'I Look Better Without Make Up'

I hardly get time to pamper myself and hence do not do much for my skin. I am really lucky to be blessed with good skin; all credit goes to my mom. But I make sure that I remove makeup thoroughly after shoots, and then use a moisturiser. That's all I do!

It's actually not for me. One in a while I scrub my face, otherwise I use cleanser to remove makeup and then moisturise my face. Before applying makeup, I use a toner so that makeup does not block the pores.

At times I come straight from the shoot and sleep without even getting rid of my makeup! We are so tired at the end of the day that even a power nap seems really exciting! But then I can't harm my skin much. So now I have made it a point to get rid of the makeup before bed. I keep myself happy no matter what the situation. I enjoy life to the fullest and that shows on my face. I eat right and also have enough of water.

Instead of make-up I would love to dress appropriately for the occasion. Believe me, I hate make-up and I think I look much much much better without it. I will wear shorts and a comfortable tee and would for ahead.

A stylish short skirt with tee since I am young and can wear it now. I would love to accessories my self too. A dash of kajal and I am done.

A nice, stylish and elegant one piece with an equally stylish belt. I love wearing neckpieces too, but not that fond of earrings. I wear them when I hardly have any choice. But as far as make-up is concerned, I would go with a thin line of kajal to the party.

I would love to wear an elegant cotton salwar-kameez and would highlight my eyes. I love cotton clothes and at times even though they are expensive, they do not look their price. But I don't worry what others have to say, I just make sure I wear whatever I feel will look good on me.

The current show that I am doing requires me without make-up, so I am enjoying being self these days. But when I need to put on make-up I make sure that I am using it minimal. Since I don’t need to get touch-ups every now and then, I use products that are long lasting. At the end of the day, I remove the greasepaint with a nice make-up cleanser.

My personal vanity is of Derma because the products are long lasting and is really good on skin too. I used to use Crylon, but I find Derma much better. When I am doing commercials or TVC’s, then I use MAC because it’s light.

With the kind of exposure we actors get, excessive light and pollution damages our hair. I wash my hair everyday. These days I am growing my hair because I don’t like wearing wigs and hence haven’t had an haircut since quiet sometime now. I rarely oil my hair because the next day when you wash your hair, the oil still remains. I don’t get much time to look after them. When I am down with headache, then I make sure that I put oil and massage my head.

Eat right, drink lots of water and sleep enough. No tension, no worries, smile often and make sure nothing stops you to live life to the fullest. I personally use multani mitti (Fuller's earth) once in a while and I would suggest others do the same.

Use a toner before applying the make-up because that won’t let make-up penetrate inside your skin pores. Use a nice cleanser to get rid of make-up and then moisturize your skin enough. Let your skin be natural.
