  • Your Holi preparations and safety measures are incomplete without applying sunscreen. Here's how a sunscreen with SPF can save your skin from toxic colours and heat.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the importance of using sunscreen during the festival of Holi to protect the skin from the harsh effects of both the sun and the vibrant, often chemically-laden colors used in the celebrations. It highlights that Holi, celebrated with enthusiasm, involves activities that expose skin to direct sunlight for extended periods, increasing the risk of sunburn, skin damage, and premature aging. The colors used during Holi can contain harmful substances like lead, mercury, and other chemicals that can irritate the skin, cause rashes, or even lead to more severe allergic reactions. Sunscreen acts as a barrier, not only against UV rays but also helps in reducing the penetration of these harmful color particles into the skin. The article suggests choosing a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 30, applying it generously before playing Holi, and reapplying if necessary, to ensure comprehensive protection. Additionally, it recommends post-Holi skincare routines to mitigate any adverse effects from the colors.
