Pre-Holi Skincare Tips: As Holi approaches, excitement fills the air but it's essential to remember the aftermath of the vibrant celebrations. The colourful festivities can leave behind unwanted stains, dry skin and damaged hair. To protect yourself from these consequences, consider using oil as a protective barrier. Applying oil to your skin and hair before playing Holi can shield you from irritation, dryness and hours of scrubbing later.
By investing just a few minutes in pre-Holi oiling, you can enjoy the celebrations without worrying about the aftermath. To help you prepare, Dr. Somodyuti Chandra, a Dermatologist recommended four specific oils that you can apply on your skin before stepping out to play Holi to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an excellent pre-Holi skin protectant. Its rich hydrating properties create a barrier that shields your skin from harsh colours and dryness. Apply a generous layer of coconut oil to your skin before playing Holi to lock in moisture and enjoy a safer and more comfortable celebration.
Almond Oil
Almond oil, rich in Vitamin E is a nourishing skin treatment. It prevents dryness and irritation while its antioxidants nourish and shield your skin from damage. Apply almond oil generously before the celebration to keep your skin soft, supple and protected from the vibrant hues.
Olive Oil
Olive oil deeply hydrates and shields your skin from harsh chemicals. Its rich antioxidants and fatty acids create a barrier that prevents dryness, irritation and damage. Apply olive oil liberally before playing Holi to keep your skin protected.
Argan Oil
Argan oil is an ideal pre-Holi skin protector for sensitive skin. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture deeply moisturises and shields your skin from harsh colours and dryness.
