Celebrate Holi Safely: 12 Tips for a Colorful and Joyful Festival

Avoid using synthetic colors as they may contain harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation and allergies. Instead, opt for natural colors made from flowers, vegetables, or herbs.

Apply a thick layer of coconut oil or any other oil on your skin and hair to avoid damage from the colors. You can also wear full-sleeved clothes to minimize skin exposure.

Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from color and water splashes. It is better to avoid contact lenses while playing Holi.

Drink plenty of water and fluids to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

It is better to avoid alcohol as it can dehydrate your body and affect your judgment.

Play Holi in a safe and controlled environment. Avoid playing on busy roads, near traffic, or in crowded places.

Holi is a festival of joy and love, but make sure you do not harm anyone’s sentiments or boundaries. Respect everyone's choices and personal space.

Use eco-friendly plates, cups, and other products to celebrate Holi. This will help reduce waste and promote sustainability.

Keep a first-aid kit handy to treat any injuries or allergies that may occur during the celebrations.

Do not go overboard with the celebrations. Avoid throwing colors on people who do not want to participate.

Plan your Holi celebrations in advance to avoid any last-minute chaos or confusion.

Dispose of waste responsibly and do not litter the streets. Use dustbins and recycling bins to dispose of waste.
