How to remove Holi colours?
POST HOLI SKINCARE AND HAIR CARE
Holi colours are too difficult to wash off completely from your body. Hence, while taking shower let the colours go off completely with the water first. Once you see the clear water running from your body, then apply your shampoo and body wash. Remember, do not be harsh on your skin by rubbing too hard in order to remove the Holi colour. If some parts of the body are still showing some sign of colours though after being rubbed, leave it. It will go off with the help of body moisturizer and lotion.
For washing off the colours from your face, use lukewarm water. You can add few drops of glycerin in it. Glycerin helps to retain the natural glow and shine of the skin.
Remember, always use mild shampoo and conditioner for cleansing purpose. In addition do not scratch your hair to remove Holi colours. After rinsing your hair properly, you can apply few drops of olive oil on your hair scalp to keep it nourished and moisturized.
