My skincare routine is pretty basic – I use a lot of virgin coconut oil and aloe vera on my skin, Himalaya Neem Face Wash, Kiehl’s Vitamin C Concentrate and organic rose water on hot days. I believe in working on my skin and health from the inside, and for this I make a ‘golden paste’ – a mixture of fresh turmeric, honey, cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper. My son and I have it for all its anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting benefits. That and a shot of lemon first thing in the morning…quite briefly. ,
