coat with oil

Apply a layer of oil on the face

Before playing Holi, wake up early in the morning and apply a thick layer of heavy oil on the face. This keeps your skin protected from colors to a great extent, even if your face feels a little sticky. Mustard oil or coconut oil are the best options as they are thick and effective.

use of sunscreen

use of jelly or sunscreen

If you do not want to apply oil, apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly on the face and body. If you are going to play Holi in the open field, do not forget to apply a thick layer of waterproof sunscreen. This will not only provide protection from colours, but will also keep your skin safe from strong sunlight.

Lip and nail care

Special care of lips and nails

Along with protecting the face, do not forget to apply good lip balm on the lips. The skin of the lips is very delicate and applying color can cause wounds, which later cause pain. Apply nail polish to protect your nails. Girls can use colored and boys can use transparent nail paint.

safe clothing and shoes

clothing and footwear covering the entire body

Take care not only of the face but also of the skin of hands and feet. Wear full sleeve clothes and massage oil on the body also. For Holi, choose shoes or slippers that cover the feet completely and have good grip. This will protect your skin from direct contact with colors and will also provide protection from slipping.
