Turning your all white outfits turned into a color palette by the end of the day will definitely be exciting and joyful. But your skin? Well, your skin will have to bear the brunt of harsh chemicals, excessive sun exposure, and dryness. Ouch.
Fortunately, there’s a way out. You can enjoy Holi without worrying about your skin damage if you adhere to a proper pre- and post-Holi skincare routine. Here’s how you can prep and pamper your skin before and after the celebrations.
Pre-Holi Routine
Before stepping out to play, it is extremely important to strengthen your skin’s barrier and create a protective layer to minimize damage. Although most of us play with organic, skin-friendly colors, there’s still a good chance for skin irritation. Your skincare routine will create a barrier between the skin and the color to prevent it from getting into your pores and damaging the skin.
Start With Clean Skin
A clean face ensures better absorption of protective skincare products. The Micro Defend Cleanser will gently remove impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture. Thus, making it the perfect first step in your pre-Holi routine.
Buff Away Dead Skin
Dry, flaky patches are more likely to allow colors to settle into your skin. Exfoliating with Bio Replenish Scrub will remove all the dead skin cells and smooth out your skin.
Hydrate for Protection
Playing in the sun all day will dehydrate your skin for sure. The Intense Hydra Serum will lock in moisture, keeping your skin plump and nourished. Furthermore, it will reduce the risk of irritation from colors by creating a physical barrier between the colors and your skin.
Extra Layer of Protection
A serum will give you protection for sure but it may not be sufficient. So finish your routine with the Collagen Boost Moisturizer to strengthen your skin barrier and add an extra layer of protection. It keeps your skin firm, preventing dryness and damage from colors and sun exposure.
Bonus Tip? Apply a generous layer of natural oil (like coconut or almond oil) on your face, arms, and legs to create a physical barrier against colors.
Post-Holi Routine
All the fun is over, and it’s time to take off all the colors. The challenge? Without drying out your skin. Let’s see how you can gently cleanse and restore your skin to its natural glow.
Wash Off the Colors
Use our Alps Ensemble Soap to give your skin the first wash. The natural ingredients in the soap will gently cleanse without over-drying and stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Double Cleanse for Deep Purity
For any remaining stubborn color residues, follow up with Micro Defend Cleanser. It helps remove impurities while maintaining your skin’s pH balance.
Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliating twice? You’ll need it to remove the colors, sweat, and dirt from your pores. Reach out for your Bio Replenish Scrub again and massage it for a good minute or two before washing it off. We promise it will leave your skin fresh and smooth.
Instant Hydration & Repair
Your skin will definitely love an instant hydration boost. It will immediately calm your skin and bring back its natural glow. We suggest going ahead with our Forest Soothe Sheet Mask packed with goodness of Aloe Vera and Green Tea Extract.
Lock in the Moisture
Instant hydration is in. Now, let's get some deep hydration as well. Finish with the Hydra Soothe Moisturizer to replenish lost moisture, repair skin barriers, and keep your skin soft and supple.
Pro tip? Apply aloe vera gel or rose water for added cooling and soothing effects.
