Malaika Arora said, “Just some little hacks that make life way easier, thank me later.”
Malaika is a strong believer in natural beauty remedies.
Malaika Arora has long been a champion of natural skincare and home remedies. With years of experimenting behind her, she’s figured out exactly what works and what doesn’t. Recently, she took to Instagram to share another quick and effective beauty tip, this time for de-puffing the face. In a short video, Malaika revealed that while many people swear by dunking their face in ice water to reduce puffiness, it’s not her go-to method.
“I am here at the shoot today, and just one of the days when I have woken up very swollen. My face is so puffy. A lot of people dunk their face in a bowl of ice. I am sure it really helps. I can’t do it because I have terrible issues with my sinus. If I do that, I will be suffering from the worst sinus and I feel a little claustrophobic. Ice doesn’t work for me. I have tried it,” Malaika Arora said.
So what’s her alternative?
Malaika’s trick is surprisingly simple. “I use two rubber bands, one on each ear,” she explained. “You can do this in the morning while you walk around. I know it looks strange, but try it. Before your makeup, just put them on and keep them for a while. It makes such a huge difference. I guess because the lymph nodes are situated in the neck. Your face looks completely de-puffed. It’s magic. Try it!”
She captioned the video: “Just some little hacks that make life way easier, thank me later!”
The internet quickly took notice. Fans and friends filled the comment section with love and appreciation for Malaika’s easy and relatable skincare tip. Actress Vidya S. Malavade also chimed in, sharing the science behind the hack: “Yup, lymphatic drainage & also because the ears have so many marma points that actually detoxify our organs, including the skin.”
If you struggle with sinus sensitivity or find traditional methods like ice water uncomfortable, Malaika’s rubber band trick might just become your new favourite skincare go-to.
