No YouTube, ela já conta com quase dois milhões de subscritores. No Instagram, são mais de cinco milhões. Mas o que é que faz de Farah Dhukai um caso de sucesso? Os seus truques caseiros de beleza.

Para esta jovem, não existem barreiras para se ter uma pele mais bonita, um cabelo mais nutrido, dentes mais brancos ou uma maquiagem mais cuidada. Na prática, Farah Dhukai prova que os truques de beleza feitos em casa e com ingredientes baratos e simples podem ser a melhor aposta, revela a revista norte-americana Cosmopolitan.

Quer uma prova? Comecemos pelo cabelo e pele que passam de secos e desidratados, para suaves e nutridos… e tudo por conta de um simples frasco de geleia de agave. No vídeo publicado no último dia 20 de março, e que conta já com mais de cinco milhões de visualizações no Instagram, a youtuber mostra como o segredo está muitas vezes na cozinha.

GET RID OF DRY, FRIZZY HAIR + DRY SKIN FOR LESS THAN $6! Im in New York right now and INYC but it has made my skin have random dry patches (and when i first got here.. i was covered in acne which is why i have two left over dots on my cheeks!!) my hair has been feeling dry too! Unfortunately, I couldnt bring my “DIY potions” cuz the way airport customs is set uppppppp..its hard to explain what my random bottles of liquids are... so I ran to whole foods and grabbed a bottle of AGAVE to rescue me! ALL YOU NEED: AGAVE - 1 bottle is $6 and it gives me 3 uses.. so each use is $2!! Apply this to your hair AFTER shampooing (while its wet) and apply onto clean skin. I do TWO layers on the skin Wash it off your face and hair with water only!!NO CLEANSERS!! Water temp is whatever u prefer-not ice cold I have been using agave as a conditioner after shampooing for years (i dont use a regular conditioner..ever) to give my hair moisture and make it soft! I leave a bottle in the shower :) Youll have the softest most hydrated skin EVER and your hair will be the same! I let my hair AIR DRY so you can see JUST HOW SHINY, FRIZZ FREE AND HYDRATED it is WITH NO PRODUCT AND NO STYLING!! WHY THIS WORKS: Agave is a natural humectant… it gives moisture and shine (glow) to hair and skin! The molecules in agave are hydrophilic and attract water = LOCK IN MOISTURE!! The “sugars” in agave bond to your hair and make it stronger, more elastic, shiny and KILL frizz!! anti-aging and is the ultimate healer! If you have porous textured hair then only do this in low humidity! Do this as often as u use conditioner! ps. I always get comments saying “oh if you take care of yourself so much why do u get these problems. The simple and most logical answer: Im a human being :) and im not perfect..nobody is. Change of environment, weather, water, hormones, age, LIFE etc can take a toll on your hair and skin, so its just a matter of adjusting and giving your skin what it needs, WHEN it needs it. I do this to genuinely help - so i hope you find this helpful :) Tag a dry friend in need! and like this vid for more easy diy! Disclaimer: test patch first.

E continuando na cozinha, é lá que Farah Dhukai encontra a solução para um outro ‘drama’ comum em homens e mulheres: os dentes amarelos. Segundo a jovem, basta juntar um pouco de óleo de coco a açafrão, aplicar nos dentes e esperar cinco minutos até retirar o preparado. 

GET WHITE TEETH INSTANTLYYYYYY! You need: 1tbs coconut oil A pinch of turmeric mix the coconut oil and turmeric together to create a paste brush your teeth with the coconut oil and turmeric paste let sit on ur teeth for 5 mins rinse mouth and brush teeth as u normally would with ur regular toothpaste Do this as often as you can and you'll get a brighter, whiter smile!
