Holi Special – Easy Tips To Make Your Skin Ready For Holi

Holi – the festival of colors is here, knocking at our doorsteps. People make most of the festival by playing with colours, water guns, water filled balloons, etc. But this vibrant festival can also cause damage to your skin. Here are few tips to make your Holi safe and joyful

* Apply almond oil on your body before heading out for Holi celebration. Almond oil has high levels of Vitamin E; this nourishment oil forms an additional protective layer between your skin and the colours. It also refrains the colours to stick on your body.

* Sun exposure can have a detrimental effect on the skin. It makes the skin dry by causing depletion of moisture and also tans the skin. So apply a sunscreen of SPF 30, 20 minutes before going out in the sun.

* If you have dry skin, first apply the sunscreen, wait for a few minutes and then apply a moisturizer.

* You can use a zinc-based barrier cream to hydrate your skin. This cream prevents minor skin irritations and burns caused by harmful colors.

* For lips, you can use Vaseline or lip gloss/lip balm to keep them moisturized throughout.

* You can protect your skin by wearing long sleeves and full length bottoms.

* Paint your nails with the darkest colour. It will prevent the Holi colour to stay on your nails and act as a protective coat.

So, here’s wishing you all a happy and safe holi.
