1. Moisturize Generously (Barrier Protection Is Key)

Apply a thick layer of moisturizer on your face and body at least 30 minutes before stepping out. For extra protection:

• Use creams containing ceramides or shea butter

• Apply coconut or almond oil on exposed areas

This creates a layer that prevents colors from penetrating deep into the skin.

2. Never Skip Sunscreen

Holi is usually played outdoors under direct sunlight. UV exposure combined with chemical colors can increase:

• Pigmentation

• Tanning

• Sunburn

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and reapply if you are outdoors for long hours.

3. Keep Makeup Minimal

Heavy makeup mixed with colors and sweat can clog pores and cause breakouts.
If needed:

• Apply a light BB cream or tinted sunscreen

• Avoid heavy foundations

Let your skin breathe.

4. Protect Your Hair & Scalp

Colors can dry out the scalp and cause itching or flaking.
Before playing Holi:

• Oil your hair thoroughly

• Tie it up to reduce exposure

This prevents color from sticking to the scalp.

5. Wear Protective Clothing

Full sleeves, sunglasses, and breathable fabrics reduce direct skin exposure.
Less exposed skin = less irritation risk.
