Dark Nail Paint: You can paint your nails with dark nail colour. This will prevent your nails from getting stained, and you can remove them once you are finished playing with colours.

Lukewarm Water: Wash your face with lukewarm water or normal tap water as the first step to remove colours, and apply face wash.

Face Pack: You can DIY an oatmeal face pack. Add three tablespoons of oatmeal with two tablespoons of lemon juice and honey, and add it with water to make a paste. Massage the face pack gently around the skin, and leave it for at least 40 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water or normal tap water.

Lemon: Applying lemon directly on the skin is controversial as it has citric acid. Instead, you can gently rub the lemon while your face pack has dried off and rinse with lukewarm or normal tap water.
