KRESHA BAJAJ
Designer and entrepreneur
A scroll through this globetrotter’s Instagram feed will make you want to book a vacay stat. So naturally, you’ll have to fight the urge to run to Sephora after you check out her beauty stash.
“My skincare routine changes based on the weather and location. I start each day by massaging my face with a textured cloth for gentle exfoliation. I have extremely sensitive, eczema-prone skin, and I’ve also dealt with psoriasis and pigmentation. It’s helped me learn that less is more and so I’ve limited the number of products I use. I try things like massaging and cleansing my face with ice, which helps shrink the appearance of my pores without having to use any chemicals at all. Plus, it also helps bring down puffiness.”
BEAUTY MUST-HAVES: “The May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon is my favourite product – it hydrates, acts like a spot treatment and improves the overall texture of my skin immediately. I also love La Mer’s The Eye Concentrate, Biologique Recherche’s Oligo-Protéines Marines serum and the Laneige Overnight Lip Mask. I love packing in products with a rose quartz roller – I store it in the fridge and use it over my night serum to aid lymphatic drainage and for a mini pick-me-up massage.”
