Festival of colors, joy , fun and i think running away from all inhibtions and just going out and playing like a child is the right spirit of HOLI , go out and enjoy it to fullest...but just ensure to take bit of care as of course it is one of the most fun festival but since we are not assured all going to use natural organic color(which r chemical free )... so its required.
Care to be taken before you go out to play holi :
\SKIN CARE
·
Apply moisturiser
preferably with SPF as the colors throb the moisture from the skin otherwise it
will leave your skin dry , and since you going in be in sunlight for
most amount of time and in these sunny days , so you don`t want sunburn…
·
Apply thick coat of dark nail polish just as you don`t want the
colors to seep in and get those odd
colors on fingers.
·
Other important thing is apply any lipbalm that
also preferably with spf on your lips as well..
·
If you someone who wears contact lens , then
avoid that day , better to wear specatcles as if bit of color also touches it ,
it can cause infection and redness in eyes.
Hair care
·
This you can`t skip
- Apply day before coconut
or olive oil and let it stay overnight so that when you play holi the colors
don`t go deep inside as that will make them all dry and frizzy .
And other general tip will be to drink water and again that
help to avoid the dryness ( I think this article I have overused words moisture
and dryness…. I know!!! But can`t emphasise enough as if these care not taken
it will really end up dehydrating your skin…)
Please take care of the above things and you all set to play
holi….happppy holi!!! ( I love holi )
But wait it does not end here , the skin /hair care has to
continue which is more important as you all have experienced the after effects ,
of getting rid of those colors
which can be quite a task …and primemost
don`t be harsh on ur skin or hair while removing colors else hair is going to
break and just tc of few things
·
Don`t use directly soap to remove color, use
cleanisng milk or normal cold milk or baby oil if you have to remove color from
the face.
·
Apply olive oil on legs and hands and keep it
for some time then you can wash colors with gram flour (besan as we call it) or
if u just have to use , use very mild soap ..like baby soap. Use cold or
lukewarm water not very hot water
·
Same applies for hair , first apply oil then
wash it with very mild shampoo .
·
And try and use some natural facepacks so that
your skin is soft .
·
You can use these face masks
· Pack for dry skin:
1 tsp almond powder
2 drops lemon juice
little milk
Make a paste of all the ingredients and apply it your face. Let it stay for 20 minutes. Wet your hand with little water and try to rub offthe pack from the
face. This will make your skin soft and clean.
· Pack for oily skin:
1 tsp Masoor Dal
dried Orange peel
1 tsp rose water
2 - 3 drops lemon juice
Make a paste of all ingredients and apply it to the face. When the pack gets
dried, apply some water on your hands and then try to rub off the pack.
And atleast for a
week try and avoid any beauty treatments m even threading no… and same applies
for hair don`t blow dry or go for any treatments atleast for a week .
Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
