The online universe is filled with videos of stylists' giving tips. And usually, it is women who do all the talking. So, when a colleague mentioned that she recently came across a great homemade face scrub recipe on Tik Tok created by a man, it was necessary to investigate the story behind Malad-based actor Paras Tomar's videos on the short-format mobile video platform.

Filled with DIY beauty home-remedies, he's even called the series "Paras ka nuska" which literally translates to Paras' remedies. The recipes use ingredients you can find in your kitchen, something he says he gets from watching his mother. "She is Himachali, so my roots are "jadi booti". Even my nani had home remedies," he tells us. And just like the ingredients he uses, the online series, too, began quite organically last year. "My skin was always a problem. I had a lot of acne issues," he says.
