Holi 2026: The festival of Holi is full of colors and happiness, but chemical colors, sunlight and frequent washing can also cause harm to the skin and hair. Many people have to face problems like skin dryness, burning sensation, rashes, dryness of hair and scalp irritation after Holi. In such a situation, it is very important to adopt the right skin and hair care routine so that the natural look of the skin and moisture of the hair can be restored. Let us know tips from experts.
What do experts say?
According to Dr. Richa Negi, Dermatologist of Kaya Limited, after Holi, the most important thing is to give time to the skin to recover slowly and avoid heavy chemicals. Dr. Richa said that to remove Holi colors, one should use lukewarm water and mild, unscented face wash. The skin should not be rubbed vigorously because this weakens the natural protective layer of the skin. It is important to apply moisturizer immediately after face wash so that the moisture of the skin can return.
How to heal skin and hair naturally?
After Holi, hydration is most important for the recovery of skin and hair. To bring back moisture to the skin and reduce swelling, you can use coconut oil, aloe vera gel and plain curd. Besides, to keep the body hydrated from within, it is also important to drink enough water and consume a diet rich in antioxidants. Citrus fruits like orange and lemon help in skin recovery.
Ways to bring back glow and smooth texture
According to dermatologists, when the skin barrier heals, the natural glow of the skin starts returning automatically. For this, one should use moisturizers which contain elements like ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
How to take care of hair after Holi
Applying lukewarm oil before shampooing your hair nourishes the hair and reduces dryness. Hair conditioner and oil massage from time to time makes hair smooth and shiny.
What things should be avoided after Holi
Immediately after Holi, one should not use harsh cleansers, take bath with very hot water, use strong scented soaps or chemical products. This can cause the skin to become more dry and sensitive. Scratching the skin can also be harmful. Washing hair excessively and using blow dryers or straighteners can slow down the recovery process.
How to choose the right shampoo and skin products?
After Holi, one should use sulphate-free and pH-balanced shampoo and gentle, fragrance-free body wash. Ingredients like aloe vera, oat extract, ceramides and glycerin help in maintaining moisture of skin and hair.
