Holi, one of the liveliest and colorful festivals of the year, is just around the corner.
However, the aftermath of the chemical-laden colors can be unsettling, leaving our skin dry.
It’s essential to take extra care of our skin before and after Holi to avoid any adverse effects.
A night before Holi, massage your body with coconut oil. This hydrates the skin, which leads to less colour absorption the following day.
Use a hydrating toner, then apply a moisturiser and a non-comedogenic sunscreen with 30+SPF or higher on your face, neck, and ears before getting engaged in the celebration.
To prevent dryness and cracks, shield your lips with hemp oil lip butter.
For the body, apply a moisturiser that will keep the skin nourished and safeguard it from harsh colours, such as an organic hemp body oil.
Apply dark nail polish to your nails to avoid harming them. Keep your nails short and coat them with a nail lotion containing Vitamin E.
Holi colours severely dry up your skin, so make sure you double-cleanse properly. Use a good cleansing oil with a cotton ball and let it sit for one minute before washing it off with a mild cleanser.
Avoid exfoliating your skin to get rid of the Holi colours; instead, use a face mask to soothe your skin. Rinse it off after 20 minutes of applying.
