There's something so elusive about beauty secrets. Film stars have talked about them in hushed tones as the reason behind their stunning visages. Grandmothers have passed their tried-and-tested recipes down through generations as the reason behind their healthy hair and radiant skin. The right beauty secrets can do much for your skin and hair and you don't always need a film star or nani to tell you what those are when you've got us. More often than not, the best-kept beauty secrets come from within the kitchen itself. Today we're going to tell you more about them with 6 best remedies for your skin and hair.
