How Saif Ali Khan maintains his health and glow at 55
The actor explained that maintaining a healthy lifestyle involves proper sleep, a balanced diet, and regular exercise. “It’s a holistic thing, you have to sleep well, eat well, especially at my age, and exercise. Every little thing shows up on your face. To look good, you also have to behave well,” he said.
When asked specifically about skincare for those in their 50s, Saif said it’s closely tied to lifestyle and overall habits. “It reflects my lifestyle, my thoughts, and just generally good behaviour. You can’t get away with anything anymore,” he admitted.
The actor noted that overindulgence in activities like late-night partying, smoking, or drinking, behaviours that might have been manageable in one’s 30s, can take a serious toll at this stage of life. “It takes a little time to accept that those days are gone,” he added.

Earlier, in a September 2024 interview, Kareena Kapoor revealed Saif Ali Khan’s bedtime skincare routine during an interaction with Vogue India. She shared that Saif is a perfectionist when it comes to looking after his skin.
“Saif loves his skincare products and is very diligent about moisturising before bedtime, he actually enjoys it more than I do. He’s quite the perfectionist, and I think that’s why he looks so handsome all the time,” Kareena said.
