If glowing skin is on your vision board but complicated routines are not, it is time to simplify your Skincare. We asked lifestyle creators Aleesha Arora, Shreya Gulati, Akshata Vyas and Hitika Sachdev to share their trusted homemade face masks that deliver real results. These easy Skincare recipes use everyday ingredients and are perfect for brightening, hydrating and balancing your skin without stretching your budget.
Brightening Skincare with Besan and Curd
Aleesha Arora swears by a classic Skincare blend that instantly refreshes dull skin. She mixes one tablespoon of besan, one tablespoon of curd and a tiny pinch of turmeric into a smooth paste. Applied evenly on clean skin and left on for 10 to 12 minutes, this mask should not be allowed to dry completely. Once rinsed off with lukewarm water, it reveals brighter and fresher looking skin.
This Skincare remedy works especially well for tanning and dullness. Used twice a week, it helps maintain a healthy glow while keeping the skin feeling clean and soft.
Rice Based Remedies for Gentle Detox
Shreya Gulati’s Skincare favourite comes straight from her mother’s beauty notebook. She soaks two to three tablespoons of rice overnight and grinds it into a smooth paste the next morning. Applied for about 10 to 15 minutes and washed off before it fully dries, this mask works like a gentle detox.
It helps remove impurities, smoothen texture and restore radiance. Since rice acts as a mild exfoliant, this Skincare treatment is best used once a week to avoid over exfoliation.
Hydrating Skincare with Honey and Turmeric
For days when skin feels tired and lifeless, Akshata Vyas turns to a simple hydrating Skincare mix. One tablespoon of raw honey, one tablespoon of fresh curd and a tiny pinch of turmeric come together to create a nourishing mask. Honey deeply hydrates, curd gently exfoliates thanks to lactic acid and turmeric calms the skin.
Applied for about 10 minutes and rinsed with lukewarm water, this Skincare ritual leaves skin soft and naturally radiant. She recommends using it post shower when pores are slightly open for better absorption.
Oil Balancing Skincare with Multani Mitti
Hitika Sachdev keeps her oily skin in check with traditional Skincare wisdom. She mixes multani mitti with coconut water and applies it twice a week, allowing it to dry completely. Before washing it off, she gently rubs a slice of raw tomato over her skin to tighten pores and loosen the mask.
This Skincare routine leaves the skin feeling matte, balanced and refreshed. With ingredients already sitting in your kitchen, Skincare does not have to be expensive or complicated. Always patch test before trying new treatments and consult a dermatologist if you have sensitive skin.
