Is beauty only limited to appearances? What about those intentional moments we steal away to nourish our bodies and minds? There's joy and, yes, beauty to be found in lingers a little longer than usual or an indulgent skincare routine at the end of a long day. For India's fashion insiders, these very rituals keep them grounded, not to mention glowing. We hit some of our favourites up and discovered that beauty to them isn't defined by the latest products but by practices rooted in mindfulness and self-care.

"I start my mornings with a gentle face wash. I'm currently using Sebamed, but I also love La Roche-Posay and Bioderma for their pH balance. After cleansing, I spritz on rosewater and apply a nourishing lip balm. I alternate between a face oil and hyaluronic acid, and at night, I focus on skin repair with La Roche-Posay's Active C, which I've used for over 13 years. On weekends, I treat myself to a mask from Dermalogica.
I eat healthily-a lot of ghee, pomegranate, coconut, and amla to keep my skin healthy. I stay away from expensive creams because they don't work. I don't want to spend money trying to look young because we're all going to age and should accept it gracefully."

"I start my day with a turmeric shot mixed with amla. I grow turmeric in my garden in Goa, along with ginger, galangal, and pepper, so it's all farm-to-table.
I keep my skincare routine simple: a good cleanser and minimal makeup. I always travel with a small bottle of Ayurvedic hair oil, like Bhringadi or sesame oil, which nourishes my hair and scalp. For skincare, aloe vera is my go-to SOS remedy. I simply cut a piece from my garden, scoop it out, and use it as a mask or overnight treatment for sunburn or dryness.
