you cant,

this is one of specific characteristics of lime paint.

You can seal it with "breathable sealer" though - you can get it from adicolor.com

or make your own because it is virtually a casein mixed with a little bit of lime, resulting in casein glue (lime is one of the chemicals that turns casein into glue).

This is how the historic distemper was made

andrea mantegna used this technique (distemper) a lot
