Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A chilled glass of flavored milk, relentless dancing to Bollywood songs on a loop and different hues in the air. There is so much to love about Holi.
And what better way to celebrate than the traditional way with gulal and splashes of color? Even so, we often forget to take care of our skin in the midst of all the happiness during this time.
On Thursday, Create Stories (NGO) organized a webinar in which beauty expert Seema Soni gave the following tips. Extracts
Before playing Holi
Before playing Holi, it is a good idea to protect your skin. It is important that you protect it with sunscreen, oil, and other beauty products.
Close pores
Rubbing ice cubes on your face before playing holi works wonders in closing the pores of your skin. Rub ice cubes on a clean face for about 10-15 minutes to make sure harmful colors don’t seep into your skin and cause breakouts.
Oil it up
Oiling your skin with organic essential oils is a great way to restore your skin’s natural texture. Essential oils also have miraculous effects in the treatment of acne and other severe skin allergies.
Dress up for Holi
Since Holi is mainly an outdoor activity, make sure that the clothes you wear maximally cover your body parts. Go for kurtas, t-shirts or tops with full sleeves, pants, salwars, full-length joggers, etc. Wear dark colors to make sure the colors don’t get on your skin easily when mixed with water.
