Start with some pre-Holi pampering and invest on these face masks, so that your skin locks the moisture before you enter the battlefield that Holi is! 

With an aim to craft products that nurture your skin naturally, Shae offers a range of skincare products that are handcrafted using the best ingredients nature has to offer. Go for their green tea face masks, which come with the goodness of honey and clay, and leaves your face soft and supple. Make a paste of the product and apply liberally on your face for a spa-like experience at home. 

You'll need this mask when your skin looks all dull and devoid of moisture after the colours (a.k.a chemicals) have left their mark on your face. This organic face mask from BodyCafe has the goodness of almond oil and helps to de-tan your skin, while maintaining its elasticity. Apply a thin layer an keep it on for about 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off with cold water. 

Sunscreens are your skin's guardian angels during Holi, while you're loitering in the sun and smearing colors on each other. Keep the following products handy, and apply some on all the exposed areas before kickstarting the mad party! 

Peau Care is a leading paraben-free, SLS-free and cruelty-free skincare brand made locally. And we love how affordable and effective this oil-free sunscreen is. It also has some aloe-vera in it, and is completely sweat-proof. Nourish your skin with this sunscreen and see how it does wonders to you! 

This is a luxury skincare brand that caters to the Indian skin. They have a whole range of face masks, eye creams, mists, skin brightening creams and more. But it is their daily use sunscreen that we are huge fans of. You can get your hands on their basic brightening sunscreen that is made of sunflower, lecithin and liquorice extracts that help your skin stay hydrated, bright, blemish-free and of course, protected from the harmful rays of the sun (since its almost always sunny in Mumbai). 

The most pertinent part of Holi's beauty regime has to be oiling the hair before and after the festival. Besides forming a protective layer of good fat on your skin and scalp, oil is essential for replenishing the hair and helps it recover from the after-effects of the chemicals that the festival of colours leaves behind. Bookmark these two products, which are also our personal favs! 

This beauty brand sells products made from plant-based ingredients and is cruelty-free and free of synthetic fragrances and parabens. Their essential oils are an important part of our night skincare routine. They’re priced at the higher side, but totally worth it. Go for the luscious treatment hair oil, which is blessed with the goodness of almond oil, argon oil, basil, bhringraj, brahmi, moringa and more such nutritious things for your hair. 

It is natural for you to be shedding hair post-Holi. But why fear when onion is here? We're loving this onion hair oil from Kalon that comes with a blend of 14 essential oils. Onion juice has proteins, especially keratin, which is known to provide sulphur to the hair for its seamless growth. This oil prevents hair loss and promotes healthy growth. Add it to cart already, will you? 

You'll need oranges to help you cleanse and brighten your face and to get rid of the Holi colors. So allow this Ayurvedic Vit C brightening face wash to help you out in your struggle.

You've got to shampoo it right to wash off all the colours. You might as well use the best ones. Here are two of our fav brands! 

St. Botanica's shampoos are truly effective in fighting frizz and stopping hair loss. The apple cider vinegar repairs damage by removing dandruff and dryness. And that's exactly what you'll need to fight for, post Holi. For dry and frizz, opt for the biotin & collagen combo or if thinning is your problem, the volumizing combo is for you.
