Holi 2025- 5 DIY Ways To Get Rid Of Holi Colors From Skin

Holi, the festival of colors, is a joyful celebration that brings people together through vibrant hues and festive energy. However, the colors used during Holi, especially synthetic ones, can sometimes leave stubborn stains on the skin. These colors may contain harsh chemicals that cause dryness, irritation, or allergic reactions. Even natural colors made from flowers and herbs can linger on the skin if not removed properly.

Proper skin care before and after Holi is essential to prevent damage and ensure easy removal of colors.
