Holi 2023 will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 8. It is one of the most colourful festivals in India. On Holi, people drench each other in colour, guns, and water-filled balloons. These colours use synthetic pigments that damage our skin and health and are also hazardous to our health. As you celebrate Holi 2023, we at LatestLY have bought together tips to protect your hair and skin from the hazardous effects of the colours. Essential Pre And Post-Holi Hair And Skin Care Hacks You Must Know Before You Dive Into The Vibrant Colours.

Oiling

A day before Holi, apply a lot of coconuts or almond oil all over your body. It will hydrate your skin and all fewer colours to absorb in your skin.

Sunscreen

As Holi is played outdoors, the skin will always be exposed to the sun for a long time. Keep your skin protected by applying a broad SPF sunscreen.

Conditioner

Apply a leave-in conditioner or serum to your hair, as this will prevent your hair from getting damaged by the sun.

Tie Your Hair

Open hair is an invitation to all the chemicals around. Therefore, make sure you tie your hair properly before stepping out for the Holi celebrations.

Washing The Colours

Use mild soaps that are not alkaline in nature to wash your face post-Holi. Use lukewarm water to remove the colours instead of warm water. Brush your hair to remove excess colours, and use a hair mask to remove the colour from your scalp. Holi 2023 Colour Removal Tips: How To Remove Holi Colours off Your Skin and Hair Naturally Without Damaging Them.

Oil Again

Colours and chemicals make your hair and skin extremely dry. Therefore once you are done washing and cleansing your hair and skin, don’t forget to oil your hair and moisturise your skin.

Holi is a colourful festival, and you must enjoy it fully. But ensuring you don’t damage your skin and health during the celebrations is very important.

Wishing everyone Happy Holi 2023!
