Holi is finally here and its time to indulge in the colorful and cheerful celebration of festivities. So, while you let your hair down along with the burst of water, colour, love and laughter– unfortunately, your skin suffers a lot! Plus, your after-efforts to remove Holi colours with chemical-added scrubs and cleansers can worsen your woes!

But, not to worry as we bring you ten fantastic homemade body scrubs to remove Holi colours while nurturing your skin! Read on.

# Cucumber, Papaya, Gram Flour and Olive Oil Scrub

Mash the pulp of a cucumber and mix it with papaya, gram flour and a few drops of olive oil. Apply it all over your face and body. And then, wash it off to reveal brighter and younger-looking skin. The cucumber will soothe your skin and papaya due to its papain content will help make it brighter. While the cleaning part will be perfectly implemented by gram flour, the added olive oil will nourish and heal any rashes. This homemade scrub is really effective!

# Gram Flour, Rice Flour, Bran, Sandalwood, Poppy Seeds, Olive Oil, Orange Juice and Fresh Cream Scrub

Just take one tbsp gram flour, two tbsp rice flour, two tbsp bran, two tbsp sandalwood powder, one tbsp fresh cream, one tbsp olive oil and two tbsp orange juice along with some poppy seeds and a little turmeric powder. Apply this all over your body and face while having the bath. This moisturising and the exfoliating pack will not only say goodbye to impurities but will also brighten up your tone in a go!

# Homemade Spa

If you have been avoiding that body-spa session for a while, this homemade body-polish (ubtan) comes as a great alternative for that! Reveal the best of your body with this skin-lightening body scrub named ubtan. For making this ubtan, mix one bowl of gram flour, turmeric, sandalwood and orange-peel powder each and dilute it using an adequate amount of milk, olive oil and rosewater. Now, apply and rub against the direction of hair growth to remove all the dirt and hues. Let it sit for 10 minutes and rinse using cold water. No wonder the turmeric and orange extracts will bless you with the fairness you always wanted!

# Urad Dal and Masoor Dal Pack

You do not have to worry in case you are running out of the stuff mentioned above in your kitchen. This simple body scrub can be made using the pulses available all the time in our homes. Just take one tbsp of urad-dal flour, one tbsp red masoor dal flour and soak the mix in lukewarm water. Leave it overnight and before using this mix, add one tbsp calamine powder, two tbsp yoghurt and one tbsp of almond oil in it in morning. The ultra-nourishing properties of the latter ingredients will heal the dryness of your skin because of Holi colours in just a matter of minutes.

# Rice Flour, Fullers Earth, Sandalwood powder and Tomato Pulp Scrub

Add on the festival’s chirpiness by bidding adieu to the Holi colours on your body with a refreshing take. Start with mixing one tbsp rice flour, one tbsp fullers earth, one tbsp sandalwood powder and turn it into a paste by adding tomato pulp and chilled fresh cream. The cool and rejuvenating effect of this ultra-refreshing homemade scrub will not just take away the shades of Holi, but also the drowsiness that you come across after playing hard.
