Use Coconut Oil To Double Cleanse

You know those people who stay pink with permanent colour for many days after Holi? Well, they've probably never tried out this trick. Use a bit of coconut oil on your skin and gently massage it in. It will not only remove the colour more effectively but also moisturise your skin which has been exposed to harsh chemicals throughout the day.

Use A Gentle Body Scrub

After you oil cleanse use a gentle body scrub to really take out the colour. Use it all over your legs and arms but be sure to not use something as harsh as an apricot scrub. An exfoliating soap or a shower gel with scrub beads works perfectly well.

The DIY Route

If you like going the natural way then make a paste of besan (chickpea flour) and milk or apply a generous layer of multani mitti all over. It will help get rid of all the colour and spray paint on your skin and even get that glow going.

Rinse Your Hair Off With Plain Water First

Before going in with your shampoo and conditioner, rinse off your hair with plain water first. This will get rid of all the dry colour that's accumulated on your scalp and stop you from using more product than needed. Thoroughly remove all the gulaal from your hair and then move on to your poo treatement.

Try A DIY Hair Mask

Hair damage during Holi is eminent so to minimise the effects just make a hair pack by soaking a few methi (fenugreek) seeds in four tbsps of curd. Apply this pack and wash off your hair with a cleansing shampoo after half an hour. You could even apply a mixture of honey and olive oil to deep condition your strands.

 

Have a fun Holi, guys! Be safe, stay healthy, and have a blast.
