Vibrant and fun, the festival of Holi truly captures the essence of Indian culture. That being said, how much fun is too much fun? While Holi is one festival that allows you to let your hair loose, the harmful chemicals present in the colours used could dry out your skin and make it look dull and drab.

If the above-mentioned statement causes you to pause, let us be the first to assure you that with the three post-Holi skincare tips mentioned below, you are sure to wash away all the skincare issues that you may be facing.

1. Colour Your Skin Clean

One of the major issues that women face post-Holi is removing the colour from their skin. No one wants to walk into work the next day looking like they spent the previous day rolling around in paint (even if they did). To remove the colour, wash your face with cold water and apply some cleanser to it to ensure that your pores are clean and colour free. Kaya's Gentle Micellar Foaming Cleanser is a mild cleanser which is specially made for people with sensitive skin. It is a gentle, hydrating foaming cleanser which soothes the skin while cleansing it. If you are someone with combination, dry or normal skin, we suggest going with the Brightening Beads Cleanser. This is a Vitamin B3 and E enriched cleanser that exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling smooth, hydrated and bright. Kaya's Purifying Cleanser is one that we suggest you use for oily skin. This is a great cleanser for those people who are prone to acne. Specially developed to fight acne, this cleanser is enriched Salicylic Acid, an ingredient known for its acne-fighting properties. It gently cleans the pores and removes the excess dirt without leaving the skin dry. To remove the colour from your body, we suggest using Kaya's Collodial Oil and Allantoin Exfoliating Body Wash which is a mild, paraben-free body wash that gently exfoliates your skin, while giving it a hydrated and relaxed feeling.

2. Lotion Your Problems Away

Avoiding the dryness that comes with the Holi colour is almost impossible. Before you get stressed out, remember that we said "almost'' impossible. The Intense Hydration Body Lotion has an intense 24-hour hydration lock formula. It is enriched with Shea and Kokum-butter and gets absorbed into the skin leaving your skin feeling smooth and soft to the touch. This product is great for those who have normal and dry skin. Kaya's Deep Nourish Elbow and Foot Cream is a great product to use to ensure that the areas of your body with thicker skin, that is, your feet and your hands, receive the proper hydration. Created with the moisturizing blend of shea butter and coconut oil, this product is great for softening rough calluses, elbow skin and thick-skinned feet.

3. Ensure That You Wake Up Bright Eyed And Perky

Holi is known to be the festival of parties and where there's a party, there is also a definite lack of sleep. This could lead to you experiencing puffiness and dark circles. A quick way to resolve this issue is to use the Lighten and Smooth Under Eye Gel before you go to sleep at night. This gel works towards dissipating the pigment present in your skin while also ensuring that your skin remains firm thereby taking care of the dual problems of puffiness and dark circles in one go.

The colours that are used during Holi tend to make one unsure of whether or not they should participate in the festival. However, by following the tips mentioned, you are sure to experience all of the fun and none of the drama this Holi.
