BEAUTY MANTRA
I feel bored to drink water

Read how TV actress Yashashri Masurkar strikes a balance to have clear,glowing skin


The actress who made it big with Rang Badalti Odhani to become the favourite bahu with avid telly watchers divulges how she hates make-up and keeps herself beautiful despite being under the arclights.

SKIN-TILLATING !


Moisturising and cleansing are the most important steps for nice and clean skin! I use a protein face pack,which has been prescribed to me by my doctor.The face pack keeps my skin balanced not too dry and not too oily.Since I feel bored to drink water and often forget to do so,I make it a point to have coconut water at least twice a day.Coconut water is also great for healthy glowing skin!

MANE POINT


Whenever possible,I try to oil my hair.Oiling your hair is the best hair care regime and I try to oil my hair at least twice a week! Shampooing and conditioning your hair every few days is also very crucial.I try to avoid applying hair gel and hair spray because such products can really be harmful for ones hair.On the sets,I use a wig so that the products are applied on the wig rather than on my hair.In this way,I protect my hair from the damaging effects of these products.

WOEFUL TEENS


I used to have loads of pimples on my face.It irritated me to no end.Recently,I had to jump into a pool for a scene which triggered an allergy.I used to try to drink a lot of water and eat healthy things like fruits and vegetables and avoided oily things to combat my skin problems.

NATURALLY SPEAKING


My all time favourite natural remedies are home made packs which work wonders for my skin.I love to use haldi and chandan packs on my skin.However,instead of using readymade powder,I choose to create the pack out of fresh haldi sticks.Chandan keeps your skin cool while haldi is good for the complexion.I also squeeze tomatoes and use the juice on my face as it helps to remove a tan.Lastly,banana packs are also good for giving the skin an extra glow and shine!

QUICK FIX


Though I am using make up everyday due to my profession,I would suggest avoid using make up as much as possible.Make up surely harms ones skin.Also,in case you are using make up,do not leave it on over night.Make sure you clean your skin before going to bed as well as toning and moisturising your skin.And most importantly,eat healthy and drink lots of water!

MUST-HAVE IN THE MAKE-UP KIT

Kajal and sunscreen.
