New Delhi . The festival of Holi is considered incomplete without colorful colors and tasty traditional sweets. On this day, people dance to Bollywood songs and apply colors to each other. It is because of the fun with colors on Holi that people eagerly wait for this festival throughout the year. However, the fun of Holi starts fading when the chemical colors available in the market start leaving side effects on people’s skin and hair. If you want to avoid these side effects, then prepare your skin and hair before playing Holi. Let us know how.
Before playing Holi, prepare your face and hair like this-
coconut oil-
To protect the skin from the chemical colors of Holi, first apply coconut oil on the face. Coconut oil helps protect the skin from the side effects of colors by moisturizing the skin. Not only this, the colors of Holi can also be easily removed by applying coconut oil on the face. Actually, by applying oil, an upper layer appears on the skin, due to which the color of Holi does not go deep into the skin and it gets cleaned easily after washing. To try this tip, apply coconut oil thoroughly on face, neck, ears and hair 15 minutes before playing Holi.
Lemon juice-
Applying Holi colors to hair can cause problems like hair fall and dandruff. In such a situation, lemon juice is a very effective solution to keep this problem away. It removes dandruff from hair and prevents dryness. If Holi colors are applied in hair then apply mustard oil mixed with lemon juice. Shampoo one hour after applying the oil. This remedy will help in deep conditioning the hair by removing chemicals from it.
Cover with scarf-
If you do not want your hair to get rough and damaged due to the chemical colors of Holi, then cover your hair properly before playing Holi. If you want, make braids and wrap them with a scarf, tying them well.
Petroleum jelly-
Apart from oil, petroleum jelly can also be applied on the face before playing Holi. Petroleum jelly forms a thick layer on the skin. Due to which colors do not cause much harm to the skin. Applying petroleum jelly on the face before playing Holi removes the Holi color easily. Let us tell you, petroleum jelly can be applied not only on the face but also on the neck, ears, hands and nails.
Aloe Vera-
Applying aloe vera gel on the face before playing Holi can also be a good option. Antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties are found in aloe vera. Applying aloe vera gel on the face creates an extra layer on the skin. Due to which Holi colors do not have much effect on the skin. Applying aloe vera on the face can prevent acne and redness.
