Intro
Shreya:
Hello, listeners! Welcome to another episode of Glow Up Chronicles, where we uncover beauty secrets and self-care rituals with some of India's most radiant personalities. I’m your host, Shreya Singh, and today, I am thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented actress who has captivated us in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, and Chhorii. Known for her versatile roles and luminous skin, please join me in welcoming Nushrratt Bharuccha!
Nushrratt:
(Laughs) Thank you, Shreya! That’s quite an introduction. I’m blushing already!
Shreya:
But it’s all true! Nushrratt, every time you step onto the red carpet or post a selfie, your skin is absolutely glowing. So, before we dive into the nitty-gritty, how are you feeling today?
Nushrratt:
I’m great! A bit sleep-deprived from late-night shoots, but nothing a good skincare routine can’t fix.
Segment 1: Unveiling the Glow
Shreya:
Let’s get straight to it—your skin is the talk of the town. Fans and beauty enthusiasts alike are eager to know: what’s your go-to skincare hack that has made a significant difference?
Nushrratt:
(Laughs) Well, I have to give credit to my mom for this one. She’s always been a fan of natural remedies. One of her favorites, which I swear by now, is a DIY exfoliating scrub made from ground sugar mixed with Vitamin E oil. It’s simple but incredibly effective. (pinkvilla.com)
Shreya:
That sounds intriguing! How do you incorporate it into your routine?
Nushrratt:
I use it once or twice a week. The sugar acts as a natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells, while the Vitamin E oil nourishes the skin. It leaves my face feeling soft and rejuvenated. Plus, it’s all-natural, so no harsh chemicals.
Shreya:
That’s fantastic. And it’s something anyone can whip up at home. Have you noticed a significant change since you started using it?
Nushrratt:
Absolutely. Regular exfoliation has improved my skin texture and given it a natural glow. It’s especially helpful after long shoot days when my skin feels tired and dull.
Segment 2: Nushrratt’s Skincare Journey
Shreya:
You’ve been in the industry for over a decade, with a diverse range of roles. How has your skincare routine evolved over the years, especially with the demands of your profession?
Nushrratt:
In the early days, I didn’t pay much attention to skincare. But as I started doing more films and spending long hours under makeup and harsh lights, I realized the importance of a proper routine. Now, I follow a regimen that includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and, of course, my mom’s DIY scrub.
Shreya:
Speaking of long hours, I read that during a particularly grueling shoot, you had to deal with puffy eye bags. How did you manage that?
Nushrratt:
Oh, yes! We were shooting for over 40 nights, and my eyes were showing the strain. My mom came to the rescue with a simple remedy: she would make a tea bag compress. Every morning, she’d give me a warm tea bag to place over my eyes. I’d use it during my commute to set, and it worked wonders in reducing the puffiness. (pinkvilla.com)
Shreya:
That’s such a classic remedy. Moms always know best, don’t they?
Nushrratt:
They really do! And it’s these simple, natural solutions that often work the best.
Segment 3: The Natural Approach
Shreya:
It’s evident that you favor natural remedies. Are there any other home-based skincare hacks you swear by?
Nushrratt:
Definitely. Apart from the sugar scrub and tea bag compress, I use a face pack made from gram flour (besan) mixed with rose water or aloe vera. It’s another one of my mom’s recipes. This pack helps in cleansing and brightening the skin. (pinkvilla.com)
Shreya:
That sounds refreshing. How often do you use it?
Nushrratt:
Once a week. It’s a great way to pamper my skin and give it some extra love.
Shreya:
With such a busy schedule, how do you find time to maintain these routines?
Nushrratt:
It’s all about prioritizing self-care. Even on hectic days, I make sure to set aside some time for my skincare rituals. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good too.
Segment 4: Fitness and Skincare
Shreya:
I’ve also heard that you’re quite the fitness enthusiast. How does your workout routine complement your skincare?
Nushrratt:
Exercise plays a huge role in skin health. I incorporate a mix of cardio, strength training, and yoga into my routine. Sweating it out helps in flushing out toxins, which in turn gives the skin a natural glow. Plus, yoga helps in reducing stress, which is a major culprit for skin issues. (indiatimes.com)
Shreya:
That’s a holistic approach. Do you have any favorite workouts?
Nushrratt:
I enjoy Pilates and yoga the most. They not only keep me fit but also help in maintaining flexibility and mental peace.
Segment 5: Skincare and Self-Image
Shreya:
Being in the public eye, there’s immense pressure to look a certain way. How has your skincare routine impacted your self-image and confidence?
Nushrratt:
It’s been transformative. There was a time when I faced a lot of scrutiny about my appearance. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine gave me a sense of control and boosted my confidence. It became a form of self-care, a way to connect with myself amidst the chaos of the industry.
Shreya:
That’s powerful. It’s more than just skin deep.
Nushrratt:
Exactly. It’s about self-love and acceptance. When you take care of yourself, it reflects not just on your skin but also in your overall demeanor.
Segment 6: Humor in Skincare
Shreya:
On a lighter note, have you ever had any skincare mishaps?
Nushrratt:
(Laughs) Oh, plenty! Once, I tried a DIY mask that had turmeric in it. I didn’t realize how potent it was, and I ended up with a yellow face for two days. I looked like I was auditioning for a role in The Simpsons!
Shreya:
(Laughs) That’s hilarious! Did you have to go out like that?
Nushrratt:
I did! I had meetings lined up and couldn’t cancel. I just owned it and told everyone I was trying out a new look. It was a lesson learned—always do a patch test first!
Segment 7: Final Thoughts
Shreya:
Before we wrap up, any advice for our listeners who are looking to improve their skincare routine?
Nushrratt:
Keep it simple and consistent. You don’t need expensive products; sometimes, the best remedies are in your kitchen. Listen to your skin, stay hydrated, eat well, and most importantly, be patient. Skincare is a journey, not a sprint.
Shreya:
Wise words. Thank you so much, Nushrratt, for sharing your insights and experiences with us. It’s been an absolute pleasure.
Nushrratt:
Thank you, Shreya! I had a great time. And to all the listeners, remember to love the skin you’re in.
Shreya:
That’s a wrap for today’s episode of Glow Up Chronicles. Until next time, keep shining and embracing your natural beauty.
