Deepika’s Skincare Regime
Deepika Padukone is one of those lucky women who is blessed with flawless skin. She looks beautiful in every lip shade, eyeliner or eyeshadow she uses. And well, there’s no denying the fact that no one looks as pretty as DP without makeup. The actress is very particular about her skin. She makes sure to keep herself hydrated in order to keep glowing. Wondering what her skincare regime is? Read on to find out and take notes!
Aqua Therapy
Deepika Padukone strongly believes that outer glow comes when your body is healthy from the inside. She makes sure to keep herself hydrated with generous water intake. She drinks about 2-4 liters of water per day!
Beauty Sleep
Despite her hectic shooting schedule, Deepika tries her best to get good sleep. This not only keeps her fresh but also prevents her under eyes from getting dark circles or looking puffy. She sleeps for about 6-8 hours every day.
Spas
Deepika absolutely loves to go for spas, especially Thai and the pressure point massages. She indulges in frequent massages and steam treatments to rejuvenate her body and relax her mind. Her favourite Spa centers are Myrah in Mumbai, Banyan Tree in Phuket in Thailand.
CTM Technique For Her Face
The most common advice that we all receive is to remove our makeup before hitting the sack. While most of us are too lazy to do it, Deepika would never make that mistake. She follows the CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising) technique daily before sleeping. She removes her makeup with a removal cream, uses toner to remove the oil from her pores, keep them tight and maintain the pH balance of her skin and at last, she applies skin hydrating cream to moisturise her face and protect it from dryness.
No Regular Facials
You wouldn’t find Deepika sitting in a parlour and getting regular facials done too often. She’s more of a deep cleansing and nourishing person. She makes sure to take care of her skin herself so that she doesn’t have to go for facial treatments too often.

Minimal Makeup
We have seen Deepika sport a natural look wherever she can and look absolutely stunning. Her mother once told her that less is more and she swears by that piece of advice. She prefers to stay sans makeup if she’s not shooting. She ensures to use an SPF moisturizer and a lip balm every time she steps out as she doesn’t believe in using too many products at one time.
Loofah For Scrubbing
Soaps are coarse and disturb the smoothness of your skin. One should ideally use shower gel or body wash for silky smooth skin. Looks like Deepika follows this advice diligently. The actress prefers to use body scrubs as opposed to regular soaps.
Weekly Hair Massages
When you’re shooting day in and day out, your hair is bound to be exposed to straighteners, curlers, hair sprays and a lot of hair styling products apart from the usual pollution. When it comes to hair care, Deepika trusts nothing but coconut oil. She’s been using it since childhood and believes that a weekly hair oil massage is the key to keeping her scalp healthy and protecting her hair follicles from all the heat damage and pollution. Also, Deepika uses a heat-resistant spray to reduce the ill effects of hair styling products. No wonders her tresses shine like anything.
