Holi is here! While indulging in this celebration of colours, the revellers are well advised to safeguard their skin, hair, and nails. Here are some tips to prep and care for yourself after the Holi celebrations:
Gentle post-holi cleansing
Be gentle when cleaning up after Holi. Avoid harsh scrubbing that can damage your skin. Use mild skincare products and light cleansers to remove colors without stripping away natural oils. Oil itself can help to remove colors from the skin.
Rehydrate your skin
Moisturize your skin after Holi to avoid dryness and irritation caused by synthetic colors. Aloe vera gel or a homemade yogurt and honey mask can help soothe and rehydrate your skin.
Avoid hot water
Opt for lukewarm or cold water instead of hot water when bathing. Hot water can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin and hair dry.
Deep conditioning
Revitalize your hair by giving it a deep conditioning treatment. Apply an oil treatment or hair mask generously, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for at least thirty minutes before rinsing it off completely to repair any damage from sun exposure and harsh chemicals.
Avoid makeup and hair styling
Skip heavy makeup and hair styling for a few days after Holi. The skin becomes sensitive after exposure to colors and cleaning, so makeup can worsen the condition. Similarly, hair styling tools can damage weakened hair. Let your skin and hair recover by taking a break from makeup and styling.
Remember to stay hydrated throughout the day to combat dehydration from spending time outdoors.
