Holi Skin Care: Protect Your Skin from Harmful Colors, Expert Tips to Prevent Allergies

• Dr. Amarjeet Singh advises applying coconut oil or moisturizer before playing Holi to create a protective layer against chemical colors.
• Changing weather during Holi makes skin sensitive; use natural and herbal colors to avoid irritation and infections.
• Avoid harsh soaps or excessive rubbing to remove permanent colors; wash with plain water and regular soap, letting the color fade naturally.
• Chemical-laden colors can cause irritation, itching, and allergies, with some cheap gulal containing glass particles.
• Consult a specialist immediately if you experience itching, irritation, or rashes after Holi, instead of self-treating.
