When one of the most beautiful faces in Indian cinema gives you skincare advice, you take it. We are talking about Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone, who revealed her skincare secrets in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Instagram on Monday. One of the questions that a fan asked went like this – “Dying to know the secret behind your super glowing skin.” In response to this, Deepika Padukone said, “My secret has always been, just keep it very simple and just stick to the fundamentals. It's sort of the mantra that my mother [Ujjala Padukone] taught me while I was growing up, she is like, ‘Don't do too much to your skin, keep it simple; less is more'. So, just as a young kid, a mother tells you that it just sticks with you and I kind of continued that through my journey and my skincare routine. I just focus on cleansing my skin, keeping my skin hydrated, using sunscreen for protecting it from the sun and that's really all I do.”

Speaking of Deepika Padukone's skincare, the actress recently sent the internet into a tizzy when she shared a bare-faced selfie of herself. Dressed in a green satin shirt and black cap, Deepika – who is the founder of the skincare brand 82°E – let the image do all the talking and only dropped a Sun emoji in the caption. In response, one of the country's top beauty influencers Malvika Sitlani, wrote, “Skin [two heart emojis].”
