They had to make do with whatever they had, growing up most of us have used these ‘Daadima Ke Nuske’ at some point.

While spending on high end eye creams may work for some, the process is very slow. Instead to freshen up dull and tired eyes simply use the age old technique of placing slices of cucumber on the eyelids. Cucumbers are super hydrating and also act a cold compress to depuff eyes naturally.

If you have dry and sensitive skin, applying olive oil on your face can prove to be very beneficial. Your cuticles also require external hydration because of the frequent contact with soap and water, treat them to the goodness of olive oil. Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds and dip your fingernails after it has cooled down slightly.
