Priyanka Chopra hands over her mother’s recipe box for a Vogue “Beauty Secrets” segment.

In the Vogue video, the “Quantico” star sits down to walk through three DIY treatments she’s used since childhood — a lip scrub, a body scrub called ubtan, and a yogurt-based hair mask — all built from ingredients she says are sitting in most Indian kitchens already. Chopra credits her mother and grandmother for the recipes, framing the whole demonstration as inherited knowledge rather than a trend she picked up from a spa.

• Chopra mixes sea salt, pure glycerin, and rose water into a lip scrub meant to exfoliate and plump her lips.
• Her ubtan body scrub combines gram flour (besan), yogurt, lemon juice, and milk with sandalwood and turmeric powder, and she warns viewers to go light on the turmeric so it doesn’t stain the skin yellow.
• For dandruff and scalp care, she blends plain yogurt, honey, and a raw egg, leaves it on for 30 minutes, and rinses with warm water and baby shampoo.

The Lip Scrub Breakdown

Chopra starts with what she calls her most requested trick: a sea salt scrub for her lips. She combines sea salt with pure glycerin and rose water, the rose water there specifically to soften the abrasiveness of the salt so it doesn’t tear at the skin. She works the paste directly onto her lips, lets it sit briefly, then wipes it away to reveal what she describes as smoother, pinker lips — a simple mechanical exfoliation rather than anything chemical.

The logic tracks with basic dermatology: salt scrubs slough off dead skin, while glycerin pulls moisture in behind it. It’s the kind of two-ingredient logic that shows up across natural beauty routines, similar to the layered approach covered in 8 Beauty Tips / Hacks I ACTUALLY Swear By!, where cheap, repeatable steps do more than expensive one-off products.

Ubtan: The Body Scrub Passed Down Generations

The centerpiece of the segment is ubtan, a traditional Indian paste Chopra says has been used in her family for generations, often before weddings. Her version starts with a base of gram flour, yogurt, and a few drops of lemon juice, thinned with a splash of milk until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Into that base she works sandalwood powder, which she says cools the skin and helps fight bacteria, and turmeric powder, which she credits with anti-inflammatory and healing properties — with the caveat that too much will leave a visible yellow tint if it isn’t washed off thoroughly.

Use turmeric sparingly, because if you use too much, it stains you yellow.

Chopra also adapts the recipe for different skin types, suggesting low-fat or non-fat yogurt and skim milk for those with oilier skin. She lets the paste dry across her body before rinsing it off, treating it as both an exfoliant and a hydrating mask in one step. Turmeric’s role here lines up with what’s documented more broadly in The Golden Spice: A Closer Look at Turmeric, where the spice’s anti-inflammatory reputation extends well past skincare into diet and joint health.

The Yogurt-and-Egg Hair Mask

For scalp care, Chopra turns to a mask made of plain yogurt, honey, and a raw egg, which she says helps with dandruff and cools the scalp. She applies it directly to the scalp rather than just the hair shaft, leaves it on for 30 minutes, and then washes it out with warm water and baby shampoo — a gentler cleanser meant to avoid stripping the scalp right after a protein-heavy treatment.

It’s a recipe that leans on the same egg-and-yogurt protein logic found in a lot of at-home hair treatments, the kind detailed further in How to Treat Your Thinning Hair Holistically and Thicken it Without Surgery.

Kitchen Ingredients Over Commercial Products

What ties the whole segment together is Chopra’s insistence that none of this requires a beauty counter. Sea salt, gram flour, sandalwood, turmeric, yogurt, honey, and eggs are pantry items, and she frames the routine as something practical rather than aspirational — recipes she says she still uses, not just recites for the camera.

Vogue’s “Beauty Secrets” series has built a whole library of these celebrity walk-throughs, and Chopra’s entry stands out mainly because none of it requires a trip to Sephora — just a spice rack, a carton of yogurt, and 30 minutes to let the mask do its work.
