So, on Dia Mirza’s 39th birthday, we’re going to let you in on some skincare tips we picked up from the gorgeous actress. A lover of natural ingredients and sustainable beauty products, her skincare tips are super easy to follow. Read on to find out what they are.
- 1. Follows a simple CTM routine
- 2. Never steps out without sunscreen
- 3. Includes skin-loving superfoods in her diet
- 4. Uses walnut and aloe vera as a natural scrub
- 5. Uses fruit peels for a quick DIY facial
1. Follows a simple CTM routine
The actress follows a simple, consistent and effective skincare routine. She removes her makeup before bed, applies a toner and tops it off with hydrating ingredients like organic coconut or olive oil. She ensures that her skincare products comprise of natural ingredients and are devoid of harmful chemicals.
2. Never steps out without sunscreen
The actress credits her flawless, even-toned complexion to the fact that she NEVER EVER leaves her house without applying a generous amount of sunscreen. She also reapplies it every few hours for maximum sun protection.
3. Includes skin-loving superfoods in her diet
Apart from skincare products, Dia believes in eating right to maintain the health of her skin. She starts her morning by consuming a tablespoon of chia seeds that have been soaked overnight in almond milk. She also adds some pomegranates and blueberries to this mixture. These antioxidant-rich foods are the season behind her youthful and glowing complexion.
4. Uses walnut and aloe vera as a natural scrub
In order to keep your skin clean, radiant and glowing, it is essential to exfoliate your skin regularly — and Dia does so without fail. But instead of using chemical-laden scrubs, she concocts her natural exfoliator by mixing together walnut powder, aloe vera and plum. This helps in sloughing away dead skin cells to reveal gorgeously radiant and flawless skin.
5. Uses fruit peels for a quick DIY facial
A major secret to Dia’s creamy complexion is in her sustainable approach to skincare. The actress believes in zero wastage and therefore aims to utilise every part of the food she is eating by using it as a face pack whenever she can. She rubs the fruit peels on her face and neck, allows it to rest for about 10 minutes and then rinses it off to reveal supple and radiant skin.
