Before stepping out to play Holi, apply a thick layer of moisturizer. It creates a barrier, making it easier to wash off the colours and preventing them from drying out your skin.

To protect your skin from harmful UV rays, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. This will shield you from both the sun and the chemicals in the colours.

Choose natural and organic colours made from plant-based ingredients because chemical-based colours can cause irritation and damage your skin.

Wear full-sleeve shirts and long pants to protect your skin from harmful chemicals.

Also, you can apply a layer of coconut or olive oil to your skin before playing Holi. Oils act as a shield, making it easier to remove colors and keeping your skin moisturized.
