Organic skin and hair care products are prepared with simple ingredients like sugar, rice flour, neem powder, lemon juice, turmeric and green tea.
Holi is everything about fun - rain dance, color-smeared faces, tempting foods, full moon house parties, the family obligations, the plethora of colors and the out-of-controlness. But the hardest task is to scrub the colors off your skin and the unavoidable hangover that follows. These days, Holi is as much a festival of chemicals as it is of colors. The increase in the usage of industrial chemicals in reds, blues, greens, yellows, oranges and pinks has added risk to our life.
‘Holi colors can cause severe damages to skin and hair. It causes acne and other allergies to the skin while hair becomes frizzy and it breaks-off.’
Now that you have played Holi and are back at home, time has come to scrub those synthetic gulal, dyes and sprays off your skin, but washing them with another set of chemicals seems so risky.Since, going organic is quite the trend these days, here's a go-to solution - hand-crafted skincare line. People are usually particular about organic food and lifestyle, but what they often neglect is what they are slathering on their faces.
According to Anupama Malhotra, founder of Vert, a 100 percent natural, hand-crafted skincare line, there is a gamut of simple ingredients like sugar, rice flour, neem powder, lemon juice, turmeric and green tea can do wonders for us.
"We have a pre and we have a post skincare for Holi. You have to use oils on the skin before playing. And post that you have to cleanse it nicely. We have cream cleanser, scrubs, face masks and creme to suit you. We also have hair care products," she added.
On being asked whether or not her products can heal, she said, "Yes, they do. There was one customer who had an ice bite. She had gone to all the dermatologists, but was in stress and pain with peeling skin and red hand. After a week of using our body butter, her trouble was sorted."

Anupama further said that they endeavor to keep their packaging simple, minimal and recyclable to avoid it clogging up dustbins and the environment.
