A chilled glass of flavored milk, relentless dancing to Bollywood songs on loop and different shades of colour in the air- there's so much to love about Holi. And whatbetter way to celebrate it than the traditional way with gulal and splashes of colours. Having said that, we often forget to take care of our skin during this time amidst all the gaiety. The colors do take a toll on your skin, leaving it dry and dehydrated after the long hours of festivities coupled with exposure to the sun.
