Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a timeless beauty icon. She took the world by a storm after winning the Miss World pageant in 1994 and is often referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world. Over the years, the actress has aged like fine wine, making us want to copy all her beauty rituals ASAP. In our quest to find out how Aishwarya makes 47 look like 27, we dived deep into her beauty routine and here are five beauty lessons we learnt from the stunner.
- 01. Essential oils for the tresses
- 02. Cucumber pulp to the rescue
- 03. How to do makeup for mature skin
- 04. The right hair colour can be a game-changer
- 05. It’s all about hydration
01. Essential oils for the tresses
Aish loves oiling her tresses with essential oils to keep them nourished and healthy. Her favourite essential oil, though? Avocado! This gentle essential oil is a natural humectant, which means IT can draw moisture from the air and lock it in your tresses. Whether you need to create new champi blends or just need to smooth out flyaways, the avocado essential oil can do all that and more!
02. Cucumber pulp to the rescue
Being a working actress in the public eye can be stressful, and constantly wearing makeup can stress your skin! Ash has a quick, go-to remedy to soothe stressed and inflamed skin — cucumber pulp! The actress likes to reap the cooling benefits of cucumber, blending it and mixing it up in yoghurt to help calm irritated skin. We also suggest re-purposing the water taken out of the pulp for a cool glass of cucumber water to treat your insides as well.
03. How to do makeup for mature skin
Aishwarya’s glam game is always on-point (no surprises there!), and she knows a thing or two about doing makeup for mature skin. The trick is to get your base just right and use fool-proof staples like creamy kohl and matte lippies to enhance your features. The actress loves to draw focus to her mesmerising green eyes, making thick mascaras and bold brow products her best friends.
04. The right hair colour can be a game-changer
Gone are the days when we feared hair colours! Now, hair colours enhance your features and add depth to your hair, and Ash knows how to pick the most flattering ones. The actress plays around with rich tones of burgundy reds and coffee brows to warm up her complexion.
05. It’s all about hydration
Aishwarya confessed in an interview that the beauty mantra she always likes to follow is, “It’s moisture out and moisture in!”. The actress likes to follow a proper routine to maintain the hydration levels in her skin — moisturising and misting at the first of skin tightness. Moisturising helps keep your skin supple and youthful-looking.
