Luminous glowing no-makeup looks
While you wear bright colors studded with shiny embroidery, your skin must shine from within, right? Heavy makeup is so yesterday. When your skin looks flawless, all you need is a bit of lipstick and mascara on your eyes, and you’re good to go.
To combat damage by harmful Holi colours
Holi colors have the reputation of being full of chemicals. If you want to go the eco-friendly route, you can also buy organic rang or make your own by dying coconut scrapings.
Anyway, colour burdening your skin can cause clogged pores and skin reactions. Sensitive-skin ladies are especially prone to itching and redness post a day of Holi celebrations.
For preventing sun damage on the day
The festvial of rang lasts the whole day and even spills over to the day preceding and succeeding. It’s only obvious that you’ll be spending a good amount of time in the scorching sun as well as you delight in the colour play. Sun damage can cause irreparable effects, so protection is absolutely necessary.
Prepping and skincare tips for Holi
So how does one prep their skin for the festival?
Here’s a quick look at skin care tips for glowing skin
Start with a good cleanse:
If your face is dull and lacklustre, we recommend a double cleanse to start of your skincare. You can use a DIY cleanser like multani mitti and honey to gently rub off debris. Follow it up with a gentle cleanser for clean skin.
Exfoliate for smooth skin:
A good exfoliation helps bring out new skin cells while shedding old and dull layer. Always exfoliate at least 2-3 days before the actual event.
Moisturise well:
Do not be scanty with your moisturiser. Especially in the dry season, take 2-3 pumps of moisturizer and apply it to the damp skin. Don’t forget to wait for it to absorb well before using the next product.
Face oil for glow:
Here’s the gamechanger. A face oil illuminates and hydrates skin from within. You can try our lightweight and intensely hydrating face oil to seal in your moisturiser.
