Make sure you heavily moisturise your whole body, especially dry areas like elbows, knees, and toes. It protects the skin and creates a layer between skin and colour. 

Don’t forget to oil your hair thoroughly to protect your scalp and hair from colours and harsh chemicals. It also protects your hair from sun damage and makes it easy to wash.

Cover as much skin as you can. Wear full sleeves and cover your hair with a cap, scarf or a dupatta. 

Holi means playing in the sun all day. Make sure you wear sunscreen and protect your skin from sun exposure and damage. 

As soon as the celebration is over, rinse off the colour using lukewarm water. Long exposure of colour to the skin can cause harm to the skin and hair. 

Do not use harsh soaps and cleansers as they will irritate the skin more. Also, avoid rough scrubbing or scratching your skin to clean.
