Keep your skin safe this Holi. Holi, the colourful festival is going to be celebrated and everyone is already excited to have fun with lots of organic colour. People through out the country get involved in spreading the happiness and joy by applying colours to their loved ones. However, people are often concerned about their skin and hair as the chemicals used in the colours can damage them. So, it is important you should get ready in advance before the festival.
1. Wear full clothes: You have to wear full sleeve shirt with long trousers. Covering the whole body will reduce the chances of getting exposed to harmful colours and skin damage.
2. Oil your hair: Apply oil to your hair before going to have fun as it helps to remove colour with ease. You can use any oil like coconut, sesame or olive. You can also cover your hair with a cap or a scarf.
3. Protect your ears: Sometimes, the colour gets inside the ear which is hard to clean. You have to apply petroleum jelly on the outer portion of the ear as it will make the ears greasy and prevent the colour from entering the ears.
4. Make use of sunglasses: In a playful mood with colours, do not let the colours enter into your eyes. Wear sunglasses as the colour might cause severe eye infections.
