'I oil my hair with mustard oil' ~ Life Stylzz

Singer Shibani Kashyap tells about her beauty and hair care tips

Skintillating
I like to keep my skin hydrated. Protection from the sun, cleansing of the skin and sleep are very important for a good glowing skin. My daily skin care regime starts with washing my face with cool water first thing in the morning. I leave it for at least half an hour and then rinse it off. Trust me, it works like magic on the skin!

One thing that I always remember to do is to apply a sun block before stepping out of my house. I prefer going in for a no make-up look most of the times and use make-up only during shoots. With the temperatures soaring high I keep spraying rose water on my face to keep my skin fresh.

Before sleeping in the night I use a light scrub to get rid of the grime and a soap free facewash followed by a toner and a light overnight cream to keep my face hydrated through the night. Skin of the entire body needs pampering, so i take a weekly body massage, body scrub and body polish. I believe in loving your skin and taking good care of it.

Mane point
Hair they say is the crowning glory of a woman. A good healthy high protein diet is a must for healthy bouncy shiny hair. In summers I make it a point to wash my hair every alternate day with a good shampoo and conditioner. I avoid getting my hair coloured, highlighted or straightened. I do not like them to get subjected to chemicals. I oil my hair regularly with mustard oil and also use an egg pack with curd and honey. They are natural conditioners and leave the hair deeply conditioned.

Teenage problem
As a teenager just like others I had pimples but not too many as elders in family would suggest to keep the tummy clean. I would stay away from oily food which I still follow and eat curd as its rich in protein plus keeps you hydrated.

Naturally speaking
The best homemade remedy I've come across to remove a tan is to apply curd and lime juice on your face and viola the tan goes instantly. Also multani mitti with a pinch of turmeric, little honey and water/cold milk is excellent as face pack. For my hair, I like hot oil which I keep overnight and if time permits then I put curd with a few drops of lime which removes oil and gives great shine to your hair.

Quick fix
If you have long hair and if they are unmanageable for some reason then just tie them into a ponytail. Keep a bodyspray or perfume handy and a lip gloss for that last minute.

Must-have in the make-up kit

Always keep face wash, moisturiser, compact powder, kaajal and light lipstick or lipgloss.
