During the festive season tika is considered to be a blessing. However, it might not be favourable for your skin, particularly if you are allergic to the red colour used in tika. The good news is that there is a quick and easy way to soothe your allergies!

Make sure you apply a layer of foundation where you expect tika to be applied. This will make sure less of the tika residue affects your skin. The next step is to create a face-wash-like consistency with turmeric and water. Gently apply the turmeric mixture across your tika and wash it off. Not only will the turmeric soothe your skin but the natural remedy will nourish your skin. However, make sure you don’t try this if you have severe medical allergies.
