Sonakshi Sinha's go-to face pack

In a video posted on YouTube by Tweak India's channel on May 17, Sonakshi talked about her skincare routine. The actor revealed that she moisturises her skin and uses a mixture of aloe vera gel with jojoba and almond oil. “It's like a nice kind of paste that I put on my face. Less is more.”

The beauty secret passed on by her mother

Sonakshi revealed in the same interview that her mom has passed on the recipes of ‘many, many organic beauty masks and pastes’. She told the actor to apply ghee or coconut oil on her face when it gets too dry. “She makes this amazing paste with multani mitti. She, in fact, takes a fresh aloe vera leaf and rubs it all over her face as well…but it is very, very good. It really refreshes you,” Sonakshi said in the video.

Benefits of multani mitti and aloe vera

Per dermatologist Dr Aanchal Panth, multani mitti is composed of magnesium aluminium silicate. Clay masks made with multani mitti are beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin as they can absorb excess oil from the skin. It also temporarily shrinks pores. Additionally, it shouldn't be used more than once a week.

Per Healthline, the moisturising effects of aloe can help alleviate dry, itchy skin associated with eczema. It is also great for treating cold sores, has anti-inflammatory properties, and can soothe a sunburn.
