Essential Oils To Soothe Skin And Remove Holi Colour Stains Naturally

Holi is an enjoyable festival, but it often leads to skin irritation and stubborn Holi hand colours. Here are seven essential oils you can use for skin care after holi.

Essential Oils To Soothe Skin

Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is one of the finest natural oils, and also a great color dissolver. By deeply soaking skin with moisture, it also helps patients with wounds to heal faster. Applying warm coconut oil on the skin for 10-15 minutes before gently wiping with a cotton pad makes for an effective cleansing routine after scrubbing with warm water and a gentle soap.

Tea Tree Oil: Tea tree oil helps to cleanse the skin and prevents any rashes or breakouts due to the synthetic Holi colors due to its antibacterial properties. It is best when a few drops are mixed with coconut or almond oil. (Image Source: Canva)
