Are you feeling even more stressed out than usual in the run-up to Diwali days and amidst partying? Take out some time for your skin and hair to avoid looking dull as you step out! I believe that stress and tiredness are the first things that reflect on the face and make you look drab.

To relax, especially those tired feet that have been running all around, soak them in a tub of warm water. Then add 2 tsp camphor, 2 tsp sesame seed oil, 2 tsp peppermint oil and 4 tsp Epsom salt. This is a wonderful soothing therapy both for the feet and mind. It will be even better if you throw in a handful of marbles and roll your feet on them. Not only will your feet will feel lighter and rejuvenated but you will also feel them to be softer and much more walk-ready.

For dead and tired-looking skin, take a tsp of salt, a tsp of whole wheat flour, 1 tsp sandalwood powder, 1 tsp of almond powder and milk. Rub this gently into the skin and you will find it glowing.

If you have just discovered an overnight zit that just refuses to vanish, take 1 tsp of fuller’s earth, 2 drops of clove oil and a pinch of camphor. Mix with water to make a smooth paste and apply a thick coating of it overnight. By the next morning, it would either disappear or will dry out completely.

For dull and dry hair, massage 5-6 tsp of mayonnaise into the scalp and hair and leave on for 20 minutes before shampooing off for soft and manageable hair. If you have oily and limp hair, pour half a bottle of beer into the hair after shampooing and see how it comes to life!

Are you sick of those dark circles? Freeze a grated cucumber. Then massage its ice cubes onto the eyes and feel those stinging eyes cool down. This will also help lighten the dark circles.

Many times we neglect our hands and there is no time for a manicure. Take lemon slices and sugar and 1 tsp of any oil. Massage well into the hands until all the sugar granules have melted completely. Wash them to see visibly softer hands.

For chapped lips that have been taking too much lipstick lately, massage them with melted wax and sesame oil. Remove the flakes of wax after it has cooled on the lips. This will help retain the moisture and soften them.

Now that you are ready to look stunning this Diwali, go ahead and try these simple recipes and look beautiful naturally!
