We all strive to have skin that looks as flawless as of those on the big screen. But we forget to take into account that being in front of the camera for prolonged hours with many layers of makeup and blasting lights, can be quite tiring for the skin. So to make sure that their skin barrier is nourished and protected, actors have a set skincare routine that they follow religiously.
While the products they use might not work in the same way for us, we can’t be blamed for being inquisitive. Bollywood celebs have always had a very tight hold on us when it comes to influencing our purchasing habits, but it can be tough to differentiate between the actor’s personal favourites and their brand endorsements.
So to put your doubts away, here are 10 skincare products that these actresses swear by-
Alia Bhatt

In a recent YouTube video, Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt expressed their love for the D’you In My Defence Barrier Building Moisturiser. Alia went on to say that she has never been more attached to a skincare product before this one, probably because the sisters stressed upon the importance of ceramides throughout the video. The moisturiser protects the skin barrier with 20x higher ceramide concentration than the industry standard. Additionally, it also reduces inflammation and prevents water loss. In all, the D’you In My Defence is definitely worth the hype and price.

In another skincare video on her YouTube channel, Alia Bhatt used the The Ordinary Caffeine Solution under her eyes. Although she said it is not a necessary step in our skincare routines, there are many benefits to using this product. It is enriched with green tea leaf extracts that works in synergy with high concentrate caffein to work on fat deposits under the eye. It thus helps reduce the appearance of under-eye pigmentation and puffiness.
Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor has an interesting way of mixing in a few drops of the Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops into her sunscreen as the last step in her skincare routine. These anti-pollution drops not only protect the complexion from environmental pollutants but also from the often-overlooked HEV blue light emitting off of our screens. So if you’re looking to combat signs of digital ageing, this is your best bet.

Sonam Kapoor is also a fan of the age-old skincare tip of rubbing some coconut oil onto the lips. She uses Forest Essentials Organic Cold-Pressed Virgin Coconut that provides intense moisture and nourishment that seeps into the surface of the lips easily. Sonam also coats her eyelashes with this coconut oil to keep them healthy. So say goodbye to chapped lips and hello to fuller eyelashes!
Priyanka Chopra

You’ve heard us go on and on about the importance of sunscreen, and rightfully so. A skincare routine without an SPF is rather pointless. Everyone who faces the camera is sure to take care of their skin. Priyanka Chopra’s preference is the Shiseido The Perfect Protector with SPF 50 along with Broad Spectrum Protection. Being enriched with skincare ingredients, this sunscreen helps prevent the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and unevenness.

Priyanka Chopra relies on Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate, a lightweight facial oil that boosts the skin’s radiance. It is enriched with Sunflower & Tamanu Botanical Oil that strengthen the skin’s defences against daily aggressors and provide antioxidant protection. It also contains Ginger Root that refreshes and awakens the skin. No wonder our Desi Girl always looks youthful and radiant.
Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon is another actress that has been very candid about her skincare routines on YouTube. She comes off as an informed and enthusiastic skincare lover. To end both her morning and night skincare routines, she uses the cult favourite Laneige Berry Lip Sleeping Mask. She also pats a little amount on her crow’s feet. This allows the lip sleeping mask to act as an occlusive and prevent water loss.

In her morning skincare routine video, Kriti Sanon mentions that she doesn’t like using two separate products to moisturise and provide sun protection. So, she goes in with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer with SPF 30, an ultra-moisturising product containing Niacinamide and Ceramides. If she’s stepping out of the house, she mixes this with the Colorescience tinted sunscreen for added coverage and protection.

Huda Beauty’s skincare brand is favoured by Kriti Sanon in the form of the Wishful Thirst Trap Juice. With summer just around the corner, it’s so important to make sure your skin gets all the extra hydration it needs. The three types of Hyaluronic Acids in this serum make it a super potent hydrator, and the peptides help in strengthening the skin barrier. Kriti uses this product in her nighttime skincare routine after a Niacinamide toner and before a Retinol serum.
Mira Kapoor

Mira Kapoor is known for her love for skincare rituals, age-old remedies and face massages. Partaking in a daily face massage boosts lymphatic drainage, decreases puffiness and promotes blood circulation. It can also stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer skin. Mira’s story series called Bare Beauty on Instagram explores homegrown brands and home remedies she swears by. In one such story, she mentions using the Pahadi Local Thangi Ka Tel along with the Ohria Ayurveda Kansa Wand for her bare face ritual.
