Beauty Tips Before Holi
Pre Holi Skin Care Tips
It might not seem necessary but prepping your skin before holi is the most beneficial step. A word of caution, do know your skin type and then choose the oil and sunscreen.
1. Thoroughly apply oil to the skin and other exposed areas of the body as it serves as a protecting layer.
2. To protect your nails, do not forget to apply nail colour. Depending on the quality and consistency, apply one or two coats of the nail paint.
3. Do not forget to apply sunscreen as it will not only protect your skin from colour but also prevents sun damage.
