How to remove Holi colors from your face?

Reading time- 4 mins 

Who doesn’t like to play Holi? Whether it is children or adults, everybody is enthusiastic about Holi. And why not? The festival of colors brings along with itself so much fun, frolic and sheer joy for everyone. The morning of Holi in India is unlike anywhere else in the world. Kids are the first ones to start; running around wild across the streets with their water balloons and water guns, splashing each other gleefully. The adults and seniors join in a few hours later with a riot of colors. No one goes out and returns without being drenched and smeared with colors. Holi indeed is a festival of sweet Gujiya, colorful Gulal, and unlimited masti for all.         

But for many of us, Holi also denotes a lot of stress and apprehension with regard to the adulterated colors ruining our skin, especially that of the face. It is a dreadful nightmare for most women to spend half the day playing Holi and the other half, scrubbing their faces with all types of soaps and ointments to remove tough color marks until their skin begins to hurt. 

Not to worry! Here are a few tips to make sure that you enjoy the festival of colors to your heart’s content without worrying about what the colors will do to your skin later: 

1)     Oiling- The first and most important step is to apply coconut oil or almond oil on your hair and all the exposed parts of your skin before you even many people may not like to apply of people may not like to apply either coconut or almond oil on their faces. In that case, you can even use a good amount of moisturizer on your face, hands, and other parts of the body (except your hair) to achieve the same result. The oil or the moisturizer forms a protective layer over your skin and blocks stubborn colors from coming in direct contact with it. After the festival is over, you can easily remove the colors by washing them off with a mild cleanser. Tscrubbing or rubbing easily without the need to scrub or rub your skin. 

2)    Cold water rinse- Always use cold water to rinse your skin after playing Holi. Do not use hot or warm water to remove the color from your skin as this will further harden the stain to remove. 

3)    Face pack- In the case of harder stains of color on your face, you can also prepare a face pack with honey and papaya as ingredients. You can apply this pack on your face after mixing it with Multani mitti (fuller’s earth) and leave it for a couple of minutes before washing it off. This will help to make the color patches lighter and fade away faster. 

4)    Home remedies- Another alternative to removing tough color patches from your skin is a besan pack mixed with curd, turmeric, olive oil, and lemon juice. This special face pack will also make your skin radiant and soft besides removing the color patches. 

5)    Moisturize- Sometimes a slight burning or irritating sensation could be felt after removing excessive color from your face and arms, especially in the case of soft and delicate skin types. After a bath, one can use a fair amount of body lotion or moisturizer to help moisturize and comfort your skin from this irritating sensation.Using Gulal which is 100% natural and skin-friendly is important to enjoy this festival safely with your loved ones.

Holi is a colorful Hindu festival, celebrated enthusiastically by showering vibrant colors in the air, smearing gulal on each other faces, kids running around with pichkaris, and various delicacies served on plates. The festival is celebrated all over India in the most unique ways which makes it more joyous for the people and gives us a glimpse of the rich traditions behind its commemoration. Though the way of celebrating the festival is different all over the country but the spirit of playing Holi remains the same.

Here is a glance at 7 different types of Holi Celebrations in India!!

1.       Lathmar Holi, Barsana Village, Uttar Pradesh 

-          Lathmar Holi is celebrated in Barsana where it is believed that Shri Krishna and his friends were beaten with wooden sticks (Lath) by Radha and her friends when they came to throw colors at them. To keep the same spirit alive, even today, the people of barsana smear themselves in the color of Lathmar Holi. 

2.       Phoolon ki Holi, Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh

-          It is believed that in Vrindavan, Shri Krishna plucked blossoming flowers and threw them at Radha to tease her and in return, Radha also did the same. Even today, to keep the doting affection between the almighty alive, the people of Vrindavan celebrate the festival of Holi with a variety of flowers even today.

3.       Hola Mohalla, Punjab 

-          Hola Mohalla, also known as Warrior Holi, is a unique Holi celebration held in Punjab one day after Holi. Nihang Sikhs celebrate the occasion by paying honor to the bravery of Sikh warriors by performing martial arts, stunts, and mock combat. The festival is followed by playing with colors in the evening, and huge Langar (food) is served at the Gurudwara all day. 

4.       Rangpanchami in Maharashtra

-          Rangpanchami, which is celebrated in Maharashtra, is another exquisite way of celebrating Holi. It is believed that Lord Krishna used to steal butter from the neighborhood with his notorious friends, and women would hide them in the highest chambers to keep them safe. Since then, the Krishna Leela tradition has been carried on in Mumbai and many other Maharashtra cities. Pandals are set up to break the pots to commemorate the ritual. The pots are hung at great heights, and large groups of boys form a pyramid, which women prevent from climbing up and reaching the top by spraying colors and water. 

5.       Majul Kuli in Kerala 

-          Holi is celebrated in Kerala as Majul Kuli where people visit the Gosripuram Thiruma’s Konkani temple on the first day. While on the day of Holi, people celebrate the festival with water and turmeric, ditching the colors completely.  

6.       Phalgun Purnima in Bihar

-          In Bihar, Holi is celebrated as Phalgun Purnima to commemorate excellent harvests and the fertility of the land, as well as the mythical story of Prahlad conquering Holika. On the eve of Phalgun Purnima, people light bonfires of cow dung cakes, grains, and Holika tree wood. In addition to smearing colors, people in Bihar celebrate the festival by putting mud. 

7.       Dhulandi Holi in Harayana

-          In the state of Haryana, Dulhandi is a celebration of the tie between Bhabhi (Sister-in-Law) and Devar (Brother-in-law). On this auspicious day, Bhabhis have the advantage of dragging their Devars in mock rage. This connection of pulling pranks and annoying each other is payback for the jokes they perform.
