Holi is an exciting festival with all the colours, but we can’t overlook the harmful chemicals used in these colours that damage our skin. Hence, we must start prepping our skin to avoid reaction and irritation. Below are some tips on preparing your skin and hair for Holi using natural and Ayurvedic methods.

Herbal colours are not harsh on the skin as they are made with natural ingredients. These types of colours are easy to remove, too. For example, you can use beetroots to make the magenta; boiling turmeric and marigold in water will give you a wet yellow. You can use spinach leaves to make green, whereas pomegranate peels can make red.

Natural, homemade colours won’t harm your skin, but people mainly use colours bought from the market. The harmful chemicals present in them cause damage to skin and hair. The first solution is to apply coconut oil on the whole body and hair before playing Holi. It will also help in getting rid of the colours after playing Holi. Do not forget to moisturize and hydrate your face, as dry skin is more prone to damage caused by chemicals in the colours. Using ayurvedic face oils can help with skin damage and reduce signs of ageing, giving you youthful and bright skin.

We all love smearing colours on our loved ones on Holi's occasion, but removing them becomes a task. Using ubtan can help you wash off those harsh colours and help your skin glow.

Apply a thick paste of Ayurvedic ubtan and leave it for a few minutes. Clean your face with wet towels or wash it off with cold water. According to the Hindu religion, if people use ubtan mixed with turmeric in the body and then throw the ubtan removed from the body into the Holika fire, all the house's evils will flow into the fire, and the body becomes free of disease.
