Anushka Sharma has been a role model for many, not just for her acting prowess, but also for the way she carries herself and leads life on her own terms.
Despite her hectic life, Anushka does not throw her skin and hair care routine on the backburner. Her secret to glowing skin and luscious locks starts with a carefully throughout and closely followed beauty regimen. To top that, she keeps her makeup minimal when not shooting.
On Anushka Sharma’s birthday (1st May), here’s visiting 8 of her skincare, haircare, and makeup tips that she can’t do without.
1. Mashed Banana To The Rescue
Anushka can’t swear enough for this natural ingredient. It serves as a great cleanser for all skin types. Enriched with loads of vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C, it is known for its moisturising properties that impart a natural glow to your face. It tightens the skin, addresses age-related sagginess, reduces premature signs of ageing, treats acne, and treats dullness.
For oily skin, bananas offer a separate set of benefits. Vitamin C in the fruit absorbs excess oil from your face, leaving it naturally exfoliated. Apply mashed banana as is or blend it with other natural ingredients like honey, rice powder, or oats.
2. Coconut Oil For That Sheen
Coconut oil is great for your hair. You know that! But for the face? Yeh naya hai na? This power-packed moisturiser prevents the skin from losing water, thus, ensuring its suppleness and natural shine. Massage some coconut oil on your face, preferably before you hit the bed at night.

3. Wash-Scrub-Moisturise Routine Before Bedtime
Anushka believes in her wash-scrub-moisturise routine before going to bed to protect her skin from its exposure to harsh arclights for long hours. So, she blesses her skin with the goodness of a scrub to remove every remnant of makeup products. This is followed by a facial wash with a cream-based cleanser and a cocoa butter lotion that leaves her skin moisturised.
4. Protect Skin & Hair From The UV Rays
Anushka has been quoted several times during interviews and on her Instagram handle, emphasising the necessity of using sunscreen. Apart from the obvious reason for it being to protect her skin from the harmful UV rays, she adores the natural shine that a sunscreen leaves on her skin. The diva protects her luscious hair with a scarf, hat or umbrella – a sunscreen for her hair. It also helps her to save her hair from dust.

5. Coconut Oil Massage Before Washing Hair
As you can see, Anushka is a huge fan of coconut oil – not just for her face, but her hair too. She cannot have enough of a good ol’ champi before she washes it off with a good shampoo as that contributes to a healthy scalp. A hair oil massage is so important to her that she usually avoids washing her hair without a champi before that. At times, she mixes coconut oil with egg yolk or raw amla powder as a hair mask.
6. A Facial Massage As A Prep
Anushka loves to get a facial massage before her makeup artist is all set to make her shoot-ready. A facial massage boosts blood circulation in your face, oxygenating the tissues and giving you a healthy glow. This, in turn, makes your skin the right canvas as a makeup base.
7. Focus On Your Eyebrows
Anushka considers doing her eyebrows an indispensable part of her makeup routine. A well filled-in brow acts as a frame for the eyes and highlights the best facial features. Besides, it makes the face well-groomed. She prefers to keep hers natural yet bold. Even if she wants to give an elaborate makeup look a miss, filling in the brows is a must for this diva.
8. Blush-Cum-Lip-Tint For A Two-In-One Charm
This is yet another of those makeup tips that Anushka swears by even when she chooses to skip the A to Z makeup routine. When she has just 5 minutes to look well put together with her makeup, she applies a lip tint and then uses the same product on her cheeks.
