Deepika Padukone’s pre-Oscar routine involved a little bit of Pilates. The founder of 82°E broke a sweat at 6:30 am alongside her instructor. She’s such a sucker for working out because it not only enhances physical and mental well-being, but it also makes your skin glow from the inside out.
Now I know that it’s not impossible to achieve Deepika’s glow. Here’s everything you need to know about the Pathaan actress’ fitness routine and how it can enhance your glow.
Promotes Blood Flow
Deepika swears by both, yoga and pilates. Both forms of exercise increase blood circulation which in turn boosts the oxygen supply to cells. That’s why your skin has a post-workout glow. They can even promote hair growth because of an increase in blood circulation to the scalp.
Pilates Can Tone Your Body
Pilates can tone the body, reduce sagging, and tighten your muscles. This makes your body look sculpted and fit; further adding to that overall glow as seen on Padukone.
Yoga Can Prevent Breakouts
Yoga eases anxiety and stress. This reduces instances of acne, inflammation, and flare-ups on the skin.
Deepika has always spoken about the importance of one’s mental well-being and how connected it is to the physical appearance. It’s no wonder that yoga is a non-negotiable part of her day.
Pilates Can Give You A Good Night’s Sleep
People who exercise sleep better than those that don’t. A 20-minute Pilates routine can stimulate your body to release feel-good hormones called endorphins. Lack of sleep, on the other hand, can highlight lines, puffiness, dryness, and more.
Facial Yoga Can Tighten & Lift Your Skin
Facial Yoga is a tenet of yoga. It involves stretching and exercising your face in different ways. This can in long term prevent wrinkles and lines, sculpt your jawline, and lift your cheekbones. From air kisses to facial tapping, you might want to give it a try.
As Deepika’s instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala, says, “The secret to her gorgeousness, besides her genes, is also her discipline, dedication, and commitment to maintaining a balanced lifestyle.”
