1.  Apply Good Moisturizer: To begin with, we recommend you to apply a good moisturizer to keep your face and skin safe from harsh holi colors. Use a good quality nourishing moisturizer, as it will help preventing the holi color to stick your skin.

2.  Apply SPF 50+ Sunscreen: Second tip in our Pick of Expert Before Holi Skin care Tips is to apply a good SPF 50+ Sunscreen. This can be in a cream or lotion form, but make sure to get at least 50+ SPF for proper protection against sun rays when you play holi at daytime. Try using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+

3.  Wear Full Sleeve Clothes: Third important before holi beauty tip for your whole body is to wear covered clothes. Try wearing full sleeve clothes to safeguard your body; especially arms and legs from holi colors. 

4.  Trim Your Nails: Before you step out to play holi, don’t forget to trim your nails. This will prevent holi colors to enter nails and spoil them. Keep them as short as possible to prevent them from getting damaged during holi.

5.  Apply Transparent Nail Varnish: Girls are fond of keeping long nails, and if you are one of them, we suggest you to apply a transparent nail varnish. This way, your nails will be saved from chemicals of holi colors as the varnish will act as a safe coat on your nails.

6.  Keep Your Hair Oiled: We bet you must have heard your granny suggesting to apply hairoil before stepping out to play holi. Yes, this is an old yet best trick to save hair from the holi damage. Oiling hair prevents them from getting coated with chemically coated holi colors. 

7.  Apply a Hair Serum: If you don’t prefer applying oil on your hair, you can also try a good hair serum for protection against harsh colors of holi. So, the next pre-holi hair care tip for you is to apply a good hair serum like Livon Hair Serum.

8.  Tie Up Your Hair: Likewise, we advise you to tie up your hair and not leave them open on the holi day. Loose open hair will get more damage as compared to tied ones. It would be best to tie a braid or make a bun to keep your hair safe on holi.

9.  Apply a SPF Lip Balm: Are you too worried only for your hair and face before playing holi? What about your soft tender lips? Leave the lipcare on a good SPF Lip Balm to take care of the lips while you play holi with friends and family. We suggest using lipbalm like Lakme Lip Love.

10.              Wear Non-Slippery Footwear: Last of all, remember all your pre-holi skincare and beauty care will go waste if you forget to wear the right footwear on the holi day. Make sure to wear a non-slippery footwear, don’t try wearing shoes but open sandals or floaters.
