Hey Beauties, are you excited for Diwali 2024? The much awaited festival of lights is here with delicious treats, flower garlands, rangolis, diyas and lamps! This is an auspicious time to buy new clothes and dress up to celebrate new beginnings. One integral part of the Diwali celebrations is the nostalgic tradition of Abhyanga Snan. Let’s explore the significance of Diwali snan and how it is an integral way of bringing much needed Diwali skincare into our routine this season!
LoveChild brings you some nourishing goodies that will make your Diwali traditions even more special.
The Tradition Of Abhyanga Snan - A Symbol of New Beginnings
The History And Significance Of Abhyanga Snan
Every year on the second day of Diwali: Narak Chaturdashi, the process of oil bath ‘Abhyanga Snan’ involves a deep massage and cleanse that marks a new beginning spiritually.
Relaxing With Sesame Oil Massage
The main part of the Abhyanga Snan is the full body massage with sesame oil – an Ayurvedic tradition passed on through generations. Oil massage with sesame provides nourishment as it penetrates deep into the skin, relaxing the muscles.
Abhyanga snan helps in detoxification & improving stamina, improving overall circulation at the same time moisturising the skin and hair.
This massage is done after doing a Diwali routine, where an ‘ubtan’ is used to exfoliate the body and leave the skin baby soft.
The process of this Diwali ritual provides a sense of tranquillity and comfort as you prepare for the festivities ahead.

Its special serum structure makes it easy to apply under makeup and is the perfect option for celebrations. Throughout Diwali, your skin will remain nourished, glowing, and safe when Surya Namaskar is on your side.
