The festival of colours, Holi, is just a week away and the preparation is in full swing everywhere. Whether it is shopping, cleaning and de-cluttering of home, or preparations associated with self-care, women are supercharged to perform every small and big task. Still, so many people around us avoid celebrating this beautiful festival of colours and social gatherings due to potential threats to skin from non-organic colours and the excessive use of water for removing them. It may seem like a difficult sacrifice not to indulge in the festival of the year. Though the concern is valid that some colours make the skin rough and prone to acne and other allergies, following preventive measures, can help to play Holi with fun and frolic and that too without irritating your skin. So, here are some really easy tips you need to follow before and after playing the Holi, courtesy Beauty Guru Shahnaz Husain.
Bring home organic colours at home and advise your friends to follow this safe trend. Until the mass production of synthetic colours, people used to play Holi with natural colours made from marigold, turmeric, hibiscus, aparajita and other flowers and herbs. Natural colours neither cause any harm to skin and hair nor do they drench you in the guilt of not joining family and friends in the festive celebration.
