New Delhi : Renowned beauty expert Shahnaz Husain, known for her natural and Ayurvedic approach to skincare, shares her tried-and-tested beauty tips to beat the summer heat. Her home remedies continue to help millions maintain their natural beauty without relying on harsh chemicals. Here are nine of her most effective summer beauty tips to keep your skin glowing and hair healthy.
1. Watermelon Juice for Instant Skin Refreshment
Watermelon juice is a great natural toner and hydrates dry skin. Apply it to your face for 20 minutes and rinse off. For an all-skin-type fruit mask, mix mashed banana, apple, papaya, and orange. Apply on the face for 30 minutes to soothe the skin, remove dead cells, and reduce tanning.
2. Cooling Cucumber Face Mask
Make a cooling paste by mixing cucumber juice with two teaspoons of milk powder and one egg white. Apply it to the face and neck. Once dry, wash it off with water. This mask refreshes the skin and adds softness.
3. Multani Mitti Mask for Oily Skin
Mix one teaspoon of Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth) with rose water to make a paste. Apply to your face and rinse after it dries. It helps absorb excess oil and tightens pores.
4. Tea Bags for Tired Eyes
Used tea bags can work wonders for tired or puffy eyes. Soak them in hot water, squeeze out the excess, cool them, and place over your eyes as an eye pad for quick relief.
5. DIY Spray Conditioner for Dry Hair
Mix a small amount of creamy hair conditioner with water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray lightly over dry hair and comb through to distribute evenly. This adds instant moisture and shine.
6. Soft Eye Makeup for Daytime
For a natural day look, use eye pencils or soft brown/grey eyeshadows to line your eyes. Add just one or two coats of mascara to enhance your eyes without going overboard.
7. Go Light with Lipsticks
Avoid very dark lipstick shades like maroon during the day. Opt for light pastel tones such as pink, light brown, copper, or peach. You can also go for a simple lip gloss for a natural shine.
8. Eat Hydrating Fruits Like Melon, Cucumber, and Watermelon
These water-rich fruits are nature’s way of helping your body stay cool and hydrated during the summer. Regular consumption helps flush out toxins and keeps dehydration at bay.
9. Mint & Lemon Cooling Drink
Boil mint leaves in water, let it cool, and add lemon juice. Enhance the taste with honey, black salt, and a pinch of black pepper or chaat masala. This drink helps digestion and keeps the body cool from within.
