If you’re among those people, there’s no need to feel disheartened. This blog is everything that you need to cope with this unpleasant situation so you celebrate stress free Holi.

Why Does Holi Celebration Affect Your Sensitive Skin?

Holi colors are often made up of harsh chemical substances and artificial dyes that can cause inflammation and heightened sensitivity. To manage this condition most effectively, here are some fundamental points you should know:

1. Avoid synthetic dyes such as azo dyes and coal tar derivatives commonly found in Holi color powders.
2. Check labels for dyes that may cause allergic reactions to your skin. 
3. Color powders without heavy metals like lead and mercury are a big NO,and this applies to all skin types.
4. Cover yourself with full sleeve clothes to prevent penetration of harmful compounds into skin.
5. Implement post-Holi skincare routines to restore the skin's balance and relief from inflammation and irritation.

While you take these precautions to minimize the impact of harsh colors, you should consider following these skincare tips in order to almost negate the adverse effects of Holi colors. So let's create a personalized Holi skincare routine to protect and keep your sensitive skin nourished throughout festivities.
