Cryotherapy or ice facials
Ice facial is one of the most effective ways to get rid of puffiness under the eye, skin inflammation, and excessive oil from the skin. In addition, cryotherapy also helps promote skin tightening, making you look younger and radiant.

Similarly, Katrina Kaif’s beauty tips also involves this routine. The ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actress also does a 1-minute ice facial every morning to keep her skin tight, fresh, hydrated, and glowing.
Neem face packs
Skin detoxification is a thing among Bollywood actresses, and Anushka Sharma talks more about it. She emphasizes on the use of Indian ingredients and focuses more on neem (a medicinal plant) to detoxify her skin. Her face pack includes neem powder (made of crushed dried neem leaves), yogurt, milk, and rose water.
Neem is known for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. She uses this face pack regularly to get rid of pigmentation, acne, and excessive sebum from the skin.
Fresh cream for lips
When we talk about skincare, we often ignore our lips. As a result, our lips look dry, chapped, and sometimes bleed, making it difficult to apply lipstick or other lip products.
Therefore, you must take care of your lips as much as you do of your overall skin. But how would you do so?
Fresh cream is one of the most preferred ingredients used by Bollywood actresses. Miss Universe Priyanka Chopra swears by this ingredient as she applies fresh cream on her lips and leaves it overnight. This makes her lips plumper and healthy.
Body Massage (at home or the spa)
A stressful mind often gets reflected on our faces, making us look dull and tired. And nothing can beat the effect of a massage to keep the stress away.
Yes, your favorite Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone loves to pamper herself with a massage. She visits a spa often, and if she doesn’t, she prefers to get a body massage at home using coconut oil. So, you can also follow Deepika Padukone’s beauty secrets and look refreshed always.
Almond Oil
Do you envy the glow you see on the Kapoor’s face? We are talking of Kareena, Karishma and other Kapoors who glow flawlessly. Kareena says she has taken this secret from her mother and uses almond oil to massage her skin and scalp.
Almond oil is a rich source of vitamin E, which boosts skin regeneration and reduces other visible signs of aging.
Use aloe vera regularly
Aloe vera is considered a magical ingredient to help get rid of dark spots. This simple ingredient can moisturize your skin, prevent acne, and balance your skin’s pH level. Sonakshi Sinha uses aloe vera regularly to get that glowing skin that she flaunts every time.

Hydration is the key to glowing skin. Most of us skip the most critical part of drinking enough water to feel hydrated. Drinking enough water is the most crucial step in Alia Bhatt’s skincare routine.
Not only Alia but almost every actress talks about the importance of drinking enough water to stay active, young, and slim. So, try to inculcate this habit and drink 3 liters of water every day.
Coconut water
Coconut water is yet another magical ingredient to provide the necessary minerals and hydration to the body. Sonam Kapoor drinks coconut water, and this keeps her active throughout the day.
Ditch the soap
Among various others Shilpa Shetty’s beauty tips, this one is my favorite. She has ditched soaps and face washes altogether, as she believes soaps wash away the essential oils from our skin.
She washes her face with warm water, followed by cold water, to keep it clean while preserving the necessary oils.
Natural exfoliation
Most actresses believe in exfoliating their skin naturally. Although, its a little time taking, but you should opt for natural exfoliators to fetch long term benefits for your skin. For instance, Yami Gautam uses a mixture of finely grounded rice powder and milk to exfoliate her skin.
