Holi is all about colors, laughter, and joy !
But once the festivities wind down, you’re often left with stubborn stains on your skin.
Removing Holi colors doesn’t have to mean harsh scrubbing or damaging your skin. The key is to treat your Skin, Hair, and Clothes gently and use natural remedies that cleanse without irritation.
Let’s dive into the Best Ways to Remove Holi color from your face, hair, and clothes while keeping your skin healthy and glowing!
1. Removing Holi Color from Face
- Most Important:
- Avoid scrubbing too hard — it can irritate the skin.
- Use natural, gentle products to avoid reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Correct Steps:
-
- Oil Pre-treatment: Apply coconut oil or olive oil to your face before washing to loosen the color.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild face wash or milk-based cleanser to clean your skin. Avoid soap — it can dry out the skin, making the color stick more.
- Exfoliation: If stains remain, mix gram flour (besan) with curd or rose water and gently scrub.
- Moisturize: Hydrate your skin with aloe vera gel or a good moisturizer after cleansing.
2. Removing Holi Color from Body
- Oil Massage: Apply coconut or almond oil on your body and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to break down the colors.
- Lukewarm Water Rinse: Rinse with lukewarm water (hot water can set the colors).
- Mild Soap: Use a glycerin-based soap or body wash (avoid strong detergents).
- Scrub Naturally: Use a homemade scrub — gram flour (besan) + turmeric + milk works wonders.
- Final Moisturizing: Seal in moisture with a hydrating lotion or aloe vera gel.
3. Removing Holi Color from Clothes
Whether it’s a cherished white kurta or your everyday outfit/ colored clothes, those bright splashes can be tough to get rid of.
Below are some extraordinary tips that can be helpful to you,
