Holi 2026: Doctor-Approved Tips for Sun-Safe Skin & Hair

  • Double-layer sun protection with SPF 30+ sunscreen and SPF powder/spray, plus UV-protective sunglasses and light-colored, full-sleeved cotton clothes.
  • Implement a two-step skin sealing technique: lightweight moisturizer followed by coconut or almond oil to strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water and consuming high-water-content fruits like watermelon and oranges two days before Holi.
  • Protect hair by oiling with coconut oil mixed with vitamin E on damp hair, then styling in a braid or bun to prevent color absorption and tangling.
  • Safeguard lips with SPF balm, nails with petroleum jelly/clear polish, and eyes by opting for glasses instead of contact lenses.
