Katrina Kaif Birthday
As Bollywood`s beloved "India`s Barbie Girl," Katrina Kaif, celebrates her 42nd birthday on July 16, fans are eager to know the secrets behind her timeless beauty. Beyond her captivating performances and dance numbers, Katrina is renowned for her radiant skin, flawless makeup, and luscious hair.
"I like my skin to feel like it’s breathing. I don’t want to feel anything heavy or layered," she explained. Her go-to products include a multi-use cream blush, an eye crayon pencil, a touch of concealer, and a lip tint, all designed for a subtle enhancement rather than heavy coverage.
With sensitive skin, Katrina`s skincare philosophy has evolved. While in her 20s, she followed trends; she now prioritises dermatologist-approved and hypoallergenic formulations. "Anything that feels too rich or heavy tends to clog my pores," she stated. "I have to be very particular about what goes on my skin; it has to be gentle, approved, and suitable for sensitive skin.”
A recent addition to her routine is Gua Sha. "Gua Sha is something that I`ve just started using," she admitted, initially sceptical. "Let me tell you, it`s an amazing, amazing, amazing tool for skincare." She advises using an oil with "slip," like coconut oil, to ensure smooth movement and prevent skin dragging.
