Holi Skincare 2025: Dos And Don'ts To Follow For Your Babies

Holi, the festival of colours, brings joy and vibrancy, but for parents of babies, it’s essential to prioritise their little one’s delicate skin. Tapasya Jain Agrawal, Co-Founder of Baby Forest, shares a parent’s guide to ensuring a safe and happy Holi for your baby, rooted in gentle Ayurvedic principles.

Holi Skincare For Babies: The Dos

• Pre-Holi Protection: Apply Baby Forest’s Khilta Mukhra Baby Face Cream before stepping out. This cream, enriched with saffron, almond oil, and sandalwood, forms a protective barrier, shielding your baby’s skin from harsh colours and environmental pollutants.
• Use Natural Colours: Opt for organic, natural colours to minimise the risk of skin irritation.

• Gentle Cleansing Post-Holi: Bathe your baby with lukewarm water and Baby Forest’s Maasoom Mukhra Ayurvedic Kids Face Wash. This gentle cleanser removes colour residues without stripping natural moisture.
• Post-Bath Comfort: Pat your baby’s skin dry and apply Dulaar Pyar Talc-Free Baby Powder to absorb excess moisture and prevent rashes.

Dr Ritu Agarwal, Senior Paediatric Dermatologist at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, advises that after Holi, parents should "opt for a gentle, tear-free cleanser like Maasoom Mukhra, which ensures that the baby’s skin stays clean and irritation-free without drying it out."

Dr Agarwal notes that "Using talc-free powders, like Dulaar Pyar, ensures your baby’s skin remains safe from respiratory concerns while keeping it soft and dry."
