Avocado, almond oil for your hair

Actress Minissha Lamba shares her beauty secrets with us

Skin-tillating!
I opt for old school techniques. I try to drink as much water as I can to keep my skin hydrated. I apply a nice home made pack for my skin and tend to stay away from stress to achieve the natural glow for the night!

Mane point
A day before an event I like to smash an avocado, add almond oil, and use it as a hair mask. It looks like guacamole, but it makes your hair beautiful and shiny

Any special care you indulge in before a big evening out?
I prefer not to try anything new on my skin so as to avoid last minute disasters.

Make-up mantra for the day and night
Instead of wearing just one colour of lipstick, the always-inventive me prefers to mix a few shades together to create the perfect hue.

A make-up, skin or hair trick you've learnt from someone or an expert
I've learned a thing or two about perfume application. We apply a fragrance, and then we rip it apart by rubbing our wrists together. The key is to apply it and just let it sit for a while. No rubbing.

Favourite fragrance
Givenchy Absolutely Irresistible it has sandalwood and jasmine. It's very sexy and more grown-up.

Your go-to products
I love the Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil. It's really soft so you don't feel like you're ripping off your skin when you apply it. And Neutrogena Pure and Free Baby Lotion SPF 60.

Must-have in the make-up kit
My Eye pencil, lip balm and a sunblock.

A beauty disaster
Once at an event, my hair didn't go well with the evenings weather and it turned out to be a mess.
