Prepare your eyes to play Holi
A lot of gulal and colors are used while playing Holi. Which can go from hair to eyes. To protect your eyes from these colours, you can prepare your eyes in advance. For this you have to apply coconut oil or cloud oil around your eyes. This will act as a protective shield for the eyes. Actually, applying oil prevents the color from going directly into the eyes.
Don’t forget to wear glasses or sunglasses
Wearing transparent goggles or sunglasses while playing Holi can be a smart idea. This reduces the risk of color, water and gulal getting into the eyes to a great extent. Besides, your look will also be enhanced by wearing sunglasses.
If color gets into eyes, do not rub
There is no need to panic if color accidentally gets into the eyes. Instead of rubbing the eyes, you have to wash the eyes with clean water. Apart from this, you can also add eye drops recommended by the doctor. If you have any problem then immediately get it checked by a doctor.
Avoid playing Holi by wearing contact lenses
If you wear contact lenses or are thinking of wearing lenses to enhance your look on Holi, then drop this idea. Playing Holi wearing lenses can prove dangerous. Because if color falls on the lenses, it can get stuck in the eyes and can even cause irritation in the eyes. Therefore, it is better that you play Holi wearing glasses only.
Stay away from chemical colors
Cheap and bright colors may contain chemicals, mica or fine glass powder, which harm the eyes. Therefore, always use only herbal or natural colors on Holi. These colors will not only protect the eyes but will also not harm the skin and hair.
