Holi brings us joy in many colors, but the use of artificial colors affects our skin in many ways. Exposure to harsh colors, sun, and pollution can leave your skin dry, irritated, and dull.

That’s why following a well-structured Pre-Holi Skincare Routine and Post-Holi Skincare Routine practices.is essential to protect, nourish, and restore your skin’s health. Let’s dive into an effective skincare regimen that ensures your skin stays happy before and after Holi!

Why Pre-Holi Skincare Matters?

The colors used in Holi majorly contain chemicals (endotoxins, synthetic dyes) that leave a deep impact on the skin. So, an effective Pre-Holi Skincare Routine is required to generate a protective shield for the skin. The use of products like Oat Silk Body Lotion helps to reduce the damage and ensure your skin stays hydrated and nourished.
