Holi 2025 Ready: 5 Pre-Holi Skincare Tips To Avoid Skin Breakout

By: Aanchal Chaudhary | March 12, 2025

Holi is all about vibrant colours and endless fun, but let’s not forget what those colours can do to your skin! Harsh chemicals, prolonged sun exposure, and constant rubbing can lead to breakouts, irritation, and dryness

But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Follow these five essential pre-Holi skincare tips to keep your skin protected and glowing this festive season:

Moisturise: Apply a generous amount of oil-based moisturiser or coconut/almond oil to create a protective barrier against harsh colours. This prevents them from seeping into your pores and makes washing them off easier

Sunscreen: Since Holi is mostly celebrated outdoors, a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen is a must! Apply it at least 30 minutes before stepping out to shield your skin from UV damage and tanning

Close Those Pores: Splash your face with cold water or rub an ice cube before applying anything. This helps tighten pores, reducing the chances of colours settling deep into your skin and causing breakouts

Minimal/No Makeup: Avoid heavy makeup, as it can clog pores when mixed with colours and sweat. If you must, stick to lightweight BB cream, waterproof mascara, and tinted lip balm for a natural look

Hydration: Drink plenty of water and fresh juices to keep your skin hydrated and less prone to dryness or irritation from colours. A well-hydrated body means glowing, happy skin even after the celebrations
