Tips to remove color after a colorful festival

New Delhi: The festival of Holi is full of joy of colors, but dark colors used during the game can cause problems later. Deep marks are left on the face and hands, which cause discomfort throughout the day. Chemical-rich soaps and scrubs available in the market can harm the skin. In such a situation, grandmothers’ home remedies prove to be most effective. These not only remove color but also nourish the skin. Let us know some easy and effective solutions which are available in your kitchen.

The magic of massage with coconut oil

Use coconut oil first after Holi. Apply oil well on the affected area and massage gently for 10-15 minutes. This oil loosens the complexion and helps in easy removal from the skin. After this wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. This method provides moisture to the skin and prevents it from drying. Many people apply it even before Holi so that the color does not reach deep. With regular use the skin remains soft.

Natural scrub of gram flour and curd

Mixture of gram flour and curd is an old and reliable recipe for removing color. Mix enough curd in two spoons of gram flour to form a thick paste. If you want, you can make it more effective by adding a pinch of turmeric to it. Apply it on face or body and let it dry, then wash it off by massaging in circular motions. Gram flour removes dead cells and curd soothes the skin. This scrub restores the complexion as well as the glow of the skin, without any irritation.

Aloe vera gel and lemon combination

Aloe vera gel is a boon for the skin. Mix a few drops of lemon juice in fresh aloe vera gel and apply. Wash after 10 minutes. The natural bleaching effect of lemon lightens the complexion, while aloe vera reduces irritation and redness. People with sensitive skin should use less lemon. This mixture not only removes color but also keeps the skin hydrated and soothed. With regular use, spots and blemishes also reduce.

Cleansing with milk and honey

Raw milk is very effective in removing the colors of Holi. Wipe the colored area with cotton soaked in milk or make a paste by mixing honey in milk. Keep it for 5-10 minutes, then wash it. Milk is rich in protein which softens the skin and honey provides antibacterial properties. This method is especially good for the face. If there is itching then use milk mixed with a little vinegar, this gives relief to the skin.

Vinegar-Water Easy Spray

Mix white vinegar in lukewarm water and fill it in a spray bottle. Spray on colored areas and rub gently. Vinegar breaks down the complexion and balances the skin. Do not use too much, otherwise dryness may occur. Don’t forget to apply moisturizer afterward. This method works fastest for hands and feet. These things present in the house will make your skin fresh again after Holi.
