Quick tips to care and manage your hairs-skin this Holi!

One can definitely not stay indoors when it is a festive time! And Holi is every Indians much awaited festival. Preparations for this festival begins weeks before, and many of us get busy to celebrate this festival of colors with friends and family. Meanwhile we ignore the most important thing to us, our Skin and Hair. Though we make immense effort to make sure to keep our skin and hair healthy and beautiful but all fails due excessive use of colors and chemicals. Colors used in Holi are prepared using highly damaging toxins, and chemicals that are extremely harmful to hairs and skin which later lead to skin issue and excessive hair fall. Here are some quick tips to care and manage your hairs-skin so that you can play Holi without any worries.Opt for colors that are natural and skin-friendly, instead of using powdered dyes and synthetic colors that do severe damages later on. Before heading out with your friends mix a portion of oil and moisturizer and apply evenly to all parts of your body and do not restrict it to face and bare arms. Massaging your hairs with oil is definitely needed but adding half-a-spoon of lemon juice could actually prevent toxic and dyes to damage your hairs. Best would be to avoid direct contact of skin or hairs to such colors, for this you can easily wrap a bandana around your head. Do not go in for any facial treatment prior to celebrations as the newly absorbed enzymes by your face could come in contact with harmful chemical contents present in Holi colors, and result in damaging your skin. To avoid chipped lips and exposure to chemicals, apply a thick coat of lip balm or olive oil over your lips. This would prevent the color to do any damages to your sensitive skin. Best option would be to choose long sleeved T-shirts and full lengths pants. This would avoid chemicals to come in direct contact with your skin. Once you are done with full day enjoyment of playing Holi with friends and family, avoid sitting under the sun directly. People after playing with water and colors often tend to relax a bit and savor the dishes, and for that they just sit back and relax under the sun. Sitting directly under the sun may lead to permanent damages to your skin. Generally after Holi, you can see the traces of colors under your toe nails and nails on your fingers. So to avoid that polish your nails with bright colors like, Red, Blue or even Black, this would avoid settling of Holi colors.
