1 / 11 Holi is a vibrant festival of colours, but those colours can be tough on your skin. Before you get into the celebrations, let's get your skin ready with some easy tips, including a few secrets from Korean skincare routines.
2 / 11 Before and after Holi, use a gentle cleanser with a low pH. This helps keep your skin's natural balance. Korean cleansers with ingredients like green tea or rice water are often great choices.
3 / 11 Colours can dry out your skin. After cleansing, apply a hydrating toner, followed by an essence. These are lightweight liquids that add moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, snail mucin, or Centella asiatica.
4 / 11 orean sunscreens are known for their lightweight textures and high protection. Reapply often!
5 / 11 In the days leading up to Holi, use hydrating sheet masks. Korean sheet masks with ingredients like aloe vera, honey, or propolis are excellent.
6 / 11 Don't forget your lips! Use a lip sleeping mask at night.
7 / 11 Before Holi, apply a thin layer of cleansing oil to your skin and hair. Cleansing oils are a popular first step in the Korean double cleanse method.
8 / 11 A few days before Holi, use a gentle chemical exfoliant with AHAs or BHAs. Avoid physical scrubs right before Holi.
9 / 11 After playing, double cleanse! First, use a cleansing oil to remove the colour. Then follow with a foam or gel cleanser.
10 / 11 After cleansing, apply a centella asiatica ampoule. Centella asiatica is a calming ingredient that reduces redness and irritation.
11 / 11 After your evening routine, apply a sleeping pack. And, its done!
