It is important to take precautions before and after playing with colours. We have listed a few pre and post-Holi skincare tips for you:

Pre-Holi:

– Make sure to not use any make-up before playing Holi.

– Use a good lip balm to protect your lips from any chemicals.

– Cleanse and exfoliate your skin well before Holi, this will help get rid of any dirt and dead skin cells.

– Apply moisturiser or oil all over your body, especially on dry areas like elbows and knees.

Post-Holi:

– Massage your skin with coconut oil to remove the colours.

– Use a gentle soap or body wash when bathing.

– Use cold water as it will soothe the skin from the effects of harsh colours.

– Apply a good moisturiser all over your body immediately after a shower, this will help seal in moisture and will provide long-lasting hydration.

– Treat your skin with homemade face packs.

– Drink plenty of water to flush out any toxins from the body.
