Holi Skincare Guide: Protect Your Skin Before and After Playing with Colors

  • Prepare your skin barrier with ceramide-rich moisturizer 20-30 minutes before playing Holi, covering neck, ears, and hairline.
  • Apply a light facial oil over moisturizer for extra protection, as oils create a physical barrier against colors.
  • Use broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen and reapply, as Holi colors combined with UV exposure increase tanning and pigmentation risk.
  • Keep makeup minimal; heavy foundation can trap colors, making removal harder and increasing breakouts.
  • After Holi, use oil cleansing to dissolve pigments, followed by a mild, pH-balanced cleanser; avoid harsh scrubbing.
