Here are some tips and tricks to retain your glowing skin after Holi

A chilled glass of flavored milk, relentless dancing to Bollywood songs on loop, splashing colour in the air and lots of tasty snacks - all this makes up the spring festival of Holi. But the best way to celebrate it is the traditional gulal.

Having said that, we often forget to take care of our skin during this time amidst all the gaiety. The colours do take a toll on skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated after the long hours of festivities coupled with exposure to the sun.

Here are some tips and tricks to retain your glowing skin after Holi, according Sobiya Moghul, content lead at Amazon Beauty:

Body Scrub:
Exfoliating remains one of the most important self-care steps after festivities. Clean your skin completely and exfoliate your body using a gentle scrub to remove all the colours. Wash your skin gently with lukewarm water.


Body Oil:
Massaging your body with oil post Holi will help nourish the skin through antioxidants. It will provide proper moisture while you get rid of those colours.


Face Pack:
Excessive colour can cause breakouts and even dull your skin. A herbal face pack will help soothe the skin while healing it. Regularly using a face pack will help your skin slowly regain its glow.


Moisturizer:
After taking a warm shower, moisturize your skin. The skin tends to get dry after excess exposure to the sun and colors, followed by rigorous exfoliation. The right moisturizer will keep your skin smooth and hydrated.


Lip Balms:
Like your skin, your lips also need some post Holi care. Lips can get chapped and gently rubbing a lip balm into your lips not only helps you get rid of the colours, it acts as a protective barrier.
