Tips To Prevent Your Skin From Harmful Colors This Holi!

The Festival of Colors is one day where you get to go as dirty as you want. The festival is around the corner but the only worry that most of us have is ‘how do I get rid of the stains post Holi?‘ Well, there is a solution to everything and I am going to give some tips that will help you keep your skin from getting stained by the colors.

While you can buy safe colors, there is no guarantee your friends would also opt for safe colors too. So you have to be prepared before you head out to get attacked by your friends. Here are some of the tips that will help you avoid unnecessary rashes and allergies.

Oil is a must!

Oil up your body with mustard oil. Yes! Mustard oil is greasy and it pretty well helps your skin from getting damaged by the colors. So apply mustard oil all over your body especially your hair. If you cannot stand its smell then coconut oil is the second best option. Oil prevents your skin from absorbing harmful colors and it also moisturizes it.

You Got to Dress Right!

A very common mistake that most of us have been doing all these years is wearing sleeveless clothes or shorts in the case of men. If you wish to avoid stains then wearing a long sleeved clothing is the right thing to do. Also, stick to cotton as it is safer and dries up quicker than other fabrics.

You Cannot Miss Out on Sunscreen and Vaseline Either!

This is a must because one is out exposed to the sun than a regular day. So a thick layer of high SPF sunscreen will prevent your skin from getting tanned. If you apply vaseline between your fingers and on the sides of your nails, your fingers and nails will have no stains at all. But you must try and avoid sitting in sun for hours after Holi and take a shower immediately. The color gets baked in the hot sun and you will not be able to get rid of the stains in the first wash.

Bathe With Cold water!
