counterview on holi colours should be used
Answers
Explanation:
This year stay safe and say no to harmful chemicals that wreak havoc on your skin and hair.
NATURAL HOLI COLOURS
They prevent a chemical invasion Lead oxide, copper sulphate, aluminium bromide and mercury sulphite are all harmful chemicals present in synthetic holi colours. A recent study by Industrial Toxicology Research Centre in Lucknow has revealed that the popular scarlet colour used during holi contains a dye called Rhodamine B which has been banned in many countries for use in cosmetics and food colouring due to its carcinogenic properties. In contrast, natural colours derive their hue from turmeric (yellow), plant leaves (green), annatto (orange) and black carrots (pink).
THEY PROTECT THE HAIR AND SKIN
Acute nail fold inflammation, aggravation of pre-existing dermatoses, abrasion, discoloration, and contact dermatitis are just some of the skin disorders caused by synthetic holi colours. They also cause hair problems like extreme hair loss and dryness. Natural colours make sure you have nothing to worry about on holi except getting drenched head to toe in colour.

THEY ARE EASY ON YOUR CLOTHES
On holi, it is common practice to wear old clothes which have reached their expiry date. This is because of the harsh colours of holi which are difficult if not impossible to wash off. If you don't want to retire an outfit forever then natural colours are the easy solution. These colours are as easy on clothes as they are on the skin and disappear after a simple washing.
THEY ARE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
Synthetic colours have a negative impact on air, water, soil, biodiversity and the environment as a whole. On the other hand natural colours are eco-friendly which means you can splash around as much colour as you want without suffering any sort of (green) guilt.
Answer:
Explanation:the annual holiday-festival of colours, Holi, is less than a week away, and as usual, we can expect the traditional promises to be made of renewed friendship, forgiveness for sins committed in the recent past, and a fun-filled day of frolic marked by a splashing of coloured powder, water and balloons, and a chanting "Holi Hai".
Traditionally, spring flowers, berries, spices and other plants were used for making coloured gulal and wet colours from flowers like hibiscus etc.
There is no doubt that Holi is one of the most popular festivals of India, but there are dangers associated with the event too, such as the blatant use of inexpensive, artificial and bright colours made with the help of chemical solvents and toxic agents like lead oxide, mercury sulphite and copper sulphate etc.

These can damage eyes, skin and lungs, says beauty expert Shahnaz Husain.
But again, all of us love this carnival of colours, and according to Husain, can enjoy the festival with the use of organic and home-made colours. These are available in markets, but cost more.
It is essential to take appropriate safety steps to prevent your skin or hair from getting damaged.
The dry "gulal" and the wet colours of today are not derived from natural sources. They contain chemicals, shiny particles of mica and even lead, which not only irritates the skin, but collects on the scalp too.

Since Holi is played outdoors, exposure to the sun can have a detrimental effect on the skin. Apart from harmful UV radiation, sun-exposure makes the skin dry by causing depletion of moisture and also tans the skin. The skin can become dry and dull after playing Holi.
What, therefore, are the preventives?
Husain advises one and all to apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out in the sun.
"Use a sunscreen of SPF 20 and above. If your skin is prone to pigmented patches, select a higher SPF. Most sunscreens have built-in moisturisers. If your skin is very dry, first apply the sunscreen, wait for a few minutes and then apply a moisturiser. Apply moisturising lotion or cream on the arms and exposed areas," she says.

For the hair, apply leave-on conditioner or hair serum.
"This protects the hair from the effects of sun exposure and dryness caused by colours. Hair cream containing sunscreen is also available. Take very little, spread on both palms and massage light into the hair, or smooth palms over the hair. Or, apply pure coconut oil and massage it lightly into the hair. This also provides protection against colours," Husain said.

Apply transparent nail varnish on the nails.
When it comes to removal of colours, rinse the face with plenty of plain water and then use a cleansing cream or lotion. Then wipe off with moist cotton wool. Remember to cleanse the area around the eyes too, using a light touch. A cleansing gel helps to dissolve the colours and facilitates their removal.
"To make your own cleanser, take half a cup of cold milk and add one teaspoon of any vegetable oil, like "til," olive or sunflower oil. Mix well. Dip cotton wool into this mixture and use it to cleanse the skin. Sesame seed (til) oil can be used to remove colours from the body, massaging it on the skin. This not only helps to remove the colours, but gives added protection to the skin. Sesame seed (til) oil actually helps to counteract sun-damage," the beauty expert said.
The day after Holi, mix two tablespoons of honey with half-a-cup of curd. Add a pinch of turmeric. Apply this on the face, neck and arms. Leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with water. This helps to remove the tan and soften the skin.
Over the next few days, give your hair nourishment by mixing one tablespoon of pure coconut oil with one teaspoon of castor oil.
"Heat and apply on the hair. Then dip a towel in hot water, squeeze out the water and wrap the hot towel around the head, like a turban. Keep it on for five minutes. Repeat the hot towel wrap three to four times. This helps the hair and scalp absorb the oil better. Wash your hair after an hour," Husain concludes.
