The constant exposure to sun during Holi can make the skin dry by consuming the moisture and causing tan which results in dull and dry skin. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes prior to playing holi. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 20 and above. If you are suffering from pigmentation, go for a sunscreen with higher SPF. If your skin is usually dry, apply a moisturiser after applying sunscreen. Wear clothes with full sleeves so that your skin is less exposed to the heat and colours.
