Post-Holi Care: Skincare & Shower Essentials

Played with colours, had a blast, now it's time to pamper your skin. Here’s your ultimate post-Holi care guide to cleanse, soothe, and hydrate.

Wash Gently

Rinse off colours with lukewarm water using a mild cleanser. Avoid scrubbing, as it can damage your skin.

Oil Cleansing Before Bath

Apply coconut or olive oil before washing to loosen stubborn colours and prevent excessive dryness.

Avoid Hot Water & Scrubbing

Hot water can dry out the skin, and scrubbing aggressively can cause irritation. Let colours fade gradually.

Deep Moisturisation

Apply a thick layer of moisturiser immediately after bathing while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.

Skip Active Ingredients

Avoid retinol, glycolic acid, kojic acid, or Vitamin C for at least 4–5 days, as these can make your skin more sensitive after Holi.

Soothe with Natural Remedies

If you experience redness or irritation, apply pure coconut oil or aloe vera gel to calm your skin.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and keep your skin healthy from within.

Protect with Sunscreen

Holi colours can make your skin more sensitive, so don’t skip sunscreen when stepping out, even after the festival.
