Getting you the secret of their glow from the stars themselves! Whether it is the expensive skincare, or the age-old homemade remedy, the stars reveal what keeps their beauty game on point.

ISHA KOPPIKAR

The popular ‘Khallas Girl’ of the Indian film industry, has decorated her hat with a variety of feathers. The talented actress is a storehouse of prowess and skills in acting, dancing and entertainment. Her upcoming projects include Zee5 and Alt Balaji’s web series ‘Fixerr’, while her most popular movies include ‘Shabri’, ‘Ek Vivaah… Aisa Bhi’, ‘Kyaa Kool Hai Hum’, ‘Krishna Cottage’, ‘Qayamat: City Under Threat’ and many more.

Skincare

The actress believes in a delicate care for her face; so she just splashes a little water on her face on waking up. The star never misses out on the sunscreen. At night, she likes to clean her face with a cleanser followed by a face wash, and a gel-based moisturiser. During summer, she uses a gel-based moisturiser and in winters she resorts to the creamier ones.

Haircare

Koppikar likes to oil her hair twice a week. To avoid the use of excessive products like shampoo and conditioner later, she oils her scalp only minimally avoiding the tips and ends of her hair. With that, an egg mask is her go-to nutrition for her hair.

Fitness & Diet

Koppikar likes to exercise daily, and makes it a point that she exercises at least six days in a week. Her dietary staples include lots of fruits, veggies, at least one raw meal a day but not at night, coconut water, eggs, fish, chickpeas and kidney beans.

PAYAL GHOSH

Starting her career at the young age of 17 in BBC’s 2008 Telefilm ‘Sharpe’s Peril’, the talented actress rose to fame owing to her Telugu movie ‘Pranayam’. The beauty spills her secrets with us.

Skincare

For skincare, the actress uses Clinique moisturiser, sunscreen and night cream. She also uses Forest Essentials Tejasvi Facial Ubtan. She likes to use a turmeric, milk and honey face mask every fortnight. For her lipsticks, bases and other beauty products, she resorts to brands like Gucci, M.A.C, Dior and Bobbi Brown among others.

Haircare

Her haircare secret is boiling coconut oil with nigella seeds, which she stores and uses everytime she oils her hair at least once a week. She prefers using L’Oréal hair mask.

Fitness & Diet

Her healthcare routine involves soaking fenugreek and walnuts in water overnight and drinking the concoction in the morning. She likes to walk for six to eight kilometres for three days in a week. She indulges in strength training and yoga on the other days. She ensures that her diet is rich protein, fibre and carbs.

PANKHURI AWASTHY

After gaining humungous popularity having played the protagonist roles in most popular television shows like ‘MTV Fanaah Season 2’, ‘Razia Sultan’, ‘Suryaputra Karn’, ‘Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka’, and also ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. Her suave looks and talent has earned her a role in the upcoming movie ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’ which also stars Ayushmann Khurrana.

Skincare

She keeps her skincare as simple as possible. With minimal products and healthy eating, one can achieve the healthiest skin possible, she believes.

Haircare

Simple haircare is the best haircare. Oiling is a must for her.

She makes it a point to oil her hair at least once a week and go for regular cuts and trims. The secret is to just try and protect hair from the heating equipments like straighteners and tongs as much as possible. The advice for getting the healthiest possible hair quality is to use serum and be gentle while combing.

Fitness & Diet

The actress usually likes to inculcate one or two forms of physical exercise in her daily routine. It could be just walking, doing yoga or going to the gym — some form of exercise every day is the way to go. Her health secret is treating her body with only the amount it can digest; she doesn’t believe in dieting. Her dietary staples include milk with protein powder in the morning followed by a regular lunch and dinner comprising dal, rice, a vegetable, or chapattis.

ISHITA RAJ SHARMA

The gorgeous actress who ruled our hearts with her roles in ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ franchise and ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ shares her fitness and beauty regime.

Skincare

Owing to her dry skin, Sharma puts a heavy SPF sunscreen, in the morning, to keep her skin well protected. Cetaphil is her choice of moisturiser. To keep her skin protected from the harmful UV rays, she trusts in Ansolar Sunscreen. Christian Dior Lip balm is what keeps her lips hydrated and moisturised throughout the day. To look flawless in make-up, she makes it a point to moisturise her skin as nicely as possible.

Haircare

The actress doesn’t resort to a single type of oil. She mixes five oils, that is, coconut oil, castor oil, mustard oil, olive oil, and almond oil to provide a wholesome nutrition to her hair. Heating up the mixture of oils before application is a must, according to her. For masking the hair, she believes in going natural and uses curd and eggs for a healthy look.

Fitness & Diet

The actress tries to combine functional routine with weight training to maintain her naturally bestowed lean figure. She avoids too much cardio workout. The talented actress is on a gluten-free diet and avoids wheat because of which she has substituted wheat chapatti with ragi chapatti. Besides that she enjoys consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables regularly to keep her body healthy.
