What's your AM and PM skincare routine?
I'm not the best at this but when I'm shooting, I'm more regular. However, everyday I wake up, wash my face and put on sunscreen without fail. Maybe twice a month I go to bed for an extended period of time. If I'm tired and haven't slept, I'll doze off on my couch and wake up two hours later. But I usually use a nice night cream and a healthy amount of sunscreen in the day.
Five beauty items you can't live without...
I'm actually big on desi nuskhe. It is my absolute dream to either find an organic, sustainable and ethical beauty brand to invest in or start one myself. Things like Kumkumadi tailam are so good. I guess my essentials would be sunscreen, castor oil that works very well on lashes, eyebrows and lips, Multani mitti to get rid of tan, collagen night screen and rose water as a toner. Basically if you have these and a healthy bowel movement and a clean gut, your skin glows.
Three skincare tips you swear by...
Let me tell you some great skincare hacks. This is India and there are a lot of things you get for cheap prices here. You will be surprised how expensive they sell haldi as turmeric formula abroad. I swear by Multani mitti, it softens your skin but the trick is to not leave it for too long. Make a thick paste, apply it and wash it off in 4-5 minutes. It's the best detanning and moisturising thing. Spray rose water later. This is all for normal skin, not oily or dry. Second, if you want a quick fix for the glow and you don't have time, take a papaya and remove the seeds and rub it on your face for a few minutes till it hardens. It gives you the best glow. It works like magic. Finally, apply potato slices on your under eyes. They work like a bleach.
