The Skanda Purana also enlists a few forbidden things while describing the Vidhi or procedure of observing fast in the month of Kartika.<ref name=":1" /> It says,
वस्त्वालोकनगन्धादिस्वादितं परिकीर्तितम् ।। अन्यस्य वर्जयेद्वासं ग्रासानां संप्रमोक्षणम् ।।६१।।
गात्राभ्यंगं शिरोभ्यंगं तांबूलं सविलेपनम् ।। व्रतस्थो वर्जयेत्सर्वं यच्चाऽन्यच्च निराकृतम् ।। ६२ ।।
न व्रतस्थः स्पृशेत्कंचिद्विकर्मस्थं न चालपेत्।।<ref name=":2" />
Meaning: Sweet scents and flavours are forbidden. Other men's morsel ie. food should be avoided and morsels of food must be distributed. The person abserving the Vrata should abstain from anoninting the body or the head with oil, eating betel leaves and application of unguents. Whatever is forbidden should be avoided. The person observing the Vrata should not touch anyone engaged in forbidden activities, nor should he talk to him.<ref name=":1" />

In Skanda Purana, having heard about the greatness of Kartika Vrata from Brahma, Narada enquires as to what can be done incase one lacks the capacity to perform the Vrata. It is then revealed by Brahma that the merits of the Vrata may also be attained through certain other means like providing monetary help to a Brahmana or by getting his disciple, servants, women or any worthy person to perform the Vrata on his behalf.<ref>The Skanda Purana ([https://holybooks-lichtenbergpress.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Skanda-Purana-Part-6.pdf Part 4]), Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass Publishers.</ref>
