Holi is just around the corner, and it is the perfect time to celebrate with family and friends and let your hair down. A common dampener in the festivities is if your skin gets damaged and plays spoilt-sport, ruining this enjoyable experience. But worry not, Uttara Talapatra, Founder, Magical Blends share a few choice tips and tricks to ensure that your skin retains its healthy glow while you enjoy playing with colours to the fullest!
Prep,Prep,Prep!
Always remember to prep your skin before playing Holi to ensure it does not get damaged. Cleanse your skin gently and don’t exfoliate, ensuring a natural protective layer over your skin cells. Holi prepping also involves hydration. Remember to hydrate your skin inside and out, so its natural barrier is fortified and its integrity is maintained. The Magical Blends Deep Nourishing cream, coupled with several glasses of water should do the trick!
Protect before you Play!
Holi is best enjoyed outdoors and in the open. Its March, and the scorching heat can give undesirable side-effects of playing Holi outdoors. Remember to protect your face and body by applying a generous amount of SPF.
The Magical Blends SunDefence Sunscreen SPF 50 Serum protects against the sun while you play to your heart’s content. Being oil based, it is also water-resistant, providing you with additional protection.
Strengthen your Skin Barrier!
Always play with organic colours that do not contain harmful chemicals or trace elements that may interact with your skin adversely. In addition, strengthen your skin barrier with hyaluronic acid which gives an additional layer of fortification to your natural skin barrier. Pair this up with niacinamide-based goodness, that helps take care of your complexion while you play in the sun.
Post Play Cleanup!
After completing your Holi celebrations, always rinse off all Holi colours using a gentle cleanser and exfoliate carefully to get rid of stains. Be gentle with your skin – it has just been through a lot and has helped you enjoy this colourful festival with your family and friends. Don’t delay cleansing as it may cause damage if the colours stay in contact with your skin for an extended period of time.
Afterparty Replenishment & Glow!
After a full day of playing with colours, it is time to be kind to your skin and help it regenerate and get pampered. Start with a Nourishing Cream for long lasting hydration post cleansing. Add a few drops of the Magical Blends Nourishing Overnight Serum to soothe, calm and restore your skin, thanks to its ceramide-enriched formula.
Just follow these simple steps and celebrate Holi, worry free!!
