For The Skin: Colours in the form of pastes and sprays have toxic compounds in them which can cause itching, skin allergies and rashes. If you happen to experience any of them, then wash the affected area with normal plain water and apply coconut or almond oil over it. However, if you feel that the itchiness is creating a burning sensation, then take some cold milk and a cotton ball. Dab cotton ball into the milk and massage it over the affected area. Also, if any of your wounds get affected while playing Holi, then wash it with normal plain water and clean it. Take a pinch of turmeric, apply it all over your wound and cover it with a clean cloth.

While playing with dry Holi colours, make sure that they don't enter your eyes as they can pose a great danger to the vision
For The Mouth: While playing Holi, the chances of ingesting Holi colours increase. If such a thing happens with you, the very first step should be to gargle with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt.
So if you end up experiencing any of the above, make sure you take immediate steps. Have a happy and safe Holi!
