We have brought the simplest and most basic steps you can follow in order to protect your skin while playing Holi. Yes, these do not include any of the extreme steps as following them could make your skin barrier worse. Remember, a little goes a long way! So what are we waiting for? Let’s dive into the tips and tricks you can follow before and after playing with the colours.
Skin Prep Before Holi
Before Holi, you can follow the basic everyday skincare routine, which includes cleansing with a normal cleanser and then adding a hydrating moisturiser. Do not forget to add a layer of sunscreen over that because it is more than likely that you will play with the colours out in the open while the sun is out. The stronger the barrier, the easier it will be for your skin to recover fast. Also, it’s worth mentioning that before buying colours, please check the ingredients and opt for skin-safe colours. This will just keep you from taking the unwanted stress of protecting your skin.

Skin Prep- After Holi
Do not forget that your skin will have colours and dust particles at this point. You must be gentle with it while washing it off. It’s recommended that you choose lukewarm water to cleanse your skin, paired with a mild cleanser. Do not scrub or use any strong exfoliants on your face during this time because there is a high chance that it can backfire and make things worse. After cleansing, moisturise with a hydrating gel or a moisturiser. You can also soothe the skin with DIY masks using aloe vera gel or a curd and gram flour mixture because your skin deserves extra care!
It’s usually the little things that make a huge difference. So do not forget to do skin prep before and after the celebration. Happy Holi, stay safe and spread positivity!
