Holi 2025: Protection and spoil your skin with these essential tips

Take the time this year to protect and spoil your skin with experienced skin care tips to ensure that your skin stays healthy and shines long after the end of the celebrations.

Before the celebrations

According to Shriram Sonawane, founder and CEO of Enroot, the preparation of your skin before the celebrations is the key to minimizing the damage caused by Holis hard elements. “In order to create a protective barrier, it is important to give moisture and moisturize,” he says.

“Apply a thick layer of coconut oil, almond oil or a rich moisturizer to prevent the colors from penetrating deep into your skin.”

Sunscreen is another non -negotiable part of skin care in front of the Holi. “Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays because most of the Holy Cereaues take place outdoors,” advises Sonawane.

Piyush Jain, founder and CEO from Skin Inspired, also emphasizes the importance of good skin care routine before the celebrations.

“One of the greatest concerns during the Holi is the damage caused by hard colors. Dry, unprotected skin absorbs the colors more easily, which leads to irritation and outbreaks,” he explains.

In addition, Jain suggests using a sunscreen that offers long -lasting protection against the sun.

While Holi

As soon as the colors are no longer, playing Smart is essential. Both experts advise the selection of organic or natural colors to reduce the risk of skin irritation. “Stick to secure, vegetable colors to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals,” says Sonawane.

The fluid intake also plays a crucial role all day. “Drink the drinking water regularly to stay hydrated and prevent dryness by sunlight and colors,” continues Sonawane.

For hair protection, both skin care experts recommend applying oil to their scalp and hair. “Oil acts as a barrier and prevents colors from holding on the hair and scalp,” says Jain. “Tie your hair into a bun or braid and consider covering it with a scarf or cap to protect it even more.”

Post-Holi skin care

After the fun of Holi, it is time to treat your skin with particularly carefully. Sonawane suggests starting with an oil cleaning method. “Use coconut or baby oil to loosen the colors before washing your face,” he says. Then opt for a mild cleaning agent and a lukewarm water to carefully remove residues without irritating the skin.

Jain divides a similar post-Holi routine and focuses on gentle cleaning and food. “Avoid using hard cleaners that remove your skin from essential oils,” he warns. “Instead, they opt for a crème cleaner with lactic acid for gentle peeling, vitamin C, to improve their natural glow and salicylic acid to control sebum and prevent outbursts.”

In order to block the fluid intake and protect your skin's barrier, Jain recommends using a moisture cream with barrier after cleaning. “This will alleviate your skin and prevent dryness and irritation in the days after the festival,” he explains.
