Pre-Holi Skin Care Routine: Start your Holi arrangements with your pre-Holi skincare routine. Richly hydrate your skin with a thick, primarily oil-based moisturizer. This creates a protective barrier for your pores and skin, making it difficult for colours to penetrate and cause infection. Pay special attention to areas like your face, neck and arms that are more prone to colour stains. (Image source: getty images)

Use coconut or mustard oil before stepping out to play Holi: Apply enough coconut or mustard oil on your body. These oils act as a protective layer that prevents colours from sticking to your pores and skin and makes them easier to wash off later. Additionally, the nourishing properties of these oils help keep your skin hydrated and moisturized, reducing the risk of dryness and infection. (Image source: getty images)

Stay hydrated: During the Holi celebrations, you are sure to get caught up in the pleasure and forget to stay hydrated. However, drinking plenty of water is essential to maintaining healthy skin, especially when exposed to sunlight and harsh chemicals. Make it a point to drink water regularly throughout the day to keep your pores and skin hydrated from within and flush toxins from your body. (Image source: getty images)

Post Holi Skin Care Routine: Start by rinsing the colors with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously as it could similarly irritate your pores and skin. Once you’ve removed all the colored traces, follow with a relaxing moisturizer or aloe vera gel to soothe any infection and hydrate the skin. (Image source: getty images)

DIY Face Packs: Give your skin a little pampering with DIY face packs made with natural ingredients that help soothe irritation and restore your pores and skin’s radiance. For example, a mixture of yogurt and honey can help hydrate and nourish your pores and skin, while a paste of sandalwood and rose water can soothe infection and reduce redness. Apply these packs after Holi to refresh and rejuvenate your skin.(Image source: getty images)
