Skin & Hair Care Essentials That'll Make Your Life Easier This Holi

On the morning of Holi, it is super-important that you slather your body with coconut oil for a smooth post-Holi shower. Also, hey, don't forget to oil your hair so that the colour doesn't steal away the shine from those tresses. 

A lot of women prefer to wear lipsticks to avoid getting lips chapped but we suggest you to protect your lips using petroleum jelly. It will make sure that your lips stay hydrated (this tip is for men as well) throughout. This one also has Vitamin E so it's incredibly hydrating and can be used on your skin, too. 

Hate multicoloured nails the next day? Then, we have a great tip for you. Pick up your favourite nail paint, paint your nails, and of course, remove the coat after you are done playing Holi. Voila! All good to go.

This is our go-to trick for post-Holi cleansing. Take a bit of the cream and rub it onto your skin. Take a wet cotton ball and wipe off the leftover colour from the skin and you'll be sorted. The aloe vera makes it particularly good for sensitive skin.

It is always a good idea to invest in a good moisturiser. If you feel the same way, we are sure you must have invested in a good one and we recommend that you use your investment by applying it on your skin as and when you're done bathing. Oh, and don't forget to use lukewarm water to bathe as extremely hot water could dehydrate your skin, and cold water won't help in the removal of colours.

When you step in to wash your hair, do not rinse your hair like you do on regular days. It is important to first rinse your hair properly with a good amount of water. Then, use a mild shampoo and massage your scalp to finally rinse it off.

If you know that your Holi celebration is going to be a really harsh one, make sure to protect your eyes too. Get an eye drop from the drugstore and make sure to carry it when you go out to play Holi. Also, make sure that you do not rub your eyes if colour gets in or do not wear contact lenses on Holi day.
