Tips to take care of your skin and hair before playing Holi.
PRE-HOLI SKIN CARE
v Apply almond oil or coconut oil on your entire body before you step out to play Holi this year. These oils not only form a physical barrier between the harmful colours used and your skin but also act as a moisturiser and an anti-inflammatory, prevent sun damage and contain vitamins A, B and E which help nourish your skin.
v Use a good sunscreen with an SPF factor of at least 40, half an hour before leaving the house.
v The colours used during holi can dry up your skin, resulting in deeper penetration of the same, so try and keep yourself hydrated with the help of water, juices, etc.
v In addition to basic skin care, coating your lips with either vaseline or a good lip balm is just as important.
PRE-HOLI HAIR TIPS
v Applying coconut oil and massaging it well into the scalp can be beneficial as it forms a barrier between the Holi colours and your hair, thus preventing damage.
v If you don’t feel comfortable coating your hair/scalp with oil, using a good hair serum can also be helpful - A couple of pumps of the serum on your palm followed by an even application throughout.
v If you have long hair, try braiding it or tying it into a bun to prevent total exposure.
v Covering your head with a cap or a bandana can also be a form of physical barrier and will help protect your scalp.
Tips to take care of the skin and hair after Holi.
POST-HOLI SKIN CARE
v Rinse your face with water and then use a few drops of a cleansing agent on a cotton pad to thoroughly cleanse your skin of the colours.
v The Holi colours cause dehydration of the skin. Therefore, post a shower, pat dry yourself with a towel and immediately apply a moisturiser. Rubbing your skin with a towel to dry it off can cause skin irritation while pat drying the skin allows you to seal the moisture in, preventing further dryness and cracking of your skin.
v Try to avoid or minimise sun exposure for the next 24-48 hours. If unavoidable, make sure you apply a sunscreen before stepping out as protection against the harmful UV rays.
POST-HOLI HAIR CARE
What I usually did Just after holi, first rinse my hair with lukuwarm water this will help to wash off the maxmium color easily. Then I use a mild shampoo and conditioner while washing the colors off my hair. After that I appliedt a home made mask on my hair. That will repaired my damaged hair very nice and my hair become smooth, shiny and soft. You can also check few of my hair mask here that will really helps.

ReplyDeleteI remember drenching myself in coconut oil from head to toe before going to play Holi. It is quite helpful. Post Holi care is very important too as skin gets very dry and rough.
