Start by rinsing off the colour with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can strip away natural oils from your skin, leading to dryness and irritation.

Apply coconut oil generously to the areas where you have Holi colours and massage it thoroughly. Coconut oil helps remove colour without causing any harm to your skin. Plus, it moisturises your skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Harsh chemicals or soaps can further dry out your skin and exacerbate irritation. So, opt for mild, pH-balanced cleansers to wash off the remaining colour.

Refrain from scrubbing your skin vigorously to remove the colour, as it can cause itching and irritation. Instead, rely on the combination of lukewarm water, coconut oil, and gentle cleansers to do the job effectively.

You can also use yogurt and besan paste. Apply this pack to the coloured areas and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing off with water. Yogurt helps lighten the colour, while besan acts as a gentle exfoliant.
