Ever wonder how your favourite celebrity has skin that looks almost perfect, despite the amount of makeup they wear on shoots? One would think, television stars especially, would have skin issues like pigmentation and acne. But despite the heavy makeup they wear sometimes even through the night, their Instagrams prove they look just as gorgeous sans makeup.
Bigg Boss 12 winner and Sasural Simar Ka actress, Dipika Kakar, spilled the beans about how her skin always looks good even without makeup. And the secrets don’t lie on a dermat’s chair but in your house!
How Dipika Kakar Maintains Her Skin
Before starting to go over her favourite remedies, Dipika explains that everything she recommends has been tried-and-tested by her! She has sensitive skin but these home remedies haven’t broken her out, but instead given her tight and supple skin.
Uses Coconut Oil As Makeup Remover
For someone who’s constantly shooting and on-the-go, the actress revealed that she often finds it hard to take out all of her makeup, especially around the eyes. Despite trying multiple removers, one that Dipika swears by and is super affordable, is coconut oil!
Like the rest of us, even Dipika has a bottle of Parachute Advanced at home that she swears by and uses regularly.
Whips Up A DIY Face Scrub
To achieve glowing skin, Dipika adds a spoonful of honey, juice from half a lemon, a spoonful of sugar and some rose water. The actress warns against tugging the skin harshly with the ingredients and delicately massages her face with the scrub. After leaving it on for a few minutes, she washed it off with water.
Uses Essential Oils
Essential oils not only smell divine, but they also help in relaxing the body and getting rid of skin irritations. To save up on time, Dipika mixes two drops of her favourite essential oil with her moisturiser and massages it into her face. The diva loves the frankincense essential oil since it is known for its anti-ageing properties and helps tone her skin.
Dipika’s go-to day cream is the Clarins Multi-Active Day cream.
A good lightweight oil to try out is the Frankinscense Pure Essential Oil by Ras Luxury Oils.
Ices Her Skin
Just like every other star swears by the benefits of skin icing, Dipika does too. Because she has sensitive skin, Dipika doesn’t cover the ice with a cloth but applies it directly to her skin. She also suggests applying ice on cracked lips as it helps moisturise them intensely.
The Oblivion Silicone Ice Roller For Face, Eye and Neck Massage is a great way to ice your face without worrying about your hands freezing off or the melted water dripping on your clothes.
Thanks to Dipika, I’m saving on the big bucks while on the road to glowing skin!
