Oil's Well That Ends Well 

Apply coconut oil or olive oil on your face and body before you indulge in the colors. Olive oil is very light and does not feel greasy. You can even use almond oil. If you find its smell a bit stronger, use a few drops of another fragrant oil to subdue the odour, like lavender or sandalwood. You can also use sunscreen as it'll protect your skin from the Sun.  

Use the oil properly all over your body and especially your face, neck, shoulders, and hands. You can apply moisturizer also over it. This will create a protective layer and make your life easy when you're done playing with colors. Taking those colors off will be much easier and the oil protects you from the harmful effect of colors.  So start with oil and the Holi well.

Seal Your Lips With Jelly

Of course not literally but when you apply petroleum jelly on your lips, it keeps them protected from the colors. It also hydrates your lips when you're out there in the Sun.

Avoid Face Wash and Soaps

Avoid using face wash and soaps to remove colors as they can be a little tough on your skin. They may end up affecting the alkalinity of your skin. The ph balance of your skin should be maintained. Once again oil to the rescue. Yes, use oil to remove colors from your face.

Moisturize It Well 

After you wash off the colors, it's important that you moisturize yourself well again. Dab it on yourself to keep your skin nourished and fresh.

Don't Forget The Nails

There's a simple solution to protect your nails and glam them up. Yes, get your favorite nail paint and cover them up with a fresh coat. Nails can take in the chemicals from the colors, which can find their way into your system. So make sure you don't leave them exposed to the colors.

Most of us have been through the struggle with Holi colors. Some of us can even get allergies or skin irritation from them. Apart from the tips mentioned above, you may want to wear clothes that cover most of your skin. You may wear full sleeves and full-length clothes to minimize the area exposed to colors.
