Holi 2026: Dermatologists Warn Against Skin & Hair Damage, Offer Urgent Advice
•Dermatologists warn that artificial colors, sun exposure, and repeated washing during Holi can severely damage skin and hair.
•Preventive care before Holi is crucial, as it's easier than treating post-festival dermatitis, allergic reactions, or severe hair dryness.
•Experts advise starting hydration 3-4 days in advance with thick moisturizers and increasing water intake.
•Strengthen skin's natural barrier with gentle cleansers, ceramide-based moisturizers, and sunscreen.
•Avoid new active ingredients like retinoids, chemical peels, exfoliating acids, or retinol 2-3 days before Holi to prevent increased sensitivity and irritation.
