4. If you are suffering from itchy skin, it may be due to the left out particles of color on the skin that may not be visible to bare eyes. You can apply a combination of glycerine and rosewater to calm down the itchiness. 

5. You also need to protect your nails from the stubborn color stains. Apply a coat of dark nail paint beforehand and after playing with colors, soak your hands in lemon water for 10 minutes.

6. You can also use a mixture of curd, water or milk to get rid of stains on the face. The yogurt will not be harmful and it will help moisturize the face as well.
