Coconut oil is one of the best natural cleansers and moisturizers for the skin. Before playing Holi, applying a layer of coconut oil can create a protective barrier, making color removal easier

A homemade besan (gram flour) and curd paste is a gentle exfoliator that helps remove color stains while nourishing the skin. Mix 2 tablespoons of besan with 1 tablespoon of curd and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the paste to affected areas, let it dry for 10 minutes and gently scrub it off with lukewarm water

Aloe vera is known for its soothing and hydrating properties. It not only helps in removing colors but also reduces irritation and inflammation
