This post is about giving few hacks that will not only help you feel better in the long run but will also be easy on your pocket.
Furthermore, these hacks are tried and tested by our very own elders (they call it granny hacks for a reason) and the queens and kings of ancient times.
You see the biggest reason for many medieval queens/kings look amazing even when they grew old was not spending millions on beauty products, but conditioning their bodies well with natural ingredients and using Vedic methods to tone each part of their body be it skin or hair.
These hacks were given by Raj Vaidya to look youthful and healthy and they can even be emulated by a common person like you and me in our day to day life.
1. Rose water bath

While the Queens used to use natural rose petals during their bath, one can use rose water on their face to get that glow and repeat it twice a day so as to beat the effect of this pollution. They can also use rose essence in their bathing water to create that same effect.
Rosewater not only helps one get their natural glow back but also makes the skin feel soft and velvety to touch.
