March 12, 2020 (IANSlife) Spring is here and we just celebrated Holi, the festival of colours. Colours and chemicals are part and parcel of the festivities. Here are some top tricks to freshen up your regime and rejuvenate your skin by following these simple steps:

**Cleansing and Exfoliation
The most important self-care step post Holi is cleansing and exfoliating. It is imperative to
exfoliate after cleansing to rid your skin of the stubborn colours. This helps to cleanse and purify skin to effectively remove dirt, oil and environmental pollutants while helping to improve skin clarity.

**Toner
Toners are an essential step to follow in any skincare routine as it helps remove any residue left behind after cleansing. It also balances the skin’s pH level prepping it for the next step.
Using a Calendula-based herbal toner to gently cleanse and soothe normal to oily skin types without the use of alcohol or harsh synthetic drying agents. 

**Face-mask to the rescue!
Face Masks are crucial for your skin to regain moisture and nourishment after deep cleansing.
A turmeric mask provides a radiation from within to refresh and revitalize skin. 

**Moisturising
Moisturizing is a crucial step to keep skin supple and maintain elasticity. Make sure to lather
your skin with moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day. Ultra Facial
Cream. With its unique lightweight texture, the cream provides lasting 24-hour hydration for
softer, smoother, and visibly healthier-looking skin.

**Scrub scrub scrub
Enrich your bath or shower post the Holi madness with the indulgence of an exfoliating body
scrub. Wet skin in the bath and apply body scrub gently massaging in upward circular motions. Rinse or remove with a washcloth for further exfoliation.

**Do not forget Sunscreen
 Ensure to lather your skin with ample sunscreen while visiting to those Holi parties to keep your skin hydrated and protected from environmental aggressors throughout the day. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, regardless of the level of water resistance and SPF rating.

and replenish. Apply daily to help strengthen dry, depleted hair over time

by chemical colors and physical stresses.
