Start by raising the colored areas of your skin with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it can further set the color into your skin.

Use Lukewarm Water

Gently wash the colored areas with a mild soap or cleanser. Avoid scrubbing too harshly, as this can irritate the skin

Use Mild Soap or Cleanser

Apply a generous amount of oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil, to the colored areas of your skin. Massage the oil gently into the skin to help loosen the color particles.

Apply Oil or Moisturizer

Lemon juice has natural bleaching properties that can help lighten Holi color stains.
