Always envied flawless skin of Bollywood’s leading ladies? Well, B-Town’s mast mast girl Raveena Tandon might just help you achieve that. The actor has started her own beauty video blog (vlog), called Beauty Talkies With Ravz, where she gives skincare tips and shares her beauty secrets with her followers — all in videos of under a minute.

Tandon says that the idea of starting a beauty vlog germinated when she was flooded with requests for the same by her fans. “I’m grateful for all the love that fans have sent my way. I saw this as an opportunity to reciprocate their love. I will be addressing skin concerns and questions related to beauty that I get asked often.”

The response to her first two videos has been encouraging, she beams. While one may assume that the actor will recommend high-end skincare products that will burn a hole in their pockets, Tandon asserts that she suggests only “ghar ke nuskhe.” “I share all the home remedies that have been passed on to me. The tips that I suggest are easy to follow. The videos too are conceptualized by me,” she says of the posts that drop online every Wednesday.

Taking advantage of the interactive nature of social media, Tandon adds that she intends to take the project ahead by having interactive sessions with her fans in the near future. “Right now, we post the videos once a week. Depending on the audiences’ response, we will decide the frequency of the segment. Even if I’m travelling or busy with a shoot, I’ll fit this commitment in my schedule.”
