The "Citylights" actress, who says she has combination skin which is a little difficult to handle, has shared some beauty and wellness tips for her fans:

* One should wash the face with rose water and immediately after five minutes a base of moisturiser and sunscreen should be applied. Make sure to use a non-greasy sunscreen, the rose water helps one to maintain the freshness of the skin.

* Carry a compact handy with you always as it helps to soak the sweat from your face. Also keep the sponge of the compact clean on a daily basis or use disposable sponges to be bacteria free.

* One can always have as much as water one want but naturally flavoured fruit water keeps one fresh all throughout. Try orange, cucumber and kiwi juice.

* As soon as you're back from outside, put on a face mask as this helps immediate tan reduction for combination skin, Use two masks -- one suitable for oily skin and one for dry skin. Just apply each one to the area that needs it.

* Use make up with oil-absorbing properties. Oil-free make up helps with the dry skin too.
