When it came to skincare advice, Bollywood divas like Malaika Arora and Rakul Preet Singh had their fans covered. Rakul spilt the beans on her “khoobsurti ka nuskha” when Malaika’s DIY coffee body scrub drew worldwide attention.

Rakul apologised on her YouTube account for not disclosing her secret sooner, claiming that she had kept her fans up to speed on her skincare routine throughout the lockdown, which lasted until July. Her “favourite” DIY banana face mask was included in a recent organic tip.

Here’s how you make it.

In a bowl, mash one banana and squeeze half a lemon or lime juice on it. This is great for dark spots. Combine the three ingredients with 1 tsp honey. The mask is ready to be applied immediately to the face.

In the comments section, fans gushed about their favourite’s tip. “Rakul mam, this is the secret of your cuteness,” one person wrote, while another added, “After a long time on YouTube and in your usual jovial self…This DIY Banana Skincare is sure going to help many!!” In your next video, how about presenting a DIY Mask for Oily Skin?
