Tejasswi Prakash’s skin glows and it’s all thanks to the effort that goes behind it. The 29-year-old Naagin actress often takes to her YouTube channel to share home remedies, skin secrets, and products she’s currently loving and it’s just the kind of content I consume.
After a shoot day, the Bigg Boss 15 winner took her fans through a DIY facial that she whipped up with ingredients from her kitchen! Perfect for those who want that Tejasswi-like glow on a budget.
Ingredients For Tejasswi’s Facial
- Olive oil – 1 tbsp
- Castor oil – 0.5 tbsp
- Aloe vera gel – 1 tbsp
- Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
- Besan (Gram flour) – 2 tbsps
- Granulated sugar – 1 tsp
- Curd – 1 tbsp
- Coffee – 1 tsp
- A facial steamer
- Facial wipes
The Process
Step 1: Makeup removal
Since Tejasswi had makeup on, she first took it off with the help of oil cleansing. She used a mix of olive and castor oil in a 2:1 ratio and simply applied it to her face with her fingers. Facial wipes were used to wipe the makeup off her skin.
The Organic Castor Oil and Soulflower Olive Oil make for an excellent combination for this step.
Step 2: Scrubbing
To get rid of the oil that could block her pores, the actress mixed together coffee with sugar in some coconut oil.
Teja warns that the procedure is a little messy, as she massages her face with the mixture for a couple of minutes. Again, facial wipes are used to clear up the skin before going to the next step.
The BabyChakra Organic Coconut Oil is a great pick to mix your sugar and coffee in.
Step 3: Face steam
The actress takes a steam to open up her pores and rejuvenate her skin, following which she dabs her face with a tissue to dry it up.
The Dr Trust USA 3-in-1 Nano Ionic Facial Steamer Vaporizer is a great choice at an affordable price.
Step 4: Face mask
Tejasswi mixes together besan (gram flour) and curd into a thick consistency and applies it directly to her skin with her hands. The actress recommends the face pack to help get rid of a tan and transforms dull skin to make it look fresh.
And while most people apply the product with a brush, for Tejasswi, using her hands helps spread the product and apply it on the face more seamlessly. She leaves this on for 10 minutes before washing it off.
Step 5: Moisturiser
Since the first few steps were oil-based, Teja ended her routine by using an oil-free product. She simply slathered aloe vera gel onto her washed skin and neck.
The Organic Aloe Vera Gel With Turmeric Extract is extremely soothing on the skin and the turmeric content also helps in fading away the appearance of scars and blemishes over time.
Tejasswi Skips This Step In Her DIY Facial
While the face massage is also usually part of her routine, Tejasswi skips it in her DIY facial routine. This is because when she used the mix of castor and olive oil to get rid of her makeup in the very first step, she also massaged her skin with the residue before moving on to scrubbing.
If this gives Tejasswi that salon-like glow, I’m sold on it too!
