Tips to Remove Stubborn Holi Colours

Holi is one festival that everyone both loves and hate. You can’t wait to get awashed in different colours of Holi. And after Holi we hate it when our skin gets all those rashes, after trying to take the colour off. Well, before you again resolve to not play Holi the next year, here are some simple life hacks that you can use to easily get rid of those stubborn Holi colours.

Prepare in Advance

Before you step out to play Holi, make sure that you do proper oiling in your hair and body.  That will form a protective layer between the colours and your skin, making it easy to remove them afterwards.

Use a lot of water

While we advise you to play Holi with dry colours for environmental reasons, it also helps in saving water for later when you are actually going to need it. While taking bath, you must rinse your hair in water for a good 10 minutes before you go for a shampoo.

For Your Hair

Before washing your hair, you must apply egg yolk on your scalp for 30 minutes before shampooing your hair. If you are not comfortable with egg, mix fenugreek (methi) with curd and apply the mixture on your scalp. That would help you take off the colours from your scalp and hair.

For Your Face

While you are removing those colours from your face, you can mix calamine with honey and rosewater. This would prevent any irritation and rashes from the low-quality colours that someone could accidentally spill on you. For people with oily skin, a pack of Multani Mitti can help ease your troubles.

For Your Body

Honey, mixed with a mashed tomato or papaya acts as a perfect scrub when applied with Multani Mitti. You can also use curd, gram flour (besan), turmeric (haldi), olive oil and lemon to make a paste and then apply that on coloured parts of your body.
If you want best treatment for your skin and hair, go for facials or facial bleach only a week after Holi.
