Granny approved Home Remedies...:) ( holi spcl )

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
