Prep Before You Play: Holi Skincare Essentials before the Colour Hits

Holi vibes are on, and we are already rounding up all the balam pichkaris, jamming to the latest Holi bangers, and, of course, stuffing ourselves with barfis, gujias, chilled Thandai, and every sweet treat in sight. 


But, between all the colors and the feasting, skincare kinda slips off the radar, right? One minute you’re in full-on Holi mode, and then boom - your skin’s like, “Help, what did you just do to me?”


If you have ever found yourself scrambling with last-minute skincare before the colors start flying, trust me, you are not just alone! Whether you’re clueless about how to get your skin Holi-ready or need a quick plan to protect it from the after-effects, this guide is all you need!

But before we start, let’s bust a common myth! Most people think only after-Holi skincare matters. Sure, it's important, but that’s just half the battle. The real win is when you prep your skin before the colors fly. 


Now, don’t get dramatic on me - we’re not talking about some long 10-step routine that’ll stress you out. Instead, we’ll share simple, easy, and totally doable Holi skin care tips to protect your skin through the whole rang fest.


So, without any dhak dhak, let’s jump into the ultimate pre- and post-Holi skincare plan that’ll give you Hi-Glaze glow through all the gulal and gujias!

Hydrate Before You Celebrate Hi-Glaze Dewy Skin!

Before the colors hit, your skin needs a little hydration boost to stay smooth and glowing through all the Holi madness. We all know how it goes - all that gulal and sun can leave your skin feeling tight, dry and not-so-Holi-ready.


So basically you need a moisturizer that’s light, non-greasy, and hydrating enough to keep your skin from turning into an oily mess. You need Neude Skin Dew Daily Energising Face Moisturiser Gel! It’s packed with soothing milk peptides to calm any irritation, and keep you glowing – without the heavy, greasy feel. This gel-based formula feels super light and airy, yet keeps your skin protected. 

Block the Sun, Keep the Fun, Be Sunstoppable!

The Holi party might be lit, but don’t let the sun steal your glow! Sunscreen before playing Holi is a must! Before you dive into the color chaos, make sure your skin is prepped up to take on the sun rays! Forget your basic sunscreens, and get one that’ll give you Hi-Glaze Sunglow without all the greasy, sticky drama.


Neude Sunstoppable SPF45 PA+++ is here to keep you looking fresh and sun-kissed without the tan. Packed with milk-powered actives and Zinc Oxide, it blocks UVA/UVB rays, and repairs past damage while keeping you safe from tanning. No white cast, no oil slick, just smooth, glowing skin that’s ready to take on the sun. So, slather it on and get ready to glow through the day while keeping that Holi spirit alive!


Make sure to apply it generously before stepping into the Holi fun! Next time you're wondering how to protect skin from Holi sun damage, you’ll know exactly what to do!
