WHAT’S THE ONE BEAUTY HACK YOU SWEAR BY BUT HAVEN’T SHARED WITH ANYONE YET?
I love using turmeric and chickpea powder mixed with water as a mask for a quick glow fix.
WHICH BEAUTY TREND ARE YOU SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH?
Blush blindness. It’s more of a faux pas than a trend, but it looks so pretty on “no-makeup” makeup days.
WHEN YOU’RE HAVING A BAD HAIR DAY, WHAT’S YOUR QUICK FIX TO TURN THINGS AROUND?
A sleek bun! My ultimate saving grace.
WHICH BEAUTY SERVICE ARE YOU TOTALLY ADDICTED TO—LASHES, NAILS, OR SOMETHING ELSE?
I’ve been going the natural route when it comes to my nails and lashes. But the one service I have to get every month is a Moroccan hammam followed by a lymphatic drainage massage.
DO YOU HAVE A BEAUTY RITUAL THAT’S A LITTLE WEIRD BUT TOTALLY WORKS?
I use a lot of homemade recipes. Growing up in a South Asian household, the kitchen was where you went to whip up face and hair masks. So I’m always trying something or the other. I recently got introduced to Somalian Qasil powder, and I’ve been loving it.
IF YOU COULD RAID ONE CELEBRITY’S BEAUTY STASH, WHOSE WOULD IT BE, AND WHAT WOULD YOU SNAG FIRST?
Rekha! She’s an Indian celebrity who looks amazing even at 70 years old. That’s one skincare routine I have to know because she looks flawless.
