Shreya:
Hello, beautiful listeners! Welcome to another episode of Glow Up Diaries, where we uncover the beauty secrets of your favorite stars. I'm your host, Shreya Singh, and today, we have a special treat. Joining us is the stunning and talented actress who has graced our screens in films like Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, Housefull 4, and Pagalpanti. She's not just known for her acting prowess but also for her flawless, glowing skin. Please welcome the ever-charming Kriti Kharbanda!
Kriti:
(Laughs) Thank you, Shreya! That's quite an introduction. I'm blushing already.
Shreya:
Well, it's all true! Kriti, your skin is the envy of many. Before we dive into your skincare secrets, how have you been?
Kriti:
I've been great! Keeping busy with projects and, of course, my skincare routine. (Laughs) It's become a ritual I genuinely enjoy.
Segment 1: The Morning Ritual
Shreya:
Let's start with your mornings. Is there a specific ritual you follow to kickstart your day?
Kriti:
Absolutely. Every morning, the first thing I do is splash my face with cold water. It wakes me up instantly and gives my skin a fresh start. It's a simple habit, but it makes a world of difference. (filmfare.com)
Shreya:
Cold water? That's interesting. Does it have any specific benefits for the skin?
Kriti:
Yes, it helps in tightening the pores and reducing any puffiness. Plus, it's incredibly refreshing. Sometimes, I even use ice cubes wrapped in a cloth to massage my face. It boosts circulation and gives that natural glow. (koimoi.com)
Shreya:
So, no fancy products, just good old cold water and ice?
Kriti:
Exactly! Sometimes, the simplest methods are the most effective.
Segment 2: DIY Face Packs
Shreya:
I've heard you're a fan of homemade face packs. Could you share some of your favorites?
Kriti:
Oh, I love DIY face packs! One of my go-to recipes is a mix of multani mitti (fuller's earth), milk, and rose water. It's easy to make and works wonders for my skin. (filmfare.com)
Shreya:
That sounds lovely. What benefits does this pack offer?
Kriti:
Multani mitti helps in deep cleansing and controlling oil, milk provides hydration, and rose water soothes the skin. Together, they leave my skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Shreya:
Do you have any other favorite ingredients for face packs?
Kriti:
Yes, I often use a mix of malai (cream) and besan (gram flour). Malai acts as a natural moisturizer, while besan exfoliates the skin. It's a great combination for a radiant glow. (hindustantimes.com)
Segment 3: Hydration and Diet
Shreya:
Skincare isn't just about what we apply externally. How do you ensure your skin stays healthy from the inside?
Kriti:
Hydration is key. I make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. It keeps my skin hydrated and flushes out toxins. (onlymyhealth.com)
Shreya:
What about your diet? Do you follow any specific regimen for your skin?
Kriti:
I believe in a balanced diet. I avoid wheat and rice, replacing them with nachni (millet) and jowar (sorghum) rotis. I also include butter and ghee in my meals, as they're great for the skin. (hindustantimes.com)
Shreya:
Butter and ghee? That's unexpected.
Kriti:
(Laughs) I know, right? But they provide essential fats that keep the skin supple and healthy.
Segment 4: Fitness and Mental Well-being
Shreya:
Fitness plays a role in skin health too. What's your workout routine like?
Kriti:
I mix it up to keep things interesting. Lately, I've been obsessed with Pilates. It not only tones the body but also improves posture and flexibility. (indianexpress.com)
Shreya:
Pilates sounds fun. How often do you practice it?
Kriti:
I try to do it at least three times a week. It's become a part of my lifestyle, not just a workout.
Shreya:
Mental health is crucial for overall well-being. How do you ensure you stay mentally fit?
Kriti:
I practice yoga, meditation, and even pole dancing. These activities help me stay centered and reduce stress, which, in turn, reflects on my skin. (newsbytesapp.com)
Shreya:
Pole dancing? That's intriguing.
Kriti:
Yes, it's not just a fitness routine but also a form of meditation for me. It requires focus and strength, and it's incredibly empowering. (en.wikipedia.org)
Segment 5: The Emotional Impact of Skincare
Shreya:
Skincare is often seen as a physical routine, but does it have an emotional impact on you?
Kriti:
Absolutely. Taking time for my skincare routine is like a form of self-care. It's a moment in the day where I focus solely on myself, and it helps me feel grounded.
Shreya:
Has this routine influenced your personal and social life?
Kriti:
Yes, it has. When my skin feels good, I feel more confident. It affects how I interact with people and how I carry myself. It's not about vanity; it's about feeling comfortable in my own skin.
Shreya:
That's beautifully said. Any advice for our listeners who might be struggling with their skincare?
Kriti:
Consistency is key. Find a routine that works for you and stick to it. And remember, it's not about perfection; it's about taking care of yourself and feeling good.
Segment 6: Quick Tips and Tricks
Shreya:
Before we wrap up, could you share some quick skincare tips for our listeners?
Kriti:
Of course! Always remove your makeup before bed, no matter how tired you are. Use sunscreen daily, even if you're indoors. And don't forget to moisturize your lips; they need care too. (koimoi.com)
Shreya:
Simple yet effective. Kriti, it's been an absolute pleasure having you on the show. Thank you for sharing your insights and secrets with us.
Kriti:
Thank you, Shreya! I had a great time. Remember, skincare is self-care. Take time for yourself, and your skin will thank you.
Shreya:
Wise words to end on. Thank you, Kriti. And to our listeners, stay tuned for more episodes of Glow Up Diaries. Until next time, keep glowing!
