Model turned actor, and now Television anchor and VJ Deepti Gujral isn't exactly a high-maintenance girl and goes by whatever works for her. She says, "In fact, natural remedies and DIY beauty aids have worked wonders for me. Honey is my all-time favourite kitchen beauty aid. I have a sensitive skin that tans easily. Especially these hot summers are very trying for my skin. So, whenever I get a skin tan or sunburn, I simply slather on pure organic honey
all over my skin. It's so cooling and soothing and heals my skin awesomely well. I also use it in several DIY face masks. Besides this, I also use green tea 
as an eye-depuffer. I do have a tendency for puffed eyes, so whenever my eyes get puffy or feel simply tired, I rest with pre-refrigerated green tea bags on them and my eyes feel so relaxed."Though her must-have fashion accessories are bags
, clutches
, watches and high heels, she isn't a brand-conscious person. If she likes something she wouldn't hesitate to buy it even from the streets. "I wear what's comfortable and looks good on me.", she confides.See also:
