It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

YOUR GUIDE TO AMAZING SKIN PRE AND POST HOLI

-


Holi is unequivocally the most vibrant and colorful festival in the world. While traditionally it was celebrated with dry gulal and buckets of water, unfortunately, today it comes with splashes of synthetic pigments. Aftereffects of which not only cause discomfort to our skin, hair, eyes but also can be hazardous to our health. Perhaps why a little precaution goes a long way.

Take Holi skincare tips from the best. And who better than skincare maven, Dr. Anju Methil who keeps takes you through every measure you ought to take before you bring the house down.


Here’s how to protect hair and skin from Holi colors:


The Holi colors stay on my skin and hair for a few days. How can I prevent this from happening?

Dr. Methil: A day before Holi, apply body oil all over your body and massage it into the skin. This hydrates skin so that it absorbs less color the next day. You can also oil your hair to form a protective shield on strands.



Recommended: Bio Skincare Oil






What precautions must one take on the day itself?

Dr. Methil: Just an hour before you play Holi, apply body lotion on your body. Protect the area around the eyes by applying Vaseline and rub a dash of baby oil on eyelashes and nails. Always wear full-sleeved clothing to avoid direct exposure to colors.



Recommended: Vaseline Original Pure Skin Jelly






What is the post-play routine for everyone to follow?

Dr. Methil: Use a gentle face wash and body wash all over and gently scrub the skin with a loofah to get rid of the color. Use a clarifying shampoo to rinse color from hair. After the shampoo, apply conditioner on the lengths of hair. Leave on for a couple of minutes and rinse with cold water. Use color protect conditioner for color-treated hair. After your shower, don’t forget to apply a nourishing body lotion and face moisturizer as the skin tends to become dry due to excess color and sun exposure.

I’ve just had a re-bonding treatment done. Will playing Holi affect my hair?

Dr. Methil: If the re-bonding was done in the last three days, then playing Holi is a strict no-no. Re-bonded hair takes three days to settle and contact with water is strictly prohibited at that time. Other than that, playing Holi is safe. Just make sure to use shampoo and conditioner specially meant for chemically treated hair.

My skin tends to itch after exposure to certain products. How do I make sure the Holi color doesn’t affect my skin?

Dr. Methil: Make sure to use organic colors to play Holi and remember to apply either oil or moisturizer all over your body, especially exposed body parts before playing Holi.

How can I safely play Holi?

Dr. Methil: Protecting your skin and hair during Holi requires you to follow all following all the pre and post care dos and don’ts mentioned above. It’s always a good idea to use more water and flower petals and less color. If you have to use color, go organic. Alternatively, use natural colors like Haldi and organic gulal.



Recommended: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion For Dry Skin






How can I soothe redness and skin irritation after color removal?

Dr. Methil: The redness is caused by an allergic reaction to the Holi colors that are often adulterated with heavy metals and engine oils. Always use a good moisturizer to soothe skin afterward and you may use a mild steroid and antibiotic based cream to take care of the allergy.
