Disha Patani has some solid beauty and wellness tips that are simple and effective. But when I found out that she used a homemade cleanser instead of a face wash for most of her childhood and teen life, I was surprised and quite frankly impressed.
Apparently Disha’s mom is the one who made her follow this home remedy and if that’s the reason why her skin is healthy today, everyone needs to know about this celeb’s beauty secret.
What Is Disha Patani’s DIY Beauty Secret?
When asked in an interview about any home remedies that she uses, Disha said, “So until my 12th grade, I used to use besan and dahi, and I didn’t use face wash for my entire childhood. My mother used to tell me ‘use besan and dahi, don’t use chemicals…’ and it actually works. It depends from skin to skin, but it is really good.”
Besan and dahi are both widely used in our culture for the skin and it does actually help decongest the skin without drying it out. While Disha said she uses only this as a face wash, it is still important to moisturise after this DIY cleanser. We’re not sure what moisturiser Disha uses but my pick for my oily skin is the Manish Malhotra Amla Moisturising Gel.
How To Make Disha Patani’s Homemade Face Cleanser?
Disha didn’t reveal any exact measurements to make this cleanser but if you have ever made any DIY beauty recipe at home, you know it is pretty straightforward. Simply mix a spoon of besan and dahi in a bowl, and adjust the consistency by adding more besan or more curd depending on how thick or runny you want the paste. If you have oily skin, you can add more besan and if you have dry skin you can add more curd. Apply the mix to your face and massage it a bit. Rinse it out after 10 minutes and moisturise.
If you use this DIY face cleanser during the day, make sure to apply sunscreen after moisturiser too or simply use an SPF infused moisturiser like the Dermalogica Powerbright Face Moisturiser SPF 50.
Benefits Of Disha Patani’s DIY Face Wash
Both besan and dahi have tons of skincare benefits and they can effectively clean the skin as Disha confirmed.
- Besan is great to absorb excess sebum produced and draw out impurities. It also helps gently exfoliate the skin and maintain pore health.
- Besan is also great to get rid of blackheads and to dry out acne, if you add more of it in the recipe. This is ideal for oily acne prone skin.
- Dahi balances out this DIY recipe and it is super soothing and nourishing on the skin. It helps hydrate the skin while gently exfoliating it and makes the skin feel smooth and supple.
- Dahi is rich in lactic acid and makes the skin glow. You will notice a boost in radiance after using this DIY face cleanser.
