Holi 2022: Skin and hair care tips you must follow before chemicals ruins it all

1. Use natural colours

Markets are flooded with synthetic colours but you must not buy them as it is more difficult to rub them off from your skin. These synthetic colours are the ones that stay under your nails and behind your ears for weeks. Dermatologists advise that you must always buy the natural, vegetable derived colours as it is much easier to wash them off.

2. Mositurise your skin abundantly

The more youu moisturise your skin until Holi, the less likely it is for colours to seep into your skin and hair. Your skin acts as a natural barrier and if it is dry, it means that your pores are more open. If your skin is extremely moist, then the Holi colours are much less likely to bind to the pores. You can moisturise your skin using cleansing oil or a simple cleansing balm or cleansing milk. Use heavier moisturising creams and lots of sunscreen on your skin to prevent damage caused by chemicals in Holi colours.
