Mumtaz Sorcar Actress I firmly believe that physical exercise is the secret to youthfulness. And it is inner happiness that keeps you looking beautiful. I keep my daily skincare simple. When I am not shooting, I let my skin breathe, and keep splashing my face with water to keep it hydrated. I have combination skin, and when it’s not feeling dry, I use a pack of multani mitti, sandalwood and cloves. To remove tan, I use tomatoes and curd. For a natural scrub, I use powdered masoor dal mixed with water.

I am a 23-year-old working woman with a fair complexion and combination skin. Of late, my skin has begun to look alarmingly dull and I have also developed dark circles under my eyes. Could you please suggest something quick and easy to remedy this.

At 23, your skin should be glowing with youth. I would suggest that you not only improve your lifestyle but also chalk out a regular skincare routine to make the magic happen. Drink at least 10 glasses of water daily and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Apart from this, it is important to massage the under eye area with almond oil and apply cold grated cucumber. This will help lighten the area. Also, scrub the skin gently with orange peel powder that has been mixed with lemon juice and oatmeal with enough milk to make a smoothe paste. This should be done on alternate days.
