Holi is a festival of colours that brings joy, laughter, and amazing memories! But those vibrant gulal packets can leave your skin dry, irritated, or even trigger allergies. This year, don’t let harsh colours steal your glow! With the right Holi skin care routine, you can shield your skin from pre-festivities and revive it post-celebration. Ayurvedic Sutra’s natural, toxin-free products are your secret weapon to prep, protect, and pamper your skin- because Holi should leave behind happiness, not regret.
Pre-Holi Skin Care: Protect Your Skin Before the Festivities Begin
Prep Your Skin with a Nourishing Shield
One of the most important pre-Holi skin care tips is to massage a small layer of coconut or olive oil. Apply all over your skin for 30 minutes before going out. These oils retain moisture, prevent colours from penetrating deeply, and make washing off easier.
Sunscreen: Your Skin’s Best Friend
Sun exposure and chemical colours are a recipe for dullness. For skin care before Holi, apply a natural sunscreen with SPF 30+ (like Ojas Sutra Day Cream) to shield against UV rays while keeping skin hydrated. Its lightweight formula, enriched with elaichi and neem, blends effortlessly and doubles as a moisturizer. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors- because glowing skin shouldn’t come at the cost of sunburns!
Oil Up Your Hair
Tie your hair in a braid or bun and apply coconut oil. This prevents colours from clinging to strands and reduces post-Holi frizz.
Keep Your Lips & Nails Protected
For nails, dab petroleum jelly around cuticles to avoid stubborn stains. Pro tip: Trim nails short to minimize colour buildup!
Lips need extra love too. Apply a thick layer of cold cream or ghee on the lips to keep them soft.
Post-Holi Skin Care Tips: Revive and Restore Your Glow
Gentle Cleansing to Rescue Stressed Skin
Do not use harsh soaps! Use Nitya Sutra Face Wash which is a mild cleanser. It contains honey and sandalwood that elevates colours without removing the natural oils. Its cooling formula reduces inflammation and leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated. Massage in circular motions with lukewarm water.
No Harsh Scrubbing
Stubborn Holi colors? Instead of harsh scrubbing, you can use a gentle Ayurvedic exfoliant like Nava Sutra Face Scrub. This facial scrub is enriched with Kumkumadi Oil, walnuts, and grapeseed. It removes colours and dirt while keeping the natural oils intact. The antioxidant-rich formula with pomegranate and orange peel gently buffs dead skin cells, improves texture, and leaves your face glowing. Perfect for all skin types, it is the best post-Holi skin care hero to restore softness.
Lock in Moisture, Lock Out Dryness
Holi colours can sap your skin’s moisture. Replenish it with Ojas Sutra Day Cream, a Holi face cream that hydrates deeply while the SPF 30 protects from any further skin damage (since the exfoliated skin can be a bit vulnerable). It is lightweight, non-greasy and absorbs quickly in your skin. Infused with Elaichi, Eladi oil, and neem extracts, it combats dryness, evens skin tone, and boosts elasticity. Whether you’re applying makeup or going bare-faced, this face cream for women and men keeps your skin supple and radiant through the Holi chaos.
Night-Time Healing for Tired Skin
After Holi’s hustle, your skin deserves a good nourishment. The Vayas Sutra Anti-Ageing Cream is a skincare product that helps your skin recover and rejuvenate even in sleep. Blending kumkumadi oil, dates, and litchi, this Ayurvedic anti-ageing cream repairs damage, fades pigmentation and reduces fine lines. The luxurious mix of rose extract and plum oil leaves skin plump and smooth, while Kesar and Manjistha revive tired complexions. A nightly dab of this cream ensures you wake up to a fresher, brighter glow.
