1. Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is the queen of clean, natural beauty. She swears by her classic DIY oatmeal and honey mask. Oatmeal gently removes dead skin and soothes irritation, while honey hydrates and fights bacteria, leaving your skin soft, calm, and glowing. But don’t apply this mask more than once a week, as the exfoliating power can strip your skin of natural oils.

2. Janhvi Kapoor

If dewy skin had a poster girl, it’d be Janhvi Kapoor. And she goes all desi to achieve that dewy glow. She is all about DIY honey face masks but her favourite is the honey and milk cream (malai) mask. Honey soothes, malai brightens, and together, they give you that soft, supple, post-facial kind of skin.

3. Ananya Panday

Ananya’s skin literally glows like she’s been drinking green juice since birth, but her secret weapon is actually haldi. All you need is a little haldi and yoghurt. The detoxifying properties of haldi eliminate impurities from the skin and yoghurt nourishes the face.

4. Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt’s skincare philosophy is all about simplicity. Her favourite exfoliator is a two-ingredient wonder: sugar and honey. Sugar removes dead skin without being harsh, and honey adds a burst of hydration and leaves your skin feeling like butter.

5. Rekha

Rekha is an icon, and what’s even more iconic is her long, luscious hair. Even at 70, her thick, shiny hair still turns heads. But how does she manage to keep them so long and healthy? A rich, nourishing hair pack made with yoghurt, honey, and egg white is all she uses. Yoghurt conditions the scalp, honey locks in shine, and egg white strengthens hair.

6. Tamannaah Bhatia

If there’s something Tamannaah recommends, we know we have to try it. For her, onion juice is the answer to all hair problems. From reducing hairfall to delaying greys and boosting shine, onion juice is a multitasking miracle and boosts blood circulation to the scalp. Yes, it smells a bit strong, but it works. Just apply it to your scalp, let it sit, and rinse – your hair will thank you.

7. Priyanka Chopra

If dandruff is your one true nemesis, you need to try Priyanka Chopra’s DIY hair mask. Mix lemon juice, honey and yoghurt together and apply from roots to tips. Lemon fights dandruff, honey calms itchiness, and yoghurt soothes and conditions the scalp.

8. Yami Gautam

Yami keeps her hair healthy and glossy with a desi staple – ghee! She massages it into her scalp to nourish and strengthen her strands. Ghee is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, which deeply moisturise the scalp, fight dryness, and add a natural shine to your hair.
