The dry Gulaal and well colors used during Holi are not derived from natural sources and are extremely harmful to skin as they contain mica and lead which are collect on the scalp and irritate the skin. Apart from that, exposure to the sun tans the skin and makes it dull after playing. The basic precautions are applying a sunscreen before going out, conditioner on hair, transparent nail varnish on nails etc. After returning, use a cleansing cream or lotion after washing your face with plain water. You can use Sesame seeds and Vegetable oil to make your own cleanser.
