna’s beauty book and treat yourself to an indulgent bathing ritual that not only revives your spirit but leaves your skin glowing with the brilliance of the festival itself?
Onam Say
The ITC Fiama brand ambassador spills her go-to beauty secrets for achieving that perfect festive glow, saying, “The festive season is my absolute favourite because it gives me a break from my hectic life. My secret weapon for glowing through the festivities? Sandalwood! Its natural moisturizing properties are like a gateway to flawless, radiant skin. The unique blend of Fiama Golden Sandalwood Oil and Patchouli Shower Gel is my personal go-to for rejuvenating my senses and giving my skin that golden Onam glow.”
Here’s how you, too, can glow like a goddess this Onam with a few simple steps:
- Set the Mood with Aromatic Bliss
First things first: vibe check! Kick off your pampering ritual by setting the tone. Light up some aromatic candles or incense sticks with floral and earthy scents that’ll wrap you in a cocoon of serenity. Think sandalwood, jasmine, or even a touch of rose. It’s all about creating that calm, spa-like atmosphere to melt away any pre-Onam stress. Who says you can’t have a little slice of luxury at home? - Choose a Revitalizing Shower Gel
Next, elevate your bath game with a shower gel that feels as refreshing as the first splash of cool water on a hot day. Rashmika swears by the Fiama Golden Sandalwood & Patchouli Body Wash, and for good reason. Not only does sandalwood add a touch of tradition to your bath, but its calming properties will have your skin thanking you while patchouli works its earthy, mood-boosting magic. With every lather, you’ll feel your stress melt away faster than a piece of payasam at the Onam feast. - Finish with a Fragrance Mist
No glowing goddess is complete without a spritz of something fresh. Finish your indulgent bath with a fragrance mist that will keep you smelling divine all day. A citrusy fragrance can give you a zesty, fresh burst, while warm sandalwood notes can provide a traditional, long-lasting scent that’s perfect for Onam’s grand celebrations. Pro tip: Mist it lightly on your pulse points for that lingering festive allure!
Bonus Tip: Glow from the Inside Out
Onam is all about indulgence, and while you’re treating your skin to a glow-up, don’t forget to nourish yourself from the inside. Drink plenty of water, indulge in the delicious Onam Sadhya, and maybe sneak in a yoga session to get that inner glow radiating outward!
