AS a former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra has a variety of beauty hacks up her sleeve.
When it comes to skincare, the actress takes a leaf from her late grandmother’s book.
Priyanka, 41, revealed the budget-friendly buy that she swears by for her anti-aging regime.
In an interview with Today, she explained that a simple kitchen ingredient is the key to having a smooth complexion.
The film star told the outlet that she is “obsessed” with using coconut oil as part of her beauty routine.
Priyanka credited her late grandmother with the affordable hack, revealing the matriarch passed at the age of 94 with “like four wrinkles on her face.”
She said her grandmother only used coconut oil on her face and steered clear of official skincare products.
Coconut oil can be found at most drugstores with Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil being one of the top-rated affordable options.
The product is advertised for use in cooking as well as a variety of beauty techniques.
These include haircare, skincare, and use as a massage oil.
Priyanka pointed out that the product may be too heavy for certain skin types.
However, she still recommended using coconut oil on your body even if you want to avoid adding it to your face.
As well as applying the product on her body, Priyanka revealed that she uses it for head massages.
The experts at the National Library of Medicine carried out a study on coconut oil as an anti-aging remedy.
They broke down the science behind how the ingredient affects the skin.
According to the experts, coconut oil is regarded as an effective “ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics” and “consists of 90–95% saturated triglycerides.”
Triglycerides are a type of fat that creates a “moisturizing effect” one the skin “by smoothing the edges and filling in the gaps between the cells.”

“Thanks to this feature, coconut oil helps to improve skin dryness caused by UVA while supporting the improvement of elasticity as well as reducing wrinkles on the skin,” they explained.
The study, which used a combination of base coconut oil and deer antler stem cell extract, showed the “highest anti-aging effect with noticeable changes in the skin’s surface.”
The experts reported improvements in the “parameters of wrinkles, elasticity, and collagen density.”
