1. Smart trick

“For that elusive glimmer, crush a few rose petals and add a little sugar, whipped cream and a drop of rose essential oil. Massage onto your face. Keep it on for 10 minutes, then rinse it off.” —Blossom Kochhar, Beauty expert

2. Sweet deal

“For normal skin, boil milk with a dash of saffron and use as a morning cleanser. Make a pack with saffron and a little honey to use on alternate days. Apply, leave on for about 15 minutes and then wash off. Saffron is a skin- lightening agent, as is milk—thanks to the lactic acid in it.” —Dr Jaishree Sharad, Celebrity dermatologist

3. Say goodbye

Say goodbye to shaving as it can hurt the skin if done too often without proper moisturizing. Instead, mix together 1 tbsp iodine 2 per cent and 1 cup baby oil, and rub into the area from where hair needs to be removed. Let it set for five minutes and then gently wipe away with a damp cloth. The hair will start to come off!

5. SECRET POTION

Vodka works as a great brightening agent and has a strong ability to warm up your skin. It also unclogs skin pores, thus leaving you with a smooth and glowing appearance. Just take 1 tbsp of rosemary oil, 1 tsp of lemon juice and 1 tbsp vodka and voila! You have a handy facial mist that helps tighten your pores.

5. Multi-mask
