HOW TO GET LUSTROUS LOCKS AND FLAWLESS SKIN
written by ROMA SINGH on Feb 19, 2016
When people mention any health problem or come to me for advice, I naturally dole out remedies that originate in the kitchen! A friend going for a trek to Ladakh was sharing his fears of facing the biting cold of -30º C recently and instead of mentioning the obvious solution such as buying insulated thermal wear, I advised him to carry a bottle of rum and dried fruits! Well, that’s me—I might sound like a grandma but sometimes, going back to the basics just seems like the best idea. Curious to know what other kitchen products I swear by for my skin and hair? Read on…
Bye, bye blackheads
Mix a small amount of a very mild toothpaste and sea salt and apply on the affected areas. Leave the paste on for exactly five minutes and then wash it off. Be prepared to be stunned with the smoothest, glowing skin you’ve ever had. Trust me on this one!
Why it’s good for you: Toothpaste works wonders on acne and blemished skin since it contains baking soda, menthol as well as hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, toothpaste is also an anti-bacterial agent—a blessing for acne prone skin. Sea salt contains magnesium, which has the power to prevent fluid retention from your skin and helps in keeping it soft and supple. Together these two make for the perfect recipe for beautiful skin!

I usually leave this on for at least 15 minutes, and then pop in for a shower and rinse it off. Follow it up with your general shampoo and conditioner routine. Tames even the roughest of hair!
