Holi Skincare & Haircare: Protect & Nourish with YouNeek ProScience

Holi is one of India's most awaited festivals that fills the day with colors and lasting memories. Rooted in tradition, it symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring.

As we engage ourselves in the devotion & merriment of this festival, we neglect the adverse effects of Holi colors that damage our skin by entering into our epidermal pores. These colors can cause skin irritation, itching, and burning sensation. In this blog, you will discover tips on how to protect your skin and hair against the harmful Holi colors and preserve your natural beauty. Whether it is pre-Holi care or a post-Holi remedy, now you can enjoy the festival without any worries.

Pre-Holi Haircare Routine

1. Apply nourishing hair oil - Use YouNeek Japanese Camellia Hair Oil before you step out for the festival. This moisturizing hair oil can protect your hair from harmful colors that enter your scalp through open pores. It is enriched with antioxidants and essential nutrients that strengthen the scalp while reducing hair fall and frizziness.
2. Tie Your Hair to Minimize Exposure - Leaving your hair loose increases exposure to colors, allowing chemicals to be absorbed more easily. Tie your hair in a plait or a bun to prevent dryness caused by excess color spread and make post-Holi hair wash hassle-free.
3. Cover Your Hair - To protect your hair from damage, wear a scarf against colors containing harsh chemicals. 
4. Skip Shampoo Before Holi - Shampooing before Holi can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it more vulnerable to damage. It's best to keep your hair well-oiled to protect it from dryness and color absorption. Dry hair is likely to get affected by the sun, making it brittle and prone to breakage.

Post-Holi Haircare Routine

1. Detangle Before Washing - Before washing, use a wide-tooth comb to remove dust and color particles, reducing breakage.
2. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Harsh shampoo results in dry scalp and frizzy hair; you can replace the shampoo with YouNeek Japanese Camellia Shampoo. It is enriched with botanical extracts that deeply cleanse without removing the natural moisture of your hair.
3. Rinse with Cold or Lukewarm Water - Hot water can cause dryness and further damage; rather, use cold or lukewarm water to rinse off the colors gently.
4. Deep Condition Your Hair - Use a conditioner containing natural ingredients like Camellia oil, Shea Butter, and Sea Buckthorn to repair damage caused by harsh colors. This conditioner restores hydration with a deep-conditioning treatment.
5. Let Your Hair Air Dry - Do not blow dry your hair after Holi; instead of using heat styling tools, gently pat it with a soft towel and let it air dry.

Washing your hair with sulfate-free shampoo and deep hydrating conditioner can nourish, clean, and revive your hair after coming in contact with formulated colors.

Pre-Holi Skincare Routine

1. Apply a Barrier of Oil or Moisturizer - Use coconut oil on your face and body before going out. Its natural antibacterial & antifungal properties prevent harmful colors from entering your skin.
2. Use a sunscreen - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreento protect your skin from UV rays before stepping out.
3. Wear Minimal Makeup - Avoid heavy makeup, as it can mix with Holi colors and clog pores. Opt for a BB cream or tinted moisturizer for a fresh, natural look.

Post-Holi Skincare Routine

After the celebration, use a mild cleanser to maintain healthy, balanced skin without stripping away natural oils. It gently removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities while keeping the skin hydrated and nourished. Youneek face wash and face scrub consisting of Kakadu Plum keep your skin soft, smooth, and healthy.

1. Gently Exfoliate - To gently clean any leftover color particles, use YouNeek Australian Kakadu Plum Face Scrub that promotes skin rejuvenation.
2. Hydrate & Moisturize - Holi colors are chemical-based and harsh on your delicate skin. The application of a hydrating serum or moisturizer can restore your skin's moisture balance.
3. Soothe with a Face Mask - Holi colors cause irritation and rashes; using a cooling face mask with aloe vera consisting of salicylic acid can help to calm such problems.
