For all those of us who love to play with colours on Holi, here are some pre-Holi skin care tips that will protect your skin from all the damage created by the the harmful chemicals used in making the colours.
A night before Holi, massage face oil onto the skin with the help of a Kansa Wand. Always remember to decolletage. This moisturizes the skin, resulting in reduced colour absorption the next day.
Make sure you start with fresh skin! Use a hydrating toner to keep the pores minimized, followed by a Moisturizer and a non-comedogenic SPF on the face, neck, and ears the thicker the sunscreen, the better. Use anything that is 30+ SPF or higher to make sure you are safe. Make sure you apply a good, generous amount of sunscreen.
For that perfect Holi Pout. Use a lip butter that helps prevent dryness, protects them from UV rays, and won’t let the colour settle into cracks easily.
For the body use a body oil or a moisturizer that will keep skin hydrated for long hours as it will form a protective barrier between the skin and the colour.
Taking care of Nails is very important! Dark nail polish is preferable to lighter nail polish since it can protect your nails from harm. Keep your nails short and coat them with a nail lotion containing Vitamin E. You can also apply cuticle oil to prevent infections and stains on your nails.
