If the colours used for playing holi are loaded with chemicals, they can be quite harsh and difficult to come off from the skin
So here are few tips:
How to remove colour from face: Wash your face with regular cleanser first, then splash cold water. A foaming face wash is better for removing colour, after that dip a cotton ball in coconut oil and give gentle massage with it on face and then again wash your face with face wash, don’t scrub your skin as it will damage your skin further
Moisturiser: Apply a moisturiser as skin becomes dry post holi
Avoid using excessive make up: As skin already got exposure to colour, it is best to avoid too much make up. As chemicals in cosmetics can give skin irritation. a light compact and BB cream can be used. You can go back to your make up routine in a day or two
Sunscreen: To prevent skin from damage, ensure that you are applying sunscreen every day even if you are indoors
Avoid parlor activity: If you plan to do waxing, threading, it’s best to do after 5 days of holi As, your skin is already damage by colour and sun exposure you don’t want to irritate your skin further
Sometimes if you have sensitive skin or colour used are very harsh and full of chemicals, your skin can react and you will have redness, irritation or breakouts In such cases, visit your dermatologist immediately.
Use lukewarm water to bath, very hot water will dehydrate your skin and can lead to rashes or irritations
Increase your water intake, stay hydrated, and enjoy your holi
