Pre-Holi Skincare Tips To Protect Your Skin

Holi, the festival of colors, is just around the corner! While it’s a time for joy and celebration, the vibrant colors used during Holi can be harsh on your skin. To ensure your skin remains healthy and glowing, follow these pre-Holi skincare tips:

Exfoliate Your Skin

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your skin to breathe and reducing the risk of color absorption. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) 2-3 days before Holi.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Moisturizing helps create a barrier between your skin and the colours, making it easier to remove the colors later. Apply a rich moisturizer to your skin, paying special attention to areas that will be exposed, such as your face, neck, and hands.

Apply a Pre-Color Treatment

Consider applying a pre-color treatment to your skin, such as a facial oil or serum containing antioxidants and essential fatty acids. This will help protect your skin from damage caused by the colors.

Use Sunscreen with High SPF

Holi celebrations often take place outdoors, exposing your skin to the harsh sun. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) to protect your skin from UV damage.

Oil Your Hair

Holi colors can be particularly harsh on your hair, causing dryness and damage. Apply a generous amount of oil to your hair, focusing on the ends, to create a barrier between your hair and the colors.

Protect Your Nails

Holi colors can stain your nails, making them look dull and discolored. Apply a clear nail polish or a nail oil to protect your nails from staining. (ANI)
