You’ve booked your tickets and packed all the gifts that you ordered online. You’re all set to toss those food resolutions out of the window for the next few weeks. Like every year, you’ve mentally prepared yourself for a filmi welcome on reaching home - one that involves an aarti ki thaali, a slow motion run and melodramatic background music. Yes, Diwali is round the corner and this is now an annual exercise for you.

But here’s a twist. While your family’s faces will definitely brighten up on seeing you, how about going home this time with a ‘presentable face’? All you need to do is to style your facial hair well and then see how your face looks crisp and sharp. This doesn’t mean you need to necessarily sport a clean-shaven look though that can always be an option. Just pick up that Gillette Mach 3 razor and style your facial hair the way you want to. You can shave off the overgrown parts, which in itself will give you a well-groomed look. It would be a good idea to surprise your family this time with a cleaner avatar and what better occasion than Diwali to show them how you really look.

It’s perfectly okay to even sport a well-styled beard with less facial hair like Suresh Raina and Hardik Pandya, but maintain it well. After all, even you want to look good in your #DiwaliLook pictures. To be honest, who doesn’t like a few extra likes and flattering comments?

Besides, let’s not forget the practical advantages. No more hearing ‘gunda lag raha hai’ from random relatives and those unwanted stares. Given that it’s Diwali, you will undoubtedly be stuffing your face with every sweet and namkeen there is. With a well-groomed beard, there’s no question of crumbs sticking to it. So no awkward moments at Diwali parties where people come up to you and tell you ‘Were you eating or feeding your beard?’. Not to forget, it’s the most economical makeover ever. All you need is a little help from Gillette and you’re sorted.

So this time, even as you go about preparing for Diwali the way you always do, take some time out to look presentable. Make sure to post some updates on social media too and inspire your friends to have a sharply groomed look.
