Anushka Sharma’s skin is always glowing — ever since the release of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. She was 19 when she signed the film. She’s 34 now. It’s been 14 years but that glow has never once abandoned her. I always wondered how. I did some digging and I think I finally discovered the secret behind her round-the-clock radiance. And you best believe I’m spilling the beans on all of Anushka’s skincare tips and tricks.
She Does A Face Massage Before Glamming Up
Anushka believes in the glow-inducing powers of massaging the face before putting on makeup. Her MUA, Sandhya Shekhar, lifts her skin upward for a few seconds. This motion promotes increased blood flow in the face — giving you that instant flushed, plumped-up look. It even drains any fluids in the skin that contribute to the appearance of puffiness and inflammation. You don’t even need a Gua Sha. Your fingers are enough.
Rose Water Is Her Nightly Pick Me Up
Anushka spritzes her face with some rosewater before going to bed. This solution treats inflammation, irritation and redness and hydrates the skin. It cleanses and unclogs the pores to reveal a brighter, healthier complexion. And, obviously, it smells divine. Talk about aromatherapy in a bottle.
She Doesn’t Skip Workout
Anushka is all about fitness — whether in the form of running, Pilates, and exercising at home. Exercising doesn’t just enhance your health. It reduces stress and causes your body to release a feel-good hormone called endorphins. This enhances your well-being as well as the quality of sleep. The better you sleep, the lesser the puffiness and swelling. Not just that. It can promote more circulation in the face. This delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your cells, and we know what that does for the skin. Facial massages FTW!
Coconut Oil Is Her Go-To Natural Moisturiser
She slathers on some Coconut Oil at night to moisturise the skin and reduce the loss of water from the surface. It smoothes over the skin and soothes redness like rosewater. This is because it’s chock-full of anti-bacterial properties that tackle infections effectively. For those of you with dryness, itchiness, and conditions like eczema, this is something you must try.
Bananas Are A Part Of Her Beauty DIYs
Anushka’s DIYs always include over-ripe, mashed-up bananas. This is because bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals that soften and smoothen the skin as well as treat inflammation. It’s also rich in zinc and magnesium. These components have anti-acne properties. You can mix some bananas with honey and yoghurt to moisturise your skin from the inside out.
That’s it. Anushka’s beauty tips are pretty relatable, aren’t they?
