BANITA SANDHU
Actor
Beauty as an actor: It’s synonymous with being comfortable in one’s skin. I revel in scenes where I can be barefaced.
A day of self-care: Indulging in a bath, applying face masks, nourishing my hair with oil, enjoying home-cooked meals, taking my sea moss supplements, and unwinding with bingewatching sessions. Biggest beauty mishap: Following eyebrow trends! I learned the hard way that one size does not fit all, and I’ve kept them natural ever since.
Self-love in daily beauty routine: I religiously remove make-up and complete my skincare routine at the end of the day, no matter how tired I am.
One childhood beauty ritual I still swear by: Curling my lashes and lash lifts!
Advice to younger self: Resist the urge to pick at spots, prioritise weekly exfoliating masks, and steer clear of matte foundation for a more natural look.
What makes me beautiful: My beauty mark, I was born with it and used to hate it when I was younger. It always serves as a reminder of my uniqueness and self-acceptance.
RAHI CHADDA
Content Creator & Tastemaker Beauty as a content creator: It is a personal expression, reflected in how we present ourselves through grooming and style.
A day of self-care: Meditation. Also, I disconnect from work by putting my phone on ‘do not disturb’.
