Kareen Kapoor, 33, also known as Bebo, is
one of the top Bollywood stars, as her talent is hardly matched by many
actresses. However, when she steps on the red or the green carpet we can’t stop
but envy her perfect look!
What are her beauty secrets and how she manages to look so great all the
time? The lovely actress likes to keep a low profile when it comes to giving
out her beauty secrets, as each time she is questioned about her beauty routine
she just blames it all on her genes. However, we managed to dig out some of her
deepest secrets!
Beauty secrets of Flawless skin
No chemicals!
Bebo admits she uses a strong moisturizer on her face, because she has a
dry skin. Also, she doens’t apply any chemicals on her face.
You can also avoid chemicals and pick organic products or rob the fridge
for a high quality face mask. Depending on what type of skin do you have, use a
base and then add an enhancer. One of the most effective bases for a face mask
is honey.
For a dry skin you can mix two tablespoons of honey with the same amount
of yoghurt and apply the mixture on your face, then leave it on for ten minutes
before washing it with warm water.
For oily skin you need to add to your honey base half of one ripe banana
and 10 drops of lemon juice. The vitamin C boost will regulate the oil
production in your skin, leaving your face smooth and hydrated.
For acne, you can also use honey to soothe and hydrate your face. Add
one teaspoon of nutmeg and one teaspoon of cinnamon to the honey. The mixture
will leave your face soft and hydrated.
Lots of water
Bebo drinks a lot of water to make sure her skin is always
hydrated from inside out, not just from the outside. To make sure you are
always hydrated, which is one of the most valuable beauty secrets ever, drink
at least 6 glasses of water or tea each day. If you have problems drinking that
much water, make your own infused water out of two litres of water and your favorite
mix of flowers, spices and fruits. Inspiration: lemon and ginger.
Minimal make-up
Kareena’s beauty secrets when it comes to makeup are straight and easy
to follow: minimal products! When she is on the set, Bebo insists on using as
little makeup as possible and when she returns home she removes it as soon as
possible.
At home, she never wears makeup and when she needs to step up in the
flash lights she wears as little makeup as possible. Her essentials are a kohl
pencil in black, smokey eye tint, a MAC ‘cherish’ lipstick and MAC blush
‘improper copper’.
Hair beauty routine
Regular oiling
for luscious locks
Kareena Kapoor keeps her hair healthy by oiling it regularly with a
natural mix of oils. She uses a mixture of olive oil, almond oil, castor oil
and coconut oil, which she gently massages on her scalp once a month.
However, if you don’t have dry hair, like Kareena, you can use a mixture
of smashed strawberries and yoghurt, which you massage on your scalp, then
rinse with water before you carry on with your regular washing routine.
Don’t be afraid to
blow-dry
One of Kareena’s beauty secrets consists of using the blow-drier. You
probably think this is a huge no, as it can damage your hair, but you are
wrong! To add volume on your hair use a rotative brush on the roots and the
blow drier.
Relaxed hairdo
When she is off the flashes, Kareena ties her hair in a simple pony tail
for a relaxed and natural look.
Diet and lifestyle beauty secrets
Lots of minerals and
vitamins
Bebo turned to a vegetarian diet. The change turned out to be a great
switch for the actress who confesses giving up on meat helped to lose weight.
This is because Kareena’s favorite foods, spinach, broccoli and fenugreek,
contain a lot of vitamins and minerals.
Healthy eating goes a long
way
One of the healthiest beauty secrets is eating healthy meals all the
time and Kareena sticks to this routine as she eats a lot of whole grains,
besides the vegetables. She doesn’t cut down on the carbs and she eats dal,
curd, roti and brown rice. However, the actress admits she can’t resist the
amazing Punjabi food!
Exercising your bikini
diet
Even if Kareena popularized the “size zero” she doesn’t believe in this
concept. But she doesn’t believe in regular exercising and she does yoga and
ashtanga at least one hour per day. She is a great fan of Pilates and when she
has time she enjoys basic surya namaskars to keep up her fit figure.
To sum up Kareena Kapoor’s beauty secrets she advises
us all to life healthy and embrace a natural lifestyle. To promote a glowing
skin you need to stick to hydration and natural, home-made products, as well as
regular makeup cleaning routine. For your hair, you also needs to stick on the
natural side, with natural mask and oils for proper hydration and a regular
cleaning routine. Exercising and healthy diet also matters when you want to look stunning 24/7, so make sure you eat
as many vitamins and minerals you can, because they promote natural beauty
better than any type of makeup.
