Oiling

Take a few drops of olive oil and massage gently over the face and neck. Use coconut oil for other parts of your body. The oil will act as a barrier between skin and the colours and will also help remove the colours easily later.

Protect your Lips, eyes, and ears

The Holi colours can settle around you under eyes, ears, and lips if they are not moisturised well. Therefore, use petroleum jelly in these areas very carefully so that you don’t regret it later. Holi 2022 DIY Natural Colours: Easy Ways to Make Eco-Friendly Rang and Gulal at Home and Keep Toxic Chemicals Far Away From Your Skin and Hair (Watch Videos).

Use a foaming face wash

Moisturise again

As you wash your face a lot many times to remove the colours, the skin might feel a bit dry. Therefore, it is very important to use a moisturiser again once you are done washing your face.
