Holi is a festival where people are drenched in colours of joy and love. And yes, that’s exactly how it must be celebrated to the fullest. But, amid the exciting Holi preparation, you may tend to forget about your skin. Our skin is exposed to various colours on this day and it can cause some skin problems. Be wise and prep your skin before the colours of Holi can cause any issues! After all, you do not want to regret the celebration of colours. 

Let us share a few Holi skin care tips that you must follow before and after Holi. 

Pre Holi Skincare Routine 

You definitely do not want to skip the pre Holi skin care routine before starting the day. It is not just colours, if you plan to celebrate Holi outdoors, you also have to protect your skin against the sun. So, it would be ideal to just prep your skin for what’s coming. Follow the simple steps mentioned below before you head out for the celebration. 

The first step is to cleanse your skin and get rid of the excess oil and dirt. Use a cleanser that gives you clear skin.

You must keep your skin hydrated, therefore use a moisturiser that has a long-lasting effect on your skin.

Celebrating outdoors surely seems exciting but it calls for extra care. To protect your skin from the harmful sun rays, smear sunscreen that has a minimum of 30 SPF on parts of your body, which will stay exposed to the sun.  

After the sunscreen, apply virgin olive oil to your face and other parts of your body.

Apply a nourishing lip balm to protect and moisturise the sensitive skin of your lips. 

Post Holi Skincare 

We know you after a long day of being exposed to sun, colours, and water, you want to indulge yourself in a long, hot bath! But, remember that vigorous rubbing will only damage your skin. Follow these steps mentioned below as your after-Holi skin care regime. 

First, remove the excess colour only with water. Then, use a foaming face wash and gently massage your face. Rinse after 30 seconds.

Now, to remove the remaining dirt and colour from your skin, apply coconut oil to your face and other parts of your body where you can still see some colour. Let it set on your skin for at least 5 minutes and then wash it off.

Before heading out the next day, ensure to use a moisturising face mask.  

For the next few days avoid using any scrub and try to go subtle with makeup.
