Exclusive: Swara Bhasker on her obsession with skincare and her favourite products

Swara Bhasker is obsessed with skincare. She loves to splurge on new products and has an extensive routine. If you’re someone who had made a resolution to take care of their skin in 2022, this is a must-read for y’all. 

What is your AM and PM skincare routine?

Oh my God! I'm going broke because I keep buying new products and those anti-ageing serums and creams. I am a huge product freak. I love skincare. This is one reason I never reach the airport before time. If I have any spare time, even five to ten minutes, I end up buying skin care products. Also, international airports are the worst because you don't get those brands in India and I end up spending a lot of money on those products. So I'm indisciplined about everything in life except for removing makeup. I'm very particular about that. I have a ritual and I make it a me-time thing with a cup of tea. I sit in front of the mirror, play music and then cleanse and remove my entire makeup. Then I use wipes followed by my rose water. These are random rituals I have devised for myself. Then I wash my face and moisturise. Finally, before I go to sleep, I apply a little bit of oil. It can be coconut, Aragon oil, lavender, pomegranate seed oil... whatever is available. It's quite elaborate, I know. Luckily I'm single so there's no man who has to feel all the grease on my face. If and when I have a boyfriend I'll change my routine. The mornings aren't as bad. I've hydrated myself so it's the basic CTM (cleanse, tone, moisturise) and sunscreen.

Five beauty essentials you can't live without...

Moisturiser, concealer, powder, kajal and eyeliner. I sometimes don't even use lipsticks and lip balms. 

Three skincare hacks you'd like to share with us...

So an actor told me this, it's not my original ñ but when you want to party and drink, you want to be careful about your skin, so I learnt a trick. It's a drink called ìSkinny Bitchî. It's Vodka or Gin, with lots of lemon and ice. Just fill it up with water. Just drink as much as you can because you're drinking a lot of water so the next morning you wake up, you may be trashed but your skin is radiant. Sleep is very important along with cleansing. Never sleep with makeup on. Eat right. And the biggest thing that no one discusses is your bowel movement. You have to have good bowel movement everyday. It's essential for good skin.
