Are you Holi ready?

Playing holi is fun but it can damage your skin and hair. Here are really easy beauty hacks to protect your hair and skin from the harsh effects of the Holi colors. 

#1 Don’t forget your sunscreen: The exposure to the sun during Holi makes your skin dry by consuming the moisture and causing tan. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes prior to playing Holi.
Wear clothes with full sleeves so that your skin is less exposed to the heat and colors.


#2 Use oil to massage your hair, hands and feet: Applying oil in your hair and all over your body, including your navel and the space between your fingers and toes, will help get the color off easily. Additionally, it prevents dryness and any irritation your skin may experience because of harsh chemicals in the colors.
Looking like an oily mess is better than looking like a technicoloured alien later.


#3 Moisturize your lips with a lip balm: Apply a lip balm right before playing Holi to prevent dry and chapped lips.


#4 Decorate and protect your nails with nail polish: The nails go through a lot as the color powder gets accumulated within them. Apply a nail varnish on the nails to protect the nails from absorbing the Holi colors and not make your fingers look gross for weeks later.


#5 Why compromise on your beauty regime?: Apply waterproof makeup on the day of Holi. Use light waterproof mascara as it mixes into the skin and doesn’t become blotchy while playing Holi. Use waterproof eyeliner and give it a nice smudged look.


#6 Show some love to regain the lost moisture post Holi: Give yourself a face pack treatment at home and apply a good moisturizer to regain the lost moisture.

#7 Don't wear contact lenses.

#8 Wear old comfortable clothes that cover as much body as possible.

#9 Tie your hair into a bun and use extra rubber band to keep it intact.

#10 If you have any open wounds, cover them with a band aide.

A Very Happy and Safe Holi to all!
