Actor John Abraham says he is going to celebrate a
"cracker-free" Diwali, and will ensure he sticks to his skin and body care
regime.
The actor, brand ambassador of Garnier Men, talked about his
perfect Diwali:
* Not so sweet Diwali: I do love looking at sweets, but
from a distance. I never indulge in them. I am very particular about my fitness
regime and keep sweets at bay, while enjoying the occasion with friends and
family to the fullest.
* Going cracker-free: Bursting crackers during
Diwali is bad not just for the environment, but also your own health. The smoke,
noise and pollution does so much harm to our surroundings, to animals and to our
body. While some may believe that crackers are the only way to celebrate Diwali,
there is so much more one can do.
* Taking care of skin: Irrespective of
the occasion or festival, taking care of your skin is a must. Diwali will come
and go, but the residue of all the pollution, the effects of all the partying
stay on, unless cleansed correctly. So, I make sure not to wander away from my
regular routine of cleansing my face with the facewash that consists of Matcha
green tea in it as it gives my skin a pleasant, clean and 100 per cent oil-free
feel while respecting its natural moisture.
* Go traditional: I love how
men and women today are equally excited about dressing up for the festive
season. From picture-perfect traditional clothes, matching accessories, groomed
beards and impeccable skincare, both men and women are going the extra mile to
look glamorous for the occasion.
* Me time: Diwali brings happiness,
togetherness and crazy celebrations along with an excessive dose of food. It
feels like the whole country lights up in the warm glow of Diwali lights,
dispersing positivity all over. This makes it very special for me - the positive
vibes all over, and the time that I get to spend with my family is truly
precious and the best gift I could ask for.
