When Priyanka Chopra shared secrets behind glowing skin even in her 40s (Hint: It’s in your kitchen)

Here’s everything you need to know about Priyanka’s DIY skincare secrets—and how to use them responsibly.

1. Scalp treatment for dryness

Priyanka’s scalp mask is perfect for those struggling with dryness or flakes, she said, and it’s packed with nourishing, natural ingredients.

Ingredients

• Full-fat yoghurt
• Honey
• Egg

Method

1. Take a heaping scoop of yoghurt in a bowl.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and crack an egg into the mixture.
3. Mix thoroughly and apply to your scalp.
4. Leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse with baby shampoo or warm water.

According to Priyanka, “The yoghurt hydrates the scalp and cools it down,” leaving your hair feeling refreshed and soft.

2. Body scrub: Exfoliation and hydration in one

This multitasking body scrub exfoliates, moisturises, and heals. Priyanka recommends doing a patch test first to check for any allergies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup gram flour
• A heaping scoop of plain yoghurt
• Milk (whole, skim, or low-fat, depending on your skin type)
• Lemon
• Sandalwood powder
• Turmeric powder

Method

1. Combine gram flour and yoghurt in a bowl.
2. Add a bit of lemon juice, followed by milk and a pinch of sandalwood powder.
3. Finally, mix in turmeric—but use sparingly to avoid staining your skin yellow.
4. Apply the mixture to your body and let it dry.
5. Scrub it off gently to exfoliate and then rinse in the shower.

For oily skin, Priyanka suggests substituting with low-fat or skim milk and no-fat yoghurt.

3. Lip scrub for plump, smooth lips

If your lips are feeling dry or flaky, Priyanka’s DIY lip scrub is here to save the day.

Ingredients

• Sea salt (amount depends on your lip size, Priyanka jokes)
• 100% pure vegetable glycerin
• Rose water

Method

1. Combine the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Gently massage the mixture onto your lips.
3. Wipe off the scrub, and voilà—soft, hydrated lips!

While these DIY remedies are packed with benefits, Dr. Khare cautions against aggressive scrubbing. Sensitive skin types should avoid abrasive ingredients altogether, as they can lead to microscopic trauma and heightened sun sensitivity.

With these simple yet effective treatments, you can channel your inner Bollywood glow—without breaking the bank.
