Karisma Kapoor: ‘Skincare is a beautiful way for women to de-stress’
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. Trust actor Karisma Kapoor to know a few things about fashion and beauty. For Kapoor has faced the camera since the age of 16.
A recipient of many awards, including a National Film Award, she is equally known for her era-defining fashion and makeup looks— be it a bubblegum princess in Andaz Apna Apna, or dressed in whites in Fiza. In an interview with Lounge, Kapoor, the face of Estee Lauder’s Night Done Right campaign, delves into her beauty and wellness secrets. I have to be really honest, in my teens, I did nothing.
Even in my 20s or 30s, you would be surprised, I never really did much. For decades, we were just working so hard, from one set to the other. Life took over.
It's only now, in my 40s, that I've realized what self-care is and the importance of a routine. This is why it's a great honor to be part of Estee Lauder, which is such a big part of my routine. I used to watch my mother use the ‘Night Repair’ (it had a cult following and she would buy it when travelling since it wasn't available here).
It's called Advanced Night Repair now and the three-step routine is an integral part of my nighttime rite. Day is just a simple moisturiser and sunblock. At night, I use eye cream, serum and cream.
The three-step process really hydrates your skin, plumps it up and gives you that glow the next day. I think skincare is a beautiful way for women to de-stress, even if they have only 10 minutes for it. My approach to mindfulness is very simple: I just like to listen to music.
I've always loved yoga. I don't like to complicate and do too many things. Whether it's with dressing or the kind of person I am, less is more.
