What to do before playing Holi?
Before getting ready to play Holi 2022 tips make sure you take all necessary measures and follow the below guidelines.
Apply oil to your skin
It’s usually a good idea to get out and play Holi but before that don’t forget to use organic essential oils to rejuvenate your natural skin tone. Herbal blends help in the treatment of acne and severe skin allergies, which might worsen while playing Holi. Before heading out, mix 1 tsp organic coconut oil, 1 tsp organic castor oil, and 1 tsp organic almond oil in a bowl and apply to your skin. This will serve as a barrier between your skin and the Holi colours, also make your skin hydrated. There is a range of organic oils offered by Avon which contains natural and herbal ingredients and is healthy for your skin.
Mask your head
As we know, sun rays are its pick in the time of Holi. For that, you need to cover your head with a scarf or cap from hair damage. Covering can also protect your hair from evaporating the oil that you applied on the very first step. A big no to open hair, as it can damage your hair as it absorbs all of the toxic colours to the scalp. You can simply put on a headband or make a ponytail to get rid of damaged hair.
Sunscreen is a must
Playing Holi outside might damage your skin, as you will come in contact with not only the colours but also the sun and water. It might dehydrate your natural skin and leave you sunburned. To avoid this, always apply a generous amount of sunscreen lotion before going outside. A good amount of SPF can protect your skin pores from sun damage.
