No matter how good the skin may be before Holi, it is common to have skin rashes, pimples and any kind of infection after playing Holi. Holi colours can affect the skin of any part of the body. There may be many ways to remove the colour from the skin, but like me, your grandmothers may also sing the praises of clay. Can the kind of infection caused by Holi colours be cured with the help of soil?

Multani Mitti, Black Mitti, mud pack etc. are applied on the skin. So let us tell you today what can be the benefit of applying mud on the skin after Holi?

Is it okay to apply clay directly on the skin?

Multani mitti or any mud pack dries out the skin and hence applying mud directly on Holi colours would not be right. Holi colours also cause dryness on the skin and hence it is important that you first apply a moisturizing cream or remove the colours with a cleansing balm. It would also not be right to apply soap directly on the face as it also dries the skin. It is important to take care of one thing whatever product you use first after applying Holi colours suits your skin. Do not use any new product.

First, gently brush off the dried colours with your hands and then use a cleansing balm. After this, apply the mud pack only after washing the face with a mild face wash.

What are the benefits of a mud pack?

When Urvashi Rautela uploaded a photo on Instagram taking a mud bath, then the benefits of a mud pack were also told.

  • Mud pack may be of any kind, but it helps in removing any problem related to the skin.
  • It is also beneficial for the stomach and cools the body when it is hot.
  • Mud pack also removes rashes on the skin.
  • Any type of mud pack can be applied on the whole body, hence it remains economical.

How to apply Multani Mitti on the skin?

You can use Multani Mitti in two ways. Either use it in powder form by adding rose water to it. Mixing milk in Multani mitti can also be applied to the skin.

Apart from this, you can take a full stone of Multani Mitti and apply it like soap. This method is better for people whose skin is very sensitive.

Is it good to apply a multani mitti pack?

Black mitti does not suit everyone and hence you should consult your dermatologist before using it on your skin. Along with this, you also have to pay attention to which type of black mitti is being used. Here we are not talking about garden soil, but we are talking about soil specially used for skin. It is clay in which many vitamins and minerals are mixed.

You can also use any mud pack available in the market, but before using any of these, you must do a patch test on your skin.
