No treatments please

You can't help but compliment actor Sukriti Khandpal, aka Siddheshwari of the Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo fame on her lustrous curly hair and great skin. And she matter-of-factly tells us, "I don't believe in taking too many treatments." Sukriti shares her skin and hair care regime with CS:



Keep it simple
I follow the routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising on a daily basis. Heavy make-up is an absolute no-no for me. Clinique's skin products are my favourite. I also use an exfoliating lotion once a week to get rid of dead cells. I never leave home without applying sunscreen with SPF 15.

Skin deep
Frankly, I don't believe in going for all these skin treatments as most of the parlours have untrained staff. I prefer to read up on my skin type and select suitable treatments that might work for me. Moreover, the skin has a natural regenerating process that should be allowed to take its own course.u00a0 I do a clean-up once a month and a facial at times. I would suggest using a mixture of milk powder, oats and turmeric paste to get rid of tans. It's like a magic formula.

Right hair
I have curly hair, which can be tough to manage. I use a protein treatment shampoo to keep it well nourished. I oil my hair twice a week with coconut oil. Sometimes, I visit a hair spa to detoxify the scalp or for a herbal massage. As a rule, I avoid conditioning as it makes my hair very brittle. I also don't blow-dry my hair and let it dry naturally. Even if I have to condition my hair I will use a mild conditioner or rub egg whites on my hair.
