Removing color paint or pigments from skin can be a battle, as it mixes with debris and excess oils, but these tip from Swirlster can work for anyone after these events and even after Holi.

  • Start with an oil and let it sit over areas with color for deeper penetration,

  • Use a foam face wash, as its more gentle on the skin,

  • Use cold water instead of warm water,

  • Exfoliate with a gentle exfoliator,

  • Moisturize and use face serum after its been removed.
