Holi is just around the corner and who doesn't like to play? Going wild with colors is very much the essence of Holi; While color is the essence of Holi; the skin-friendly natural colors used a decade ago have now been replaced by synthetic colors that may have dangerous effects. With a few preparatory steps, you can protect yourself from synthetic colors and dyes.
1. Cover most parts of your body: Wear long sleeves and full length bottoms to protect your skin. Make sure what you wear during festival covers the maximum of your body so that there will be less of skin exposed. Preferably, wear polo shirts or full- sleeved shirts and old trousers or denims.
