Let us know about some such safety habits, by which you can prepare your skin and hair to enjoy freely on the day of Holi.
Prepare your skin for Holi like this
1. Oil Massage: Oil acts as a natural buffer against color on the skin and hair. Apply adequate amount of coconut or almond oil on your body at least an hour before playing Holi. The oil creates a protective barrier, making it easier to remove the colors later and protecting your skin from staining. Additionally, apply adequate amount of oil to hair for about half an hour before shampooing. It helps loosen remaining color particles and also nourishes the scalp.
2. Moisturization and Sunscreen:Holi colors can be drying, so apply a good moisturizer on your skin. Whether it’s a thick moisturizer or sunscreen, apply a generous layer, paying special attention to exposed areas like your face, arms and neck. Make sure you stay well moisturized before and after playing Holi to maintain your skin. Don’t forget to stay safe from the sun. Holi is usually celebrated outside, so apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
3. Care of nails and lips:Protect nails and lips by applying a good layer of transparent nail polish and lip balm. This prevents them from getting colored and also keeps them safe from stains. After playing Holi, moisturize by gently cleansing with a mild cleanser for healthy, nails and lips.
4. Oils for hair:Use a gentle, color-safe shampoo to remove color without stripping your hair of its natural oils. Apply a deep conditioning mask to lock in moisture, especially after exposure to harsh Holi colors. This routine helps protect and nourish your hair effectively.
