Tips To Pamper Your Skin Post Holi
1. Using a foamy face wash is suggested as the foam ideally will remove dirt, colours and excess oil, wherein retaining the natural moisture of the skin. A word of caution, use a cleanser that caters to your skin as per your skin type.
2. Avoid using warm water directly on the skin as it might not prove to be very helpful. Instead, use cold water as it will easily wash off the colour easily.
3. Do not go overboard with scrubbing as it may dry out your skin and make it itchy and uneven.
4. Use an oil, like a cold pressed coconut oil over certain areas and let it settle for a bit as it will make the removal of colour super easy.
5. Use of a good moisturiser and face serum is a must and if needed, you can apply them at regular intervals as well.
