Samantha Ruth Prabhu's skincare secret
Sharing that the secret to her glowing skin is ‘less is more’, Samantha shared, “You know, I also used to follow the many-step skincare routine, but I have realised that less is more, actually. Finding those few products that really work for you and sticking to them.”
She added that over the years, she has realised that the trends eventually fade away and there are just a few products that eventually stand the test of time for your particular needs. “So, you don't have to do like a 7-8 step routine. Just a few products will do,” she added.
As for the products she always adds to her routine because of her age, she turned 38 this year, the actor said, “I definitely would put retinol in there (skincare routine). Younger skin doesn't need it. Sunscreen for sure. A really good serum.”
How does Samantha Ruth Prabhu stay fit?
Samantha said, “I wish I could say it is a mix, but it is hardcore weight/powerlifting. One day, I think I'll say it is a mix of Pilates, yoga, and weightlifting.”
