On Holi, you can see color everywhere and people apply this to each other which is fun. But also these colors damage the skin. As the color usually contains chemicals and harmful materials. The after-effects of colors on the skin are pretty toxic. The color stays on the skin and doesn’t leave on the skin. It damages the skin and sometimes also causes allergies.
Side effects of Holi colors on the skin
Holi is, without hesitation, one of India’s most popular celebrations. It also comes with risks, including the widespread use of cheap, fake, and vivid colors created with harsh chemicals and toxic materials such as lead dioxide, mercury sulfide, and copper sulfate.
These harmful colors can injure the eyes, face, and lungs. However, we all appreciate this circus of colors. You can use organic and homemade colors to enjoy the celebration. Organic pigments are available in the market, or you can find them online easily. These colors might be expensive, but they can protect your skin from many side effects.
And also if I say without any stress about your skin you can enjoy n play with colors by following some simple steps to protect your skin.
Apply oil before Holi
You can apply coconut oil or almond oil to the skin. It will protect your skin from sun damage and the colors. As the oil would help your skin to stay nourished n will not let it enter your pores and can be wiped off along with oil. So before playing with colors, make sure you protect your skin by applying oil.
Applying sunscreen
You can say that sunscreen is essential for your skin. It will protect your skin from harmful sun rays. So don’t forget to apply sunscreen before playing. Apply a good amount of sunscreen for at least thirty minutes before stepping out of the house. It will protect your skin from tan and also other skin issues.
Before applying sunscreen, make sure that your sunscreen contains SPF 40 or 50. The SPF sunscreen keeps the skin moisturized and protects it from the colors.
Protection for hair
As you take care of your skin, you also need to protect your hair on Holi. The hair also gets damaged from the colors of the Holi. Apply a little oil on all of your hair to keep the shade away from the hairs.
Apply coconut or almond oil on the hair for the best result. The oil acts as the shield for the hair that protects your hair from the ill effects of color. And also, you can get rid of color easier when you have applied oil on them. Hair masks are also a good solution that can be used post occasion to nourish your hair.
