Khushi Kapoor Reveals Her Beauty Secrets
HELLO!: Can you take us through your AM to PM skincare routine?
Khushi Kapoor: “Certainly. My AM routine involves starting my day with a cleanser and then, I use a toner. The last and the most important step is sunscreen. In my PM routine, I start with double cleansing where I use a cleansing oil to remove my waterproof makeup and then use a foam formula to deeply cleanse my skin. Then, I follow it up with a toner, emulsifier and moisturiser. I follow this routine religiously for healthy and glowing skin.”
H!: What is a make-up trend you have been loving?
KK: “One makeup trend I’ve been loving is the soft glam look. I apply a soft, neutral base with a hint of blush and highlighter to add a healthy glow.”
H!: Do you use any simple, home ingredients as masks, toners or cleansers in your skincare routine?
KK: “My favourite is rice water. It has been used for centuries in skincare routines for its hydrating, brightening, and soothing properties.”
H!: What is the one skincare rule you always abide by?
KK: “The one skincare rule I always abide by is consistency. Consistently following a skincare routine, no matter how simple or elaborate, is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. Whether it’s cleansing, moisturising or applying sunscreen, sticking to a routine ensures that my skin receives the care and attention it deserves every day.”
H!: Can you name a few of your favourite products from The Face Shop?
KK: “Off lately, I’m obsessed with the Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam, the Rice and Ceramide Moisturiser and the Therapy Vegan Moisturizing Sun Serum, which is something I am in love with and has quickly become my go-to sunscreen.”
H!: Skincare and diet go hand-in-hand. What are some food items you eat more of, when keeping your skin’s health in mind?
KK: “As someone who values both skincare and maintaining a balanced diet, I believe in enjoying everything in moderation while being mindful of how it impacts my skin’s health. That being said, there are certainly some food items I prioritise for their beneficial effects on my skin, while also being mindful of those that may potentially cause inflammation or breakouts. I make sure to incorporate plenty of fruits and vegetables into my diet, as they are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration, which are essential for promoting healthy skin. Ultimately, my approach to skincare and diet is about balance and making choices that support overall health and well-being, both inside and out.”
