Pre-Holi Skin Care Tip
1. Moisturize your skin and strengthen it
Hydrate your skin before diving into Holi’s colourful celebrations. Choose lightweight moisturizers or hydrating serums that replenish Moisture and strengthen your skin barrier. Use products that contain hyaluronic acids to lock in Moisture. A properly hydrated complexion is more resistant to the drying effects of Holi colours and will ensure a healthy and vibrant complexion during the Holi celebration.
2. Avoid Exfoliation
It’s best to avoid exfoliating treatments or products when preparing for Holi. Exfoliation may strip the skin of its natural barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation by Holi colours. Exfoliants that are too harsh or scrubbing can aggravate sensitivity, causing discomfort both during and after Holi. Focus on moisturizing and cleansing gently to preserve the integrity of the skin and reduce the risk of post-Holi irritation. This will ensure a smoother celebration.
3. Protect your Nails
As part of your skincare routine, make sure to include nail protection. Use a clear base coat or nail polish to protect your nails against the staining effect of Holi colours. This barrier will not only stop the colour from absorbing but also make it easier to remove any stains that may occur. Trim and file your nails as well to reduce the chance of breaking during the festivities.
4. Apply Sunscreen
Remember to use Sunscreen before you immerse yourself in the vibrant celebration of Holi. Choose a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection to protect your skin against harmful UV rays. Cover all exposed areas, such as your face, neck, and arms. Reapply Sunscreen at least every two hours if you plan to spend a long time outdoors. This will ensure that your skin is protected throughout the day.
Skin Care After Holi
1. Remove Colour with Cold Water
It is important to immediately rinse the colours off with cold water after the Holi celebrations. Hot water can set the colours into your skin, making them more difficult to remove. This simple post-Holi skin care tip will help you remove colours without damaging your skin.
2. Use a gentle face cleanser to remove colour
After Holi’s colourful celebrations, use a gentle cleanser to remove the colour stains effectively. Choose a gentle face wash that will not irritate your skin. Massage the cleanser into damp skin using circular motions. Focus on any areas that have colour stains. Avoid hot water, as it can increase skin sensitivity. Rinse with lukewarm, not hot water. After rinsing, pat your skin with a soft cloth and apply a moisturizer. This will replenish Moisture and soothe any irritation.
3. Lock in the Moisture
After the celebration, it’s important to seal in Moisture and restore your skin’s level of hydration. Apply a repairing skin serum to replenish Moisture, improve the skin barrier and promote radiant, healthy skin. Then, apply a moisturizer rich in oils to seal the hydration into your skin and nourish its barrier. This duo restores your skin’s balance and leaves it feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated.
4. Protect Your Skin With SPF
After the Holi celebrations, protect your skin by applying a generous amount of Sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen that offers a high SPF and has a broad spectrum to protect your skin against harmful UV rays. This preventative measure reduces the risk of sun damage and helps to avoid sunburn. After Holi, you can protect your skin and keep it healthy and radiant by using SPF.
