Finally, Holi is here! With lots of fun, sweets, and new clothes, there will be complimentary dangers as well. Even the safest colors are not chemical-free. You need to protect the exposed areas of your skin, eyes, etc. Try your best to avoid direct contact with delicate organs like the mouth, ears, and eyes. We recommend you get tested for color allergies as well. The motive is to avoid any mishaps. Holi should be limited to a colorful experience and no bad memories should be attached. Agree? Hang on till we list out all you need to take care of.
While purchasing colors, make sure to check the ingredients. Sulphates are rigid skin irritants. Avoid colors that contain sulphates or their derivatives.
Whether you use a water gun or use powder colors, the chemicals will definitely come in contact with your skin. Try your best to use only organic or herbal colors. If the market doesn’t seem reliable to you, prepare colors on your own using Sandalwood, etc.
Covid-19 is yet not over. Wearing a mask will provide you with the twin-benefits of saving half of your face from the colors and reducing the risk of infection as well.
Your hair should also be given proper attention. Keep them covered as much as possible. Thoroughly oil them and don’t let colors stay on for long. Use a strong shampoo and don’t forget the conditioner as it can prove to be a savior on Holi.
As the summer season has not set in completely, wear full-sleeved upper wear and lowers while you play colors. This way, much of the exposure can be reduced without making any extra efforts.
Your face has the most delicate skin. Don’t let the enjoyment for one day create long-lasting problems. In order to protect your precious skin, apply oil or a protective serum before you step out. Sunscreen is also highly recommended. If you are unable to choose the variant, undoubtedly go for coconut oil. It is the best and has added benefits as well.
If you love wearing sunglasses, don’t ignore them on Holi. They will surely add up to your style quotient and save your eyes from getting harmed too. Choose large frames and ditch your contact lenses for a day to ensure easy removal of colors.
If you have the option to choose colors for you and your family, stay away from the green one. It is not found easily and is always artificially synthesized. Try other options like yellow or red. Even if you are nature-friendly, green is a big no!
Lastly, keep your phone inside a transparent plastic cover.
