Own flawless skin like Alia Bhatt, learn six simple steps from Brahmastra actor. VIDEO

Alia Bhatt: Actor Alia Bhatt is one among few actors who don’t need heavy makeup to look beautiful. She has flawless skin that is ever glowing. The Brahmastra actor is a skincare enthusiast and in a video, she revealed that she follows a simple 6-step routine that keeps her face glowing all the time.

In the video Alia sat down with her sister Shaheen Bhatt, her Skin Guru, and decoded her skincare routine.  

Both opened up about their respective skin insecurities and the products that they use to overcome them.

Alia said that she has is a combination skin. Sometimes it feels very dry and she gets dry patches. Then there are days when her T-zone gets very oily. The actor added that her skin is also sensitive. “Especially during my pregnancy, my skin was extremely sensitive,” she said.

Alia’s skin insecurities

Talking about her skin insecurities, she said  that acne and dry patches bother her. Her habit of picking her pimples makes it worse, she said.

“My primary skin insecurity has always been acne. Even if I get one odd pimple, it really drives me crazy. And I am one of those people who tend to pick my pimples. I know it is a sin to pick your pimples, but I just can’t help it,” Alia said. She added that using pimple patches has helped her deal with this habit.

“One of the things that really helped me with not picking up my pimples is using a pimple patch. In my opinion, it helps dry out the pimple and bring out whatever (dirt, impurities) is underneath, faster,” Alia added.

Dry patches bother Alia

Another skin issue that bothers Alia is dry patches. “That tends to happen around my mouth and nose. I know I usually do not use an exfoliator, the areas around my nose as well get very dry and clogged up,” she revealed.

Read on to know Alia Bhatt’s skincare routine step-by-step.

Step 1: Cleanser

Alia uses a gentle skin cleanser in the morning to wash her face. “As I wake up, I cleanse. I use a gentle skin cleanser. For me, a gentle skin cleanser always works way better than a foamy, hectic cleanser. I don’t like the feeling when skin gets dry and tight after using a cleanser. That’s a big no-no for me. I have to agree though that earlier I used to feel that my skin was getting cleansed properly when it felt tight. I later realised that it was making my skin really dry. I was losing a lot of water and I was stripping my skin. Then, I switched to a gentle cleanser,” she said.

Step 2: Toning mist

In second step, she uses a toning mist that is loaded with the goodness of ceramides and probiotics. “Ceramides, in general, we love. They are a hero ingredient and building blocks of your skin,” she said. Ceramides help get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. They also help achieve smooth and hydrated skin.

Step 3: Serum

The third step in Alia’s skincare routine is serum. The Highway actor uses a peptide serum. She takes 2-3 pumps of the product and applies it on her face.

Shaheen and Alia talked the benefits of peptides. Like ceramides, “peptides also help with hydration and building the skin barrier. Peptides keep your skin firm and smooth.”

Step 4: Moisturiser

Alia uses a lightweight moisturiser, also comprising ceramides. Unless the actress is in an extremely cold climate, the actress doesn’t use heavy moisturiser.

Step 5: Sunscreen

“More is more.” That’s the mantra Alia swears by when it comes to sunscreen. The actress doesn’t step out without applying sunscreen. She uses a generous amount of light-weight 50 SPF sunscreen.

Shaheen added that using a little amount of sunscreen is not enough. One needs two fingers of sunscreen, she said.

Step 6: Lip balm

For supple and soft lips, Alia Bhatt uses a peptide lip balm. And, that’s all about her 6-step skincare routine.
