Holi is all fun and games until the colours refuse to come off! If you’re worried about stepping out the next day with stubborn stains, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here are dermatologist-approved tips to remove Holi colours safely and effectively from your face, skin, and hair.
1️⃣ Rinse Immediately with Lukewarm Water
As soon as possible, rinse off the colours with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. This helps prevent the colours from setting deep into your skin.
2️⃣ Use Oil-Based Cleansers or Natural Oils
🛢️ Coconut, olive, or almond oil work wonders in breaking down tough colour pigments. Massage a few drops onto your skin and gently wipe off with a cotton pad before rinsing.
3️⃣ Natural Exfoliation for the Skin
For stubborn stains, use a homemade scrub:
✔️ Gram flour + yogurt/milk (gentle exfoliation)
✔️ Sugar + oil (for body stains)
Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent skin irritation.
4️⃣ Micellar Water for the Face
For delicate facial skin, micellar water is your best friend! It gently dissolves colours while keeping your skin hydrated.
5️⃣ Hair Care: Deep Conditioning is Key!
🌿 Apply a nourishing hair mask or deep conditioner to remove colours from your hair while keeping it soft and damage-free.
💡 If your hair feels dry, follow up with a coconut oil massage before shampooing again.
❌ What to Avoid
🚫 Harsh scrubbing—this can damage your skin barrier.
🚫 Hot water—it opens pores and makes the colours settle deeper.
🚫 Delaying removal—act fast before colours become stubborn stains.
Holi should be all about fun—so celebrate without worry and follow these easy steps for a quick clean-up! 🎨💦
