Skin Care after Holi

Skin care after holi  

Hi

In India we all play rigorous and heart full holi festival with all sorts of colors. Holi without colors is meaningless and with colors your beauty is in danger. The consequence of Holi in not just spoilt clothes and floors, but skin and hair damage too due to the presence of chemicals in the colours used. But after the holi, our skin reflects the effect of colors in form of allergy, pimples, and color residues. Most of us play this festival with color mixed with water which results as skin tanning.

I will share some tips which will be helpful to you in reducing the after-effects of holi colors, sunbath. 

1. Let’s start with tanning: For instant reduction of tanning, you should go for any oxy bleach. But if you want to avoid bleach than go for face pack made of gram floor (besan) mixed with raw milk and pinch of bleach activator. Do not let this pack to dry.  

Always, go for proper cleaning regimen every day and night. This is cleansing, toning and moisturizing your face. 

2. Removal of left colors: The colors which left on the face will give an uneven tone to the skin. Every body wants to have the same old glow on their faces which was as before holi. I am again stressing on regular skin cleansing regimen. Use sweet almond oil to remove holi color from your face. Use homemade scrub of sugar mixed with glycerin. You can also use paste of amchoor (dried mango powder) mixed with water to remove the color.

3. Control acne problem: For that sudden pimple emerged after holi festival. You need to take extra care of your skin as it can cause an allergy. Firstly do not touch it frequently as it can rupture and turn into scar. Apply any strong astringent only on the pimple, so that it will be suppressed. In the night, mix honey with neem powder and cinnamon powder and leave it on that pimple. Wash it in the morning.  

4. Allergies: We can sooth face allergies by rubbing water melon juice and applying sandalwood paste mixed with vitamin E oil. Also you can use honey on your face. Leave honey for at least 20minutes than wash it with normal tap water. Betnovate GM can be used for small allergies. But if allergy persists than visit your skin dermatologist. 

There are few face packs which can be useful to treat your skin:

1. For dry skin: Mix 1 tsp almond powder with 1 tsp honey, 2 drops lemon juice, little milk. Apply this paste on your face. Let it stay for 20 minutes and than remove this pack by rubbing your face gently with rose water. This will make your skin soft and clean.
   
2. For oily skin: Especially for acne problem. Mix 1 tsp soaked Masoor Dal with dried Orange peel, 1 tsp rose water, 2 - 3 drops lemon juice. Apply this paste on your face. Wait till it dry out, than remove it with cold water and apply cucumber juice.
