Aayshya Jhunjhunwala, Founder, Neude Skin shares post-rituals for women that can be followed to minimise the damage and repair the skin from within, “A good moisturizer and a powerful sunscreen like Butter Mousse Non-greasy & Weightless Face Moisturizer and Sunstoppable SPF45, these are absolutely essential. Growing up, my post-Holi skincare comprised of milk and yogurt packs, which worked wonders. Deep pore cleansing and moisturizing should be integral to your post-care routine, and a soothing overnight sleeping mask can help alleviate skin damage. "

Bindu Amrutham, Founder and CEO, Suganda Skincare shares, “We all love diving into the colorful madness of Holi. It's all about the laughter, the vibrant splashes of color, and the scrumptious treats that come along with it. But let me tell you, amidst all that fun, our skin can sometimes end up feeling a little... let's say, less than thrilled. I've finally cracked the code to keep our skin happy during Holi! So, here's the scoop. A couple of days before the festival, it's all about strengthening that skin barrier. I swear by our squalene ceramide moisturizer - it's like a protective hug for your skin, used twice daily. And oh, during this time, let's take a little break from those chemical exfoliators like AHAs, BHAs, and retinol. Give them a rest. Also, a little tip: if you're using vitamin C, keep it to just 3 drops to avoid any irritation.”
“Now, for the D-day skincare strategy: Start with a generous layer of our trusty moisturizer, follow up with our light-as-air Total Defence Sunscreen, and seal the deal with a layer of Vaseline. It might sound a bit unconventional, but trust me, it creates this magical barrier that keeps those tiny color particles from sneaking into your pores. And if you're lucky enough not to worry about acne, a bit of coconut oil can do wonders too. After the fun, cleaning up is crucial. Post-Holi, the skin might feel a bit dry, which can lead to irritation. So, keeping it hydrated is key. Use products like a hyaluronic acid serum or a gentle moisturizer like our White Lotus Moisturiser to bring back the moisture.” She added
Give your skin a little break from any strong skin treatments for a few days to let it recover naturally. So, there you have it! By following these simple tricks, you can enjoy Holi to the fullest without worrying too much about your skin. It's all about balance and taking that extra bit of care during festive times.Let's make this Holi colorful, fun, and skin-friendly!
