Sindoor Khela (Sindoor Khela) is enjoyed. Vermilion color on cheeks and forehead. But at the end of the festival, redness, itching, irritation or small rashes may appear on the skin. Especially if you have sensitive skin, vermilion ingredients, combined with sweat, repeated rubbing and makeup can cause skin discomfort. So it is important to be aware of skin care. You can relax your skin in simple ways at home, not expensive cosmetics.
1. Gently lift the vermilion from the skin
Do not rub your face vigorously to remove vermilion. First remove the vermilion with a dry soft tissue. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. Cleanse the face with a mild, unscented face wash. Be especially careful if you have vermilion around the eyes.
2. If it burns, cook it cold
If there is redness, mild irritation or itching on the face, soak a clean soft cloth in cold water and keep it on the skin for 5-10 minutes. Do not rub ice directly on the face. It is better not to apply any cream or medicine on the face without the advice of an experienced doctor.
3. Use moisturizer
Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer after cleansing the skin. It helps in maintaining skin moisture. It is better not to use any new cosmetics that you have not used before, especially if the skin already has irritation or rash.
4. Hold off on scrubs and facials for now
Avoid scrubbing, stiff brushing or repeated cleansing to remove vermilion. Avoid retinol, AHA/BHA-like exfoliating ingredients, bleach, and new facials until skin is normal. It can reduce the risk of excessive burning.
5. Be careful using household ingredients
Many people use lemon juice, besan, turmeric or various home packs to reduce skin irritation. But if the skin is sensitive, these ingredients can also cause irritation. So it is better not to experiment in the initial stage.
6. Apply sunscreen when going out in the sun
If you have normal skin, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day. However, if any cosmetic causes irritation, stop using it. If the skin is very sensitive, consult a doctor to choose a suitable sunscreen.
Vermilion can sometimes cause contact dermatitis. If this happens, consult a dermatologist. If vermilion gets into the eye and causes pain or vision problems, seek immediate treatment.
