Holi is a festival of happiness and colors, but the chemicals present in these colors can harm our skin. Therefore, it is very important to take care of the skin before and after playing Holi. In this article, we will give you the best skincare tips, which will keep your skin safe and healthy.
Skin care before Holi
If you take proper care of your skin before playing Holi, then you can avoid damage. Let’s know what to do:
1. Moisturize the skin
- Before playing Holi, apply glycerin, coconut oil, olive oil or aloe vera gel on the entire body and face. This will prevent the color from penetrating deep into the skin and will come off easily.
2. Use sunscreen
- If you are playing Holi in the sun, then definitely apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more. This will protect your skin from tanning and harmful rays.
3. Protection of nails and lips
- To protect the nails, apply any dark nail paint on them.
- Apply lip balm or Vaseline to protect the lips from getting dry.
4. Wear the right clothes
- Wear full sleeve clothes so that your skin is exposed as little as possible.
- Wearing cotton clothes will give comfort to the body.
- How to protect the skin while playing Holi?
1. Drink more water
- Drinking less water during the festival can make the skin dry. Therefore, drink 7-8 glasses of water throughout the day.
2. Avoid chemical colors
- If possible, use only organic or homemade natural colors. Colors made from turmeric, beetroot, and spinach are safe for the skin.
3. Avoid applying colors forcefully
- If your skin is sensitive, then ask your friends not to forcefully apply chemical colors.
Skin care after Holi
1. Clean the skin gently
- After playing Holi, instead of rubbing the skin, gently clean it with a mild cleanser or a paste of gram flour and milk.
2. Oil massage on hair and skin
- If your skin and hair have become dry, massage with coconut or almond oil so that the skin gets moisture.
3. Use aloe vera and curd
- Applying aloe vera gel will cool the skin and reduce irritation.
- Applying a mixture of curd and honey will restore moisture to the skin.
4. Apply turmeric and rose water pack
- Apply a face pack by mixing turmeric + rose water + gram flour.
- This will help in improving the skin and will also help in removing the colors quickly.
- Additional tips for healthy skin
1. Do not scrub the skin too much
- After Holi, many people rub the skin too much to remove the color, which can cause red spots and irritation on the skin. 1. Use a mild scrub or homemade ubtan.
2. Use natural cleanser instead of soap
- Ordinary soap can dry out the skin, so use natural ingredients like gram flour, milk, honey and curd.
3. Do not forget to moisturize the skin
- After removing the color, moisturize the skin well. Apply cream containing aloe vera, coconut oil, or glycerin so that the skin remains moisturized.
4. Include antioxidants in the diet
- Eat more green vegetables, fruits (such as papaya, watermelon, orange).
- Drink green tea to detoxify the body from within.
- Avoid eating too much spicy food and junk food after Holi.
