SKIN CARE
1.      Apply mustard oil on face, neck, ears hands and legs a day before Holi. The colour can be removed from the skin easily by this.

2.      To keep your skin safe from colours, try wearing clothes which cover the whole of your body. This way, less part of your body will come in contact of the colours.

3.      Add a bowl of curd in two tablespoons of lime juice, and apply it on the areas having colour. Then take a bath with normal or lukewarm water. This way the colour will surely go off.

4.      Before taking bath mix gram flour, almond oil, milk cream in rose water. Make it into a thick paste and apply it on the areas having colour. Keep it till the paste is dry. Remove it by rubbing with hands.

5.      After washing off the colour with water, put some rose water in your eye and take rest. The eyes will feel relaxed.

HAIR CARE
1. Do not keep your hair open. Tie it up. Tying up gives lesser area of your head to be exposed to colours giving you an added advantage to have lesser stains to worry about.

2. A night before Holi, take a head massage with a mixture of jojoba and rosemary oil or coconut oil. This will provide your hair with ample nutrition which gets dry the due to the colours.

3. If you have a sensitive scalp skin, also add a few drops of lemon juice to avoid any infection triggered by the chemicals in colours.

4. After playing Holi, wash off your hair with plain water so that most of the colour comes off.  Rinse off your hair immediately with a mild shampoo and conditioner.

5. Take 2 tablespoons olive oil with 4 tablespoons of honey and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix them well and apply this pack to your hair and scalp. Leave it on for half an hour and rinse it off with mild shampoo with warm water. This pack will nourish your hair and scalp.
