I was full of holi last night and too tired to take it off. My face was still full with holi when got up so I tried use the Multani Mitthi with Ubtan and put it on face for one hour. The color is still here but is wanishing. Should I wait or try other remedy for holi on face?

Hi Panwar,
If you have already tried one remedy, we advise you to use a soft mixture such as the one mentioned in step two: milk and besan, in order to get rid of holi colour from your face.
Remember to leave it on enough time to remove the powder effectively.
Hope this helps
