Holi 2026: Protect Your Skin From Toxic Colors With Expert Tips
•Dr. Anamika Wadhera warns against synthetic Holi colors containing harmful chemicals like lead, mercury, and chromium, which can cause skin irritation and long-term damage.
•Apply a thick layer of moisturizer or natural oils (coconut, almond, olive) before playing Holi to create a protective barrier against colors and chemicals.
•Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ for sun protection and to strengthen skin's defense against environmental stress.
•Opt for natural or herbal colors made from plant-based ingredients like turmeric, hibiscus, and beetroot to reduce irritation risks.
•Wear full-sleeved clothing, avoid wet chemical colors, and remove colors promptly with lukewarm water and mild cleanser, followed by moisturizer or aloe vera gel.
