Karwa Chauth has always been a celebration of love, devotion, and togetherness. But in today’s world, it’s also a celebration of the self. While women once relied on elaborate traditional beauty routines
for the day-long festival, modern beauty has evolved to focus on mindful self-care, clean ingredients, and effortless radiance. This year, the Karwa Chauth glow isn’t about layers of makeup; it’s about rituals that honour both heritage and the woman behind it.
Ayurveda Meets Modern Wellness
For many, the beauty of Karwa Chauth lies in rituals that connect the inner and outer self. Swagatika Das, CEO and Co-founder of Nat Habit, believes that today’s beauty routines should embody that balance. “Karwa Chauth has always been about celebrating love, not just for our partners, but for ourselves too,” she says.
Her take on the modern glow? “Every woman deserves to shine, not through layers of chemicals, but through rituals rooted in purity, wellness, and mindful care.” It’s a philosophy that resonates with women who are turning away from quick-fix beauty and returning to ingredients that feel close to home, with ingredients like herbs, oils, and time-tested Ayurvedic blends that work in harmony with the skin.
Effortless Glow, Inside And Out
While Ayurveda forms one side of the story, modern beauty is also about convenience and comfort – especially on a day that involves fasting and long hours. Aashka Goradia, CMO and Co-founder of RENEÉ Cosmetics, sees Karwa Chauth as a time for small but meaningful rituals of care.
“Since the day is long and fasting can be tough, taking care of your skin and adding little beauty touches helps you feel fresh and glowing all day long,” she says. Goradia recommends keeping things light: “A good skincare routine, soft makeup around the eyes, and a natural, dewy finish make sure you look radiant without much effort.”
She adds, “Karwa Chauth is not just about how you look, but how you carry yourself through the day with love, patience, and joy. When you feel that inside, your glow shines through naturally.”
The Science Of Instant Radiance
Not everyone has hours to indulge in long routines, and that’s where modern science-led beauty steps in. A spokesperson from Everyuth explains, “We understand that modern beauty rituals are all about quick, effective solutions that fit into today’s fast-paced lifestyle, especially during celebrations like Karwa Chauth.”
One of the best ways for an instant glow is a peel-off mask. “It’s a simple yet indulgent step that delivers visible brightness in minutes – making it a favourite among Gen-Z and millennials alike for its effortless results,” the spokesperson adds.
Whether rooted in Ayurveda, guided by mindful simplicity, or powered by modern science, today’s Karwa Chauth rituals are all about balance – between tradition and innovation, care and convenience.
