How to Make Natural Colours That Are Skin-Friendly & Safe

There’s a certain charm in preparing Holi colours the old-fashioned way. Turmeric stains your fingertips golden, beetroot blushes into soft pink, and gram flour turns into clouds of sunlit powder. These are colours with memory, gentle on the skin and kinder to the earth.
