Tips for celebrating safe and healthy Holi

Celebrating Holi in a safe and healthy manner is essential to ensure a joyful experience for everyone involved.

Opt for natural, eco-friendly colors made from flowers, herbs, and vegetables to minimize skin irritation and environmental impact.

Use natural colors

Apply a generous amount of oil or moisturizer on your skin and hair before playing Holi to create a barrier that makes it easier to wash off colors later

Protect your skin

Choose old, comfortable clothes that cover most of your body to minimize direct contact with colors.

Wear protective clothing

Wear sunglasses or goggles to shield your eyes from color powders, which can cause irritation or injury if they get into your eyes.

Protect your eyes

If you or anyone in your group has allergies or sensitivities to certain substances, avoid those colors or substances during the celebrations.

Be mindful of allergies

Be mindful of others' boundaries and consent when applying colors. Not everyone may want to participate, so always ask before applying colors to someone else.

Respect personal boundaries

Choose a safe and open space for playing Holi, away from busy streets or traffic, to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries.

Play in designated areas

By following these tips, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable Holi celebration while prioritizing your health and well-being.
