Malaika Arora’s nighttime skincare routine at 52 has 7 steps: ‘Just some TLC’

Malaika Arora, the 52-year-old Welcome actor, has shared her nighttime skincare routine on Instagram. She follows a seven-step process that starts with double cleansing and ends with a moisturizer. According to Dr Shireen Furtado, Aster CMI Hospital's senior consultant dermatologist, this routine reflects some healthy habits like using a gentle cleanser, moisturizing, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet.

However, Dr Furtado warns that using multiple serums, facial oils, and hyaluronic acid together might not necessarily yield better results. She also emphasizes that expensive products may not be more effective than simpler, well-formulated alternatives. Dr Vishalakshi Vishwanath, a consultant dermatologist at KIMS Hospitals, explains that peptides can help improve skin texture and firmness by promoting collagen and elastin production.

However, she points out that the skincare journey of celebrities often hides factors like prescription medicines, dermatologist-recommended treatments, professional facials, and genetics that influence the skin's appearance on screen. Dr Furtado advises consulting a qualified dermatologist for personalized advice if one has persistent skin concerns.
