                                                                   After Holi easy clean up tips

Step 1 - Clean up with traditional trick

So now that you’ve enjoyed your party, it’s time for a thorough clean-up. Start with rubbing lukewarm oil on the skin to take the excess colour off. Wipe the oil with a towel or cotton cloth. Keep repeating until the colour comes off (be gentle throughout the process).

Step 2 - Use herbal Ubtan to clean the skin.

Apply herbal ubtan on the face and body. Let it sit for 5 minutes. While it’s still wet, wipe the ubtan off with hands or a towel.

Step 3 – Take shower

Take bath with lukewarm water not with hot water as hot water can strip the moisture off the skin and makes it look more dehydrated.

 Step 4 -  Hair cleaning 

Now, it’s time to clean the hair. Remove the scarf or cap gently and untie your hair. Shed the excessive colour off with your fingertips and rinse with lukewarm water. Apply herbal shampoos and conditioners to protect the hair from further damage and give their shine and bounce back. Do not comb after taking a shower and apply a serum or tonic for frizz-free healthy hair.

 Step 5 - Use Q- tip

Use Q-tip dipped in moisturizer or oil to clean the ears (externally), navel, inner corner of eyes, or any other hard-to-reach part.

 Step 6 – Protection after bath

Apply heavy-duty moisturizer on your body for hydration and protection purposes. Let your hair dry naturally. And wear cotton clothes.
