Holi is the festival of love and colours that marks the triumph of superior over immoral. This year Holi is going to be celebrated on 9 March and 10 March in India. Here are some tips for safe Holi for you and your family.

Holi is popularly known as the Indian “festival of spring”, ” the festival of colours” and “the festival of love”. This festival signifies the victory of good over evil.

Traditionally, Holi colours were made from plants and herbs. But nowadays, these colours are filled with chemicals, industrial dyes and other toxic substances. Ergo, they’re not good for skin and cause rashes, irritation, itching, eczema, abrasion, discolouration, etc.

Stay safe this year by keeping these tips in mind to enjoy a safe Holi.

1) Your skin is important. Apply a generous amount of moisturiser or coconut oil on the body parts that are not covered before stepping out of your house. Coconut Oil prevents damage to your skin and hairs.

2) Keep yourself and your kids at a safe distance from bonfire.

3) Buy natural colours from the market. Or you can make colours at home from marigold flowers, turmeric and other plants.

4) Try to avoid bright colours such as green, red, purple and black since they are more likely to contain harmful ingredients.

5) Wear sunglasses. Protect your eyes from dirt and colours. Do not wear contact lenses. If by any chance colours enter the eyes, rinse them with cold water immediately.

6) If you’re prone to Asthama or any other respiratory problems, try to stay indoors.

7) Avoid using harsh shampoo and soaps to get rid of colours from your body. Apply a soothing body lotion with no fragrance or aloe vera gel to avoid irritation.

7) Keep your pets away from Holi colours. Do not throw colours on random stray animals. It is extremely harmful to them and is cruel.

8) Try to avoid water balloons and wet Holi this year. Since it is easier for Coronavirus to transmit through wet particles.

9) Last but not the least stay hydrated. Water prevents harmful substances to get absorbed in your body and helps in getting rid of extra toxins.

Wishing you and your family a very colourful, safe and healthy Holi.
