Hina Khan, lead actor in a daily soap, believes that a basic but regular skin care regime is enough for a beautiful skin. She shares her beauty regime with CS:
Diet for derma
I feel that whatever we eat shows on our face. Our face is the mirror of our internal system. I drink lots of water, at least 12 glasses a day. It helps me clear my internal system, which reflects on my skin. I also drink coconut water twice a day. A bowl of curd is also a must. I also have one Amla a day to detoxify my system and retain the glow on my face. I eat both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, but I don't gorge. Moderation is the key to a healthy body. Skin sheen
I visit the spa for a clean up once every 15 days and for a full body treatment once a month. But I don't believe in excessive artificial treatments. I prefer home remedies like applying fresh tomato face pack, as it refreshes my skin. I also put malai on my face some times, and then take steam to soften my skin. A mixture of dried orange rind and milk is great for exfoliating the skin. I also use milk and rosewater on my skin to keep it supple.
A fair care
I wash my face daily in the morning with rose water. In the evenings, I get rid of the make-up with a dose of coconut oil. Thereafter, I wash my face and apply some Lactocalamine lotion. I never wash my face with a soap; instead, I use a face wash. Other than on the sets, I hardly wear any make-up. I use a good moisturiser that suits my skin type. I believe that keeping your skin clean and eating right are the only two fundas that work well.
Mane point
I oil my hair once a week with olive oil. A fortnightly hair spa treatment and a egg-curd home conditioning regime is my routine. I get my hair trimmed every two months to avoid split ends. To add lustre to my hair, I squeeze one lemon in a bucketful of water and wash my hair with it after shampooing.
