5 Most Important Post Holi Skin Care Tips

Vibrant and fun, the festival of Holi truly captures the essence of Indian culture. That being said, how much fun is too much fun? While Holi is one festival that allows you to let your hair loose, the harmful chemicals present in the colours used could dry out your skin and make it look dull and drab.

If the above-mentioned statement causes you to pause, let us be the first to assure you that with the three post-Holi skincare tips mentioned below, you are sure to wash away all the skincare issues that you may be facing.

# Stay away from soaps and face washes

Most soaps and face washes in the market these days are laced with chemicals and can rip off the alkaline nature of your skin. You can instead opt for organic skin cleansing products. Also, stay away from scrubbing your skin just after Holi as scrubbing can be harsh for your skin.

# Go natural

Natural face masks and packs are the best! They not only sooth your skin but also help restore the natural balance of it. Try using uptans made of curd and besan (gram flour) or rose water, turmeric and sandalwood. These natural ingredients have healing powers on your skin.

# Use oil to remove colors

Olive oil is a very mild oil which is great for your skin. Use a cotton ball to gently wipe off the color on your skin after Holi.

# Use a mild moisturizer

Before going to sleep at night, apply a mild moisturizer on your face. The harsh colors tend to take away the moisture from your skin and leave it feeling dry and patchy. The moisturizer will ensure that your skin is well hydrated while you sleep. Wake up with a glowing skin the next day!

# Drink ample amount of water

The importance of drinking water can’t be stressed enough. Drinking 7-8 glasses of water every day can ward of skin problems and many other internal diseases. As a post Holi skin care routine, don’t forget to drink lots of water to keep you hydrated and your skin acne free.
