Holi is all about colors, celebration, and fun — but your skin can take a hit if you’re not careful. To keep your skin glowing and healthy before, during, and after the festivities, follow these essential tips from Ajanta Hospital.

Pre-Holi Prep: Shield Your Skin in Advance

• Moisturize Well- A generous layer of moisturizer or coconut oil on your face and body creates a protective barrier, making it harder for colors to stick and preventing dryness.
• Don’t Skip Sunscreen- Since Holi is often celebrated outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen at least 30 minutes before heading out. This step is key to protecting your skin from harmful UV rays and reducing color penetration.
• Lip Care Matters- Use a nourishing lip balm with SPF to keep your lips soft and shielded.
• Protect Your Nails- Coat your nails with clear nail polish to prevent stains and color residue.
• Dress Smart- Opt for full-sleeved cotton clothing to minimize skin exposure while staying comfortable.

During Holi: Play it Safe

• Be Gentle with Colors- Avoid scrubbing your skin aggressively to remove colors. Instead, rinse gently with lukewarm water and mild cleansers.
• Stay Hydrated- Drinking enough water helps your skin stay supple and less prone to dryness.
• Shield Your Eyes and Face- Sunglasses can protect your eyes from irritation caused by colors or dust. Also, avoid direct application of colors on sensitive areas like the eyes, lips, and ears.

Post-Holi Care: Soothe and Restore

• Gentle Cleansing is Key- Use a mild, soap-free cleanser to wash off colors. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your skin further.
• Try Natural Remedies- A yogurt and turmeric mask can calm redness and inflammation, while a rose water rinse helps refresh and soothe your skin.
• Hydrate and Nourish-  After cleansing, apply a rich moisturizer or aloe vera gel to replenish moisture and restore your skin’s natural balance.
• Tackle Stubborn Stains- For persistent stains, a mix of lemon juice and honey can help lighten marks without damaging your skin.
• Seek Expert Care if Needed- If you notice irritation, rashes, or allergies, don’t hesitate to consult the dermatology experts at Ajanta Hospital for professional care.

Pro Tip:

Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents to remove color — they can strip your skin’s natural oils. Instead, opt for gentle cleansers like gram flour (besan) or milk for a safer alternative.
