Viral Skincare Hacks for a Radiant, Glowing Complexion
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, some trends quickly fade while others gain viral status for a reason—they actually work. Social media influencers, beauty bloggers, and skincare enthusiasts have collectively popularized a few timeless, effective skincare hacks that not only enhance your routine but also address issues like dullness, uneven tone, and dryness. These methods, ranging from traditional remedies to modern techniques, are budget-friendly, natural, and easy to try at home. If you're looking for effortless ways to achieve radiant skin, here are five viral skincare trends that have consistently shown remarkable results. 1. Ice Facials: The Cool Secret to Instant Glow Ice facials are a tried-and-true technique to awaken tired skin. The cold temperature constricts blood vessels, reduces puffiness, and gives an immediate lifting effect. Simply glide an ice cube over freshly cleansed skin for a few minutes each morning. For added benefits, freeze rose water or green tea instead of plain water. 2. Honey Hydrator: Nature's Moisture Magnet Raw honey is more than just a sweet treat—it's a skincare superhero. Acting as a natural humectant, honey draws moisture into the skin, keeping it soft and supple. It's also antibacterial, making it a great choice for acne-prone skin. To use, apply a thin layer of raw honey to your face, leave it on for 15–20 minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water. 3. Double Cleansing: The Korean Skincare Staple Originating from Korean beauty routines, double cleansing ensures your skin is thoroughly clean without being stripped of its natural oils. Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to remove impurities and refresh the skin. Use this two-step method at night for the best results. 4. DIY Oatmeal Mask: Soothe and Exfoliate Naturally Oatmeal is a powerhouse ingredient for those with sensitive or irritated skin. Rich in anti-inflammatory properties, it gently exfoliates while providing hydration. Create your own mask by blending ground oats with a spoonful of honey. Apply the mixture to your face, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off to reveal soft, soothed skin. 5. Rice Water Toner: Brighten and Tighten Rice water, a well-kept Asian beauty secret, is loaded with amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It helps to brighten the complexion, reduce the appearance of pores, and improve skin texture. To prepare, soak a half-cup of rice in water for 30 minutes, strain the liquid, and refrigerate it. Use this homemade toner once a day after cleansing for glowing results. These five viral skincare trends have stood out for their effectiveness and simplicity. Whether you're battling dull skin, dryness, or uneven texture, integrating these natural remedies into your skincare routine can help you achieve a radiant, glowing complexion—without the need for expensive products or complex routines.

Woman spends ₹1 crore on 4 nose jobs after botched rhinoplasty surgery to make a ‘nice nose better'
Often, when people are bored, they binge-watch a series, play games online, read a book, or meet up with their friends. But have you ever been so bored that you ended up getting a rhinoplasty surgery? That's exactly what happened to an influencer, Violet, who ended up getting five rhinoplasties and spent over $120k (approximately ₹1,03,15,561) on her face. Also Read | Woman with nose job shows she has to tape her nose whenever she flies: Plastic surgeon explains why In an interview with People, Violet admitted that she never really needed to fix her nose. But as a creative individual, she felt that she could improve it because she gets bored easily. For the uninitiated, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose. Violet told People that she first got a nose job done in 2020, when she was 27 years old, as she wanted to 'tweak it just a little bit'. She started looking for surgeons in Southern California, and found an Asian rhinoplasty specialist, as she thought Asian people have different anatomy. Soon, she booked the surgery after finding no red flags online or during her consultation. Even the procedure was fine, and she seemed to be okay during the recovery process. However, soon the problems started cropping up. 'It [My nose] looked very, very big and projected. Eventually, that over-projection, that height started to deviate, so my entire nose started to slant to the right side.' According to People, the botched rhinoplasty led Violet back to the surgeon, who agreed to a revision. However, during the surgery to fix her nose, she was 'left with more deformities'. She revealed that the columella [the skin between the nostrils] started to retract, and her nostrils were exposed, and she still had a deviated nose. This led to the third surgery, where her surgeon felt 'confident' that he could fix her nose. However, that was not the case. Though he did straighten the nose, the 'retraction deformities' were not fixed. 'At that point, I was just really, really depressed, and I kind of just gave up on the surgeon because I thought, 'There's no way. I gave you three tries, and I still have a deformed nose when my starting point was already really nice,' she said. 'It's not that hard to make a nice nose better.' Finally, she ditched her surgeon and tried looking for another one in Miami. She felt confident in this second surgeon and booked another appointment. But it seems, fourth time wasn't the charm. She ended up having a fifth surgery, too, because the damage and scarring from the first three surgeries were severe. 'The surgeon added some fascia to hide the graft because my skin was very thin in that area. Now here I am with a normal-looking nose after five surgeries. It took five tries, unfortunately, when it should have only taken one,' she told People.
