Use
dental caps to save your teeth from any unwanted stains. |
 |
Put
on your worst clothes so that you won't have to take on the hassles
of an immediate washing. |
 |
Rags
like tattered denims and bright shades like black, blue, green, purple
are highly recommended. |
 |
Try
to save yourself off from all possible attacks on the face. In case
your such attempts fail, keep your eyes and lips tightly shut if you
are attacked on your face. |
 |
If
possible avoid going outside your home, atleast for the peak hours
of celebration. The premises of your home ensure that you are safe
from pouncing hooligans, even friends who can be a little rough on
the day. |
 |
When
traveling keep the car windows thoroughly shut, even if you don't
have an AC car. Do not bump into the frenzied group of mob if you
take to streets. Better you cross the road to the sidewalk across.
Or, simply stay at a safe distance. |
 |
Do
not use permanent dyes. If someone has applied it on you, do not rub
the face with soap immediately in order to get rid off it, especially
when it is wet. Instead, use good quality cleansing milk for removal.
It's better than using soap, which will dry up your skin. |
 |
Take
a bath much later after the entire Holi celebration is over. Taking
frequent baths, washing the face again and again, will ruin your skin.
You will also lose hair, for too much soap/shampoo has a drying effect.
|
 |
Avoid
running on jumping on wet floors, so that you don't slip and injure
yourself. Bones are specially vulnerable on this day. |
 |
Avoid
over indulgence in bhang, drinks or food... so that you don't repent
later. |
 |
Do
not drive if you are high on alcohol or bhang. |
 |
Keep
handy pain killers, anti-oxidants, anti-allergic tablets if all the
above tips have been disregarded. |
