There are only a few days left for the festival of colours “Holi” and everyone is so excited about this. But the chemical colours possess various solvents that are harmful to our skin and may cause rashes and allergies. To get rid of these things, learn how to make organic Holi colours at home.
How To Make These Organic Holi Colours?
1. Red
Dry Red colour can be prepared by various methods. You can make it by using dried red hibiscus flowers or China rose flowers. Just grate them into a fine powder and use it as a colour. You can also use red sandalwood in its place.
Red colour can also be prepared by mixing lemon juice with turmeric powder.
