Deepika Padukone's former dietitian, Shweta Shah, advocates for a daily homemade DIY face pack using mulethi (licorice) powder, flaxseed gel, Kasturi turmeric, and rose water for skin tightening, smoothing, dark spot reduction, and hydration. She recommends boiling mulethi and flaxseed gel until jelly-like, then adding turmeric and rose water, freezing the mixture into cubes, and massaging one onto the face daily while bathing. However, experts like Kanikka Malhotra and Dr. Shareefa Chause caution that while these natural ingredients offer potential benefits like hydration and reducing pigmentation, individual skin types vary, and daily use might cause irritation, especially for sensitive skin. They stress the importance of a patch test, limiting use to 3-4 times a week, and proper storage of ingredients like flaxseed gel to prevent spoilage. Both experts strongly advise that true skin health also stems from internal factors like hydration and a balanced diet, and urge individuals to consult a qualified dermatologist for personalized skincare regimens, rather than blindly following social media hacks, to ensure safe and effective results.
