Alia Bhatt just revealed the buzzy ingredient she relies on for glowing, balanced skin

Whether Alia Bhatt is doing her multiple-step skincare routine at home, in the car or in her vanity van, it's a non-negotiable. “My skincare routine is one of the most important parts of my life and the most exciting parts of my day,” she shared in a recent video she uploaded to her YouTube channel. If you want the same glowy, bouncy skin that Bhatt has, we culled out the most important products, formulas and ingredients she relies on. 

Add a roller to your routine

Bhatt spritzes on a mist, and then uses a vibrating gold face roller in upwards and outwards motions to decrease water retention and improve circulation. “It instantly wakes me up,” she shared. Those who swear by its skincare benefits suggest that the rolling motion of the cold metal can stimulate collagen, calm inflammation and erase fine lines.

Don't forget eye cream

The thin skin around the eyes need all the TLC it can get. “Eye cream is very important,” confirmed Bhatt, who applies an under-eye cream to help with dryness and brighten the look of dark circles. She also applies The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG in that area too. “I apply it because my under-eye looks a little puffy in the morning and I'm about to go face the camera,” she shared.

Look to niacinamide 

“It is a vitamin that gets rid of any fine lines, protects from pollution, hydrates and regenerates,” shared Bhatt about her favourite ingredient—niacinamide—housed in her favourite formula: The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops. She takes it down to her neck and on her hands too—a great tip to prevent ageing on those parts of your body too. Niacinamide is known to balance oil production, improve the building of collagen and fight free radicals, making it a skincare cure-all. 

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise 

A key step in her routine is a moisturiser, and her go-to pick is the Glow Recipe Pick Juice. “I spend so much time in front of lights, so the skin gets really dry. Just like you drink water, your skin also needs to drink water," she shared. 

Always end with sunscreen

The final step in her routine is sunscreen. "I can't explain how important sunscreen is. Even if you go near a window, you need sunscreen. I'm putting sunscreen on before my makeup," confirms Bhatt.
