Holi 2024: 5 effective remedies to remove colour from skin

Holi is a vibrant and fun festival which is celebrated with colours. However, removing the colour stains from your skin can be challenging after the Holi celebrations. 

Here are five effective remedies to help remove the Holi colours from your skin. 

Massage with oil

Massage the stained portion of your skin with carrier oils such as coconut, olive and mustard oil to help remove colours. 

Wheat flour

You can make a paste by mixing wheat flour with carrier oils such as coconut or olive oil. Exfoliate your skin using this paste to scrub off stubborn colours.

Besan and milk

Make a homemade pack using besan (gram flour) and milk and use it as a scrub to remove colours. Besan acts as a natural exfoliator and is an effective remedy for removing Holi colours. 

Yoghurt and honey

Make a paste by mixing yoghurt and honey. Yoghurt contains lactic acid, which helps remove colour stains, while honey has nourishing properties that help moisturise the skin.

Lemon juice and sugar

Exfoliate your skin using a natural scrub made from mixing lemon juice with sugar. Lemon helps lighten the colour stains and sugar helps exfoliate the skin.
