Hey gorgeous! With the most awaited festival of colours around the corner, we are sure you are excited, and so are we. Worried about dry skin and colour stains? Fret no more! This Holi, we are here to help you enjoy to the fullest with the best Holi skincare tips. So this season, you can play with colours and also protect your skin and nails like a pro!
Pre Holi Skincare
Applying Oil To Hair And Body
Growing up, our mothers made sure we oil our hair and body right before we stepped out to play Holi. This is an essential pre Holi skincare step that makes it easier to wash off the colours, without having to use excessively harsh scrubs.
Embrace Vibrancy: Shield Your Nails
One of the most effective Holi skincare tips is to give ample attention to your nails because who likes stained nails, right? Paint the town red with LoveChild’s poppy nail colour Laila (Magenta) which is formulated with Hexanal for long-term nail care and protects them from toxins. Make sure you apply 2-3 coats before stepping out to play Holi.
Protect Your Skin: Sunscreen Is a Must
Before you go gaga over colours, make sure you moisturize your face well. On this day, one pre Holi skin care tip that shouldn’t leave your side is using sunscreen. Colours are not the only things that may affect your skin during the sunny day of Holi; harmful UV rays also do a lot of damage. So, as a part of skin care for Holi, dab on some Surya Namaskar, a lightweight invisible serum sunscreen with SPF 50 and PA+++ to keep your skin healthy!
Guard Your Lips
We tend to forget to protect our lips in the pre Holi skin care routine even though they’re the most delicate parts of our skin. Our ‘ I Like To Sugarcoat ‘ lip balms with SPF 22 are a must for pre holi hydration and sun protection. Enriched with almond oil, shea butter & vitamin E, they also add a cute tint to your lippies! So, make sure to prioritise lip care by applying a generous layer of lip balm before heading out. Applying lip balm before playing Holi is a simple yet effective skincare tip to ensure your lips stay protected during the festivities.
Post Holi Skincare
After indulging in Holi celebrations, you might feel tired and eager to remove all the harsh colours from your skin. However, it's important to handle your skin with care and gentleness, as vigorous scrubbing can lead to irritation and allow colour particles to penetrate deeply. Follow these post-Holi skin care tips to maintain the health of your skin.
Cleanse Those Colours Off
This Holi get your hands on our Signing Off’ Makeup Remover & Cleansing Balm. Our cleansing balm is designed to effectively dissolve and lift away impurities and will help you remove the Holi pigments. Enriched with Cherry Blossom, which is full of antioxidants, it repairs & smoothens the skin. Use this balm to get rid of all those colourful stains. Massage it in a circular motion and wash it off with lukewarm water, letting you sign off those colours with a sigh of relief!
Juicy Lips Check
Deep cleansing and scrubbing while removing Holi colours can strip natural oils from your skin, including your lips, leaving them dry and prone to chapping. Lip balm also helps replenish lost moisture and keeps your lips hydrated. So when it comes to maintenance-related skin care tips for Holi, don’t forget to moisturise those gentle lips with a coat of our Coffee & Cake lip balm – made to hydrate your lips inside out. After applying our Coffee and Cake lip balm, say yes to soft lips that are yummy & tinted too!
Bring Life Back Into The Tired Under Eyes
A full day of playing with colours and water in the sun can get heavy on the sensitive skin around our eyes too. Roll With It! Is an under-eye cream enriched with plant-based retinol, it instantly depuffs the eye and reduces wrinkles. Actiflo El technology in the cream helps strengthen the under-eye barrier and helps with dark circles. Viamarine provides much-needed hydration as a part of skincare for Holi. The Osilift technology smoothens the eye for instant firmness. Now, no more looking like a zombie the next day after Holi!
From Colours To Calm: Unwind After a Vibrant Holi Celebration
Holi can be fun, but it can also leave you feeling tired afterwards, especially with the effort required to remove all those vibrant colours. That’s why our post Holi skin care tips also have something to pamper you. Sit back and relax with our ‘The Rocking Chair’ Anti-anxiety oil, it is enriched with lavender oil, widely known for its calming and relaxing properties. Breathing in the scent of lavender both lessens anxiety and improves mood. It may also help promote sleep and fight insomnia.
