Of all the ageless beauties in B-Town, we think we're the most envious of Malaika Arora. The star has taken good care of herself (and her skin), and decades later, we'd say it definitely shows! And after spending countless hours trying to decode the secret to her flawless skin, we've struck gold — the actor took to her 'gram to show us mere mortals her everyday skincare routine, and guess what, it’s super easy to follow too.
Ahead, we've broken down Malaika Arora's skincare routine for you, so read on and take notes.
- Step 01: Start with a facial mist
- Step 02: Move on to under-eye care
- Step 03: Moisturise thoroughly
- Step 04: Massage your face
- Step 05: Dab on a lip balm
Step 01: Start with a facial mist
While she didn't spell this step out, we saw the star misting her face with a facial spray right before she jumped to her routine. Use a hydrating, refreshing mist on your skin post-cleansing, to ensure you have a solid base for the rest of your products. Added bonus? You can use it all through the day too!

Step 02: Move on to under-eye care
Malaika Arora uses her regular moisturiser under her eyes first, before moving onto the rest of her face. She dabs a tiny amount under her eye and uses a jade roller to massage the moisturiser in a soft, brisk manner. Using a jade roller for moisturiser application is supposed to stimulate blood circulation and decrease puffiness while ensuring that the product penetrates the skin well.

Step 03: Moisturise thoroughly
Using the same moisturiser as before, Malaika Arora moisturises her entire face next. But that's not all — she also applies it onto her neck since below-face skincare is important too! She massages the moisturiser onto her face using the jade roller all over.
Step 04: Massage your face
The secret to her firm, taut facial skin? Malaika Arora indulges in facial massages as part of her daily skincare routine! She holds one side of the face firmly, and massages the roller onto it to increase firmness, and repeats the same on the other side.
Step 05: Dab on a lip balm
She finishes her skincare routine with a generous dollop of lip balm, to ensure hydrated, non-chapped lips. Turn to lip balms that have nourishing ingredients (especially since we're nearing the colder months) and you're good to go!
