It’s Alia Bhatt’s birthday, and I’m celebrating the enchantress for her honesty. She recently collaborated with sister Shaheen Bhatt over skincare and beauty, and I loved everything about their skincare routines — more so the part where Alia loosened up in front of the camera.
The Bhatts talked about their insecurities, alias (sk)insecurities, in one part of the video, and I found myself nodding in agreement with all that they had to say. Though we put actors on a pedestal, the truth is that they’re human. They have the same insecurities and concerns as us — even when it comes to the skin. Here’s what I learned about Alia’s (sk)insecurities and how she deals with them.
She Tends To Pick At Pimples
Alia struggles with acne — while Bhatt doesn’t deal with frequent flare-ups, she does have occasional run-ins with pimples. The actress talked about picking at them despite knowing that that’s a no-no for the skin. She didn’t try to bombard us with fake, superficial advice. Aren’t we all guilty of this? It just drives home the point that actors aren’t perfect. No one is.
But one way she counters this problem is by covering the spot with a patch. Not only does this create a barrier between her and her skin, but it also dries out the pimple effectively and quickly. You can rely on the Gush Beauty Dart It patches to minimise breakouts overnight.
Dry Patches Are Another Area Of Concern
Alia went on to talk about dryness and dry patches on the skin — something she thinks is a result of not exfoliating the face. The areas around her mouth and nose feel dry and clogged up. Anyone with dryness can relate. I know that I do.
That’s why Alia loves her ceramide-infused products so much. Because ceramides quickly moisturise your skin and eliminate dryness in seconds. The In My Defence Moisturiser is her current go-to. The Moms Co. Natural Ceramide Face Toner is an ultra-hydrating formula that relieves itchiness and dryness easily.
I don’t know about you I enjoyed hearing about Alia’s (sk)insecurities as much as I liked following her skincare routine. I felt almost comforted by the end of the video. Didn’t you?
