Beauty Tips To Follow Before Holi To Keep You Skin In Check
1. Sunscreen Is A Must
Prepping your skin is a must to do before you engage in Holi festivities. Do not forget to apply sunscreen as it will not only protect your skin from colour but also prevents sun damage. Opt for light textured SPFs as they'll feel non-sticky on the skin or go for waterproof and gel-based SPF. Apply approximately 20 minutes before stepping out to activate it.
2. Oil Your Hair
You surely wouldn't want anything to happen to that lustrous mane of yours and for the same it is best to use some generous amount of oil and massage it well on your scalp before heading out. You can simply use almond oil or coconut oil as well. This step is extremely essential so that the colours do not penetrate the shaft of the hair and easily get off while washing.
3. Use Ice Cubes On Your Face
Before applying anything, it is a need to rub some ice all over your face. It will not only give a fresh sensation but also help to tighten the skin and close the pores. Rubbing ice cubes for 10-15 minutes will close the pores and prevent colours from penetrating into the skin. It will also help in preventing any skin issues or sudden breakouts.
