Okay, I’m a little jealous of Soha Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s vacay pictures right now. Not because of them having a gala time with their fam-jam in the Maldives, but the fact that their skin is GLOWING in every shot! Not a trace of makeup at sight, they’ve gone bare and they’re owning it like fabulous begums. I want that dewy glow and I’m sure you girls want that too! Fret no more, there are ways you can get that clear and radiant skin without getting on the plane. Here’s how!
1. Go On A Makeup Detox
Do you see Kareena or Soha on the beach with a face full of makeup, no, you don’t! Be like Kareena in real life too. Less is more here. Maybe apply a tinted moisturiser or a BB cream for even-toned skin. Let your skin breathe for a change.
2. Be An H2O Person!
Make it a point to start your day by drinking a tall glass of water. You see, water keeps your skin hydrated and flushes toxins away. It also clears your skin out and makes it supple. Make it more fun by adding natural flavours (lemons, cucumbers) and enjoying your very own flavoured water. You can also eat foods that have water in them. Your options include – watermelon, lettuce, bell pepper, cucumber, peaches, strawberries.
3. Master The Art of Exfoliation
Don’t just exfoliate your skin with some random scrub or a peel, go tropical! Pick a product that has vitamin E. This product will help to remove dead skin cells and brighten skin instantly after washing.

4. Slap On A Sheet Mask
Got Netflix and no one to chill with? Befriend the sheet mask, I say! There are many masks out there that focus on skin brightening and hydration. Lemon, tomato, rice, papaya – take your pick.

5. Chilled Eye Patches Are The Besties!
Living in the city can be stressful. So much work and no time to play. Straining your eyes and not getting enough of sleep can get you panda eyes. Sleep well and while you rest, place cooling eye patches or cucumber slices on your face. The cooling causes something known as vasoconstriction. This tightens skin for a temporary period of time and reduces inflammation and dark circles.

6. Don’t Worry, Be Happy!
Nothing in this world is worth your sanity and health. If life gets too stressful, take a break. Surround yourself with people who make you happy and feel confident. Regular power naps are encouraged. Have a life beyond work! If cooking gives you peace of mind, do that! If it’s cleaning or drawing, do that too. Whatever sends you on a happy trip.
