Is your skin looking tired and dull even after your beauty sleep and a healthy meal? It is because there is a lack of skincare. Your serums and creams can tame your skin for some time from the surface, but deep down, the condition is still the same. In such cases, the best thing to do is to believe in the magic of homemade natural products.

As the festive and wedding season is filled with lights, laughter, and good food, this is a crucial time for your skin, which calls for those extra pampering sessions. But, with plenty of skin-friendly, natural things available around us, how do we know which DIY product to trust? In times like these, seek cues and inspiration from Bollywood beauties who are known for their natural, clear skin.


Sharing her secret of clear and glowing skin, Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan shared her favourite homemade face pack, which comes straight from her kitchen. She recently shared an Instagram post where she mentioned how her skin needs some time to breathe post the festive season and how easy it is to create such an environment with just some kitchen supplements.

She wrote, “'My skin needed some TLC after the past few nights of festivities! So I turned to the kitchen for a super easy face pack made up of simple, clean, easy ingredients we all have.” She next revealed that this DIY face pack just takes two minutes to prepare and leaves her skin refreshed and glowing. She even joked and said, “Your husband won't even notice, wink—it really works for a natural cleanse and glow!”
