Winter has set in,u00a0 and we won't blame you if you want to soak up the sun. But it is likely that you'll come back all tanned. Actress Meghna Naidu has no such woes. CS gets her talking about her winter skin regime:
Skin deep
Since it is winter, I end up stepping out more often. So, I make it a point to wear a 50 SPF sunblock. I have a tendency to get tanned easily, so I use a higher SPF.
But in a city like Mumbai, even a 15 is good. I use a medicated facewash and moisturiser, both of which have been recommended by my dermatologist.
My morning and night regime aren't too complicated. In winter, since the skin feels dryer, I need to dab a little moisturiser in the mornings and before I go to bed.
Because of the line that I am in, I have to wear a lot of make-up. So, I make it a point to clean my face with a make-up remover as soon as I'm done with the shoot. I also wash my face at least thrice a day to keep it dirt and grime-free.
Diet control
Fruits and juices are an important part of my diet. I also believe in eating healthy because what you eat is what you are.
Winter or summer, I drink gallons of water. The only difference is that I stay away from chilled water in the winter months.
u00a0
I down one litre when I wake up and another litre before going to bed. Water is a great way to purify your system and to detox it.
Face it
I hit the salon every two weeks to get a facial and a clean up done. I might not use too many fancy creams and lotions, but I never miss a facial.
u00a0
However, I don't bleach my face too frequently. It is only when I am doing an outdoor shoot that requires me to look fairer, that I opt for it.
