With a splash of colours and enthusiasm, we are all set to indulge in a festive celebration. We might love the vibe that comes along with the festival of colours but the after-effects can be quite a task to deal with.

There are times that we can have a breakout or so right after Holi, that is just one way the skin reacts. Well, you don't have to miss out on the celebrations but the right care can help you deal with them. Here are some ways that can help you keep acne at bay!

Effective Ways To Deal With Acne Post Holi
1. Switch To A Gentle Cleanser
While your regular cleanser might be good enough but when dealing with acne, it is essential to opt for gentler formulations that come with ingredients that help in soothing acne. Salicylic acid, niacinamide and more are often great picks to fight against pimples.
2. Cold Water
This is the simplest way to soothe your skin in general as well. Holi colours can irritate the skin, leading to acne too. Use cold water as it will soothe the skin from the effects of harsh colours. Once you are done with washing the skin, don't rub it too harshly, instead tap it and then apply a soothing moisturiser. This will help in dealing with irritation and inflammation as well.

Apart from hydrating the skin, keep your body hydrated too. Drink plenty of water according to the body's needs. Dehydration can be a bummer and it is essential to be hydrated, it helps in clearing the skin.
5. Double Cleansing
This is the key to better and clearer skin. Post-Holi acne can be quite a hassle and double cleansing is just another way to keep acne at bay or soothe them in an effective way. You can use micellar water or a cream-based remover to remove the colour and then wash your face with a suitable cleanser that helps in soothing your acne.
6. Keep Your Routine Simple
Especially when dealing with a zit, it is best to keep your skincare routine sorted and the bare minimum. It is best not to indulge in a 101 routine with too many steps as it might not be the best time to do so. We do not know how the skin might react to it so keep it safe with a minimal routine.
