" It's the feel - Good factor in my life" - HEMA MALINI

Actress, dancer, editor of the NEW WOMAN this magazine Hema Malini has valuable tips to offer on aromatherapy. Though she was born a classic beauty with a to-die-for glowing skin, she has taken pains to maintain it and has retained the porcelain feel of her fabulous skin with a little help from her beautician Farida. "It was Farida who recommended aromatherapy to me. With her expertise, she knows exactly what to use on my face and since I liked the feel of it and the soothing effect the various oils have had on my skin, I have been hooked on to aromatherapy for some time now. I have an aromatherapy facial once every month. As an actress and dancer, I have to use make-up and am under the arc lights for hours together. I use a special aroma oil to cleanse my skin of make-up after a show and I consider that extremely important. I also have an aromatherapy massage once in a while to ease away my tensions. I have made somewhat of a ritual out of lighting an aroma oil lamp in my room to relax. I play soft music, have dim lighting in the room and let the fragrance from the lamp permeate. It never fails to erase my stress and I feel rejuvenated. I think every woman has a right to look and feel good and she should choose what suits her best. It's definitely worth a try."
