Ways to Remove Holi Colour

According to Google, how to remove Holi color from face?’ is one of the most searched questions during Holi. Though it’s not very surprising.

Homemade Facepacks

The first one’s easy, all you need to do is search through your kitchen cabinet for these things. Besan, yogurt or milk, sweet oil, and rose water. After that, make a paste out of these ingredients and apply it to your face. Now, wait for 10-15 mins and then rinse your skin with water. And sooner than you realize, your face would be clear enough to star in a skincare ad with Virat Kohli or maybe Deepika Padukone.

Cleanser

If you don’t wanna go Do-it-yourself’ or nag your mum to find random ingredients, then just get a decent cleanser. Cleansers, especially with lemon or aloe vera extracts, are highly potent removers of Holi paints from your skin. And if not lemon or aloe vera, even Cetaphil cleansers or antiseptic creams can help too. Whatever’s the most convenient for you after a long and tiring day of lifting bucket loads of water to dump on your bestie.

Glycerin

Last but not least, we’ve got glycerin. In order to remove paint from your skin, first, boil some water and then set it to cool until it’s lukewarm. After that, add a couple of drops of rose water to the warm water along with glycerin. Dip some cotton on the mixture and clean your skin for the best results. Basically, this is the second-best use of glycerin, narrowly beaten by Ekta Kapoor’s daily soaps to make actresses shed enough tears to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
