What does skincare mean to you? What made you dwell deep into the subject?

Mithila: If I’m being honest, I did not take skin care seriously until my skin started acting up. As I built and followed my skincare routine, it started to feel less like a chore and more like a self-love ritual. Now I look forward to those quiet moments every morning and night, where I am simply at one with myself, caring for my skin, so I can look and feel my best!

Your tips for a quick skin healthy DIY formulation.

Mithila: I believe in eating all the healthy ingredients in my kitchen rather than putting them on my face. Having said that, I do have a quick fix for my skin! I make sure to always have plum’s aloe vera gel at hand just because of how versatile it is. When I’ve been shooting in the sun all day, I use it as a soothing mask; if my eyes feel a bit tired, I use it under my eyes to soothe puffiness and I also use it as a spot treatment if my skin feels irritated in a certain area. Sometimes, I even use it to keep my eyebrows and flyaways in place.

The essential element here is to really find a good balance of natural ingredients and the products that suit your skin type. This very balance is what has worked for me over the years to keep my skin healthy & happy!<br>

Tell us about your go-to skincare regimen.

Mithila: My skin has been loving Plum’s Vitamin C range lately. I start off by cleansing my skin with their Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash, followed by a few spritzes of the Vitamin C Toner for an instant pick-me-up. After it dries down, I go in with a few drops of the 15 percent Vitamin C Face Serum. Once the serum sinks into my skin, which is quick, I seal it all in with the Vitamin C Moisturizer. Of course, I round this off with a sunscreen and I’m all set to take on the day!

A beauty/skincare product that has been an absolute game changer for you.

Mithila: I would have to say Plum’s 15 per cent Vitamin C Face Serum. After just a couple of weeks of using it regularly, I noticed it was giving my skin a major glow-boost. But not just that, a few dark spots that I had were also gradually starting to fade. Now I don’t go a day without it! I also firmly believe that there’s more to healthy skin than just the products one uses. I also attribute my glow to the workouts I get in every morning, my balanced diet, and the fact that I’m so particular about staying hydrated through the day.
