Navratri is just around the corner, and the excitement of Garba nights is already in the air! But amidst planning your outfits, jewellery, and dance moves, one essential detail often gets overlooked — your skin. Glowing, healthy skin is the perfect accessory to your festive look. Whether you’re twirling in a colourful chaniya choli or flaunting a subtle Indo-fusion look, your face deserves to shine as brightly as the festive lights.
At Kapils Salon, we meet many clients in Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad asking: “Which treatment should I book before Garba — a Detan, a Brightening Facial, or a Hydrafacial?” Here’s an expert breakdown to help you make the right choice for your skin type and schedule.
Why Pre-Garba Skin Prep Matters
Dancing for hours under bright lights, exposure to dust, and heavy festive makeup can take a toll on your skin. Prepping your skin ensures:
- A radiant, even-toned base for makeup.
- Reduced dullness caused by pollution or tanning.
- Hydrated, plump skin that doesn’t flake or look cakey under foundation.
- Long-lasting glow through all nine nights.
Expert insight from Kapils Salon’s senior aestheticians:
“Prepping your skin at least 2–3 days before Navratri allows treatments to settle and enhances your glow when you step out for Garba.”
Option 1: D-tan Treatment – For Quick Tan Removal
If you’ve been out shopping or travelling and noticed stubborn tan, a D-tan facial is your quick fix.
- Best For: Oily to combination skin, or anyone with visible sun exposure.
- How It Works: A blend of exfoliation and brightening masks helps remove surface tanning and revive your natural tone.
- Why Choose It: Affordable, time-saving (30–45 minutes), and perfect for last-minute prep.
Pro Tip: Book your detan service 1–2 days before your Garba event to let redness (if any) subside.
Option 3: Hydrafacial – For Deep Hydration & Instant Radiance
If you’re looking for cutting-edge skincare, the Hydrafacial is a clear winner.
- Best For: All skin types, including sensitive skin. Great for bridesmaids or anyone with dehydrated, tired skin.
- How It Works: Using advanced technology, it cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses serums — all in one painless session.
- Why Choose It: Instant plumpness, reduced fine lines, and an undeniable red-carpet glow.
Expert Tip: Book your Hydrafacial 3–4 days before Navratri for maximum results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the benefits of regular salon visits before festivals?
Regular visits ensure your skin and hair are healthy, hydrated, and ready for festive makeup. Professional treatments also prevent damage caused by DIY scrubs or harsh home remedies.
2. How long before Garba should I book my facial?
Ideally, book your facial 2–4 days before your first Garba night so your skin has time to absorb nutrients and settle.
3. Is a Hydrafacial worth it for Navratri?
Absolutely! Hydrafacial delivers instant radiance, making it perfect for multi-day festivities where you want your glow to last.
4. Can I combine services (Detan + Brightening)?
Yes, many clients opt for a D-tan followed by a Brightening facial a few days apart for enhanced results. Ask our experts for a customised plan.
