Dermatologist’s Guide to Safe Holi Skincare | Dr. Gunjan Verma | HCMCT Manipal Hospitals Dwarka

Holi is a festival of colors, but harsh chemicals and sun exposure can damage your skin if proper care is not taken. Dr. Gunjan Verma, Consultant -Dermatology at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka, New Delhi, shares essential pre- and post-Holi skincare tips to protect your skin and maintain a healthy skin barrier. Before playing Holi, apply a protective layer of coconut oil, petroleum jelly, or a soothing moisturizer to create a barrier against colors especially around the nose, lips, and ears. Stay well hydrated to prevent dryness and skin cracking. After Holi, use a gentle cleanser (avoid scrubs and active ingredients like salicylic or glycolic acid), moisturize generously, and pause serums like retinol, Vitamin C, or niacinamide for 2-3 days to allow skin recovery. Seek medical advice if you notice severe irritation, swelling, or blistering.
