The malt in the whisky is believed to relax the nerves and stimulate blood circulation that lends that youthful glow.

1. Milk powder and whisky – A smooth paste for a smooth face. Combine a tablespoon each of milk powder and whisky with a dash of honey. Massage your face for 3 minutes. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse off with plain water for glowing skin.
2. Egg and whisky – Your skin needs protein just as much as the rest of you. Whisk an egg with a teaspoon each of milk powder, honey, and a few drops of whisky and fresh lemon juice. Once dry, wash off your face with water. Egg will tighten the skin and reduce lines, and you can also bid goodbye to your acne breakouts.
3. Honey and whisky – Combine 1 teaspoon whisky, 1 teaspoon honey and massage your face for a few minutes. Leave the pack on for 15 to 20 minutes and wash it off with water. The moisturising and anti-bacterial properties of honey will work its magic on your face.
4. Lemon and whisky – That truly is a tangy combination! Lemon being a natural cleansing and bleaching agent helps reduce the oil secretion, scars and blemishes. Apply equal parts of fresh lemon juice, whisky and honey to your face and neck. Rinse it after 15 to 20 minutes for a radiant glow.
5. Green tea and whisky – Green tea is packed with antioxidants that nourish your skin and clear bacteria. Great for zits and pimples. Spare a sip and to it add 1 tablespoon whisky. Apply this on the affected areas and see your zits dry at lightning speed.
6. Water and whisky - The simplest, potent and best blend. To half cup plain water, add around 2 teaspoons whisky. Apply on your face with a cotton ball and leave it on for 5 minutes. Massage your face and rise with plain water for the quickest glow possible.
Extend your timeless love for whisky to your skin with your favourite tipple. These boozy, whisky-infused face packs will boost your complexion with unmatched radiance. Beautiful skin is only a splash of whisky away.
