Jacqueline Fernandez reveals her beauty rituals

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez shares her most guarded beauty rituals.

When buying beauty products

I always check the ingredients. The product should be sourced from natural ingredients, it should have not been tested on animals as I am against animal testing and it should be soft on the skin.

I actively avoid

Products that have high percentage of parabens, that have harmful chemicals in them and hair products with sulphate in them.

I just cannot do without

The Body Shop’s Strawberry Body Butter for its yummy fragrance and Vit C Energising Face Spritz (amazingly refreshing) and lip and cheek stain also from the same brand. I pretty much carry these products with me in my bag all the time.

My beauty icons

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Jackie O). I think she defines sophistication and I always thank my mum for calling me Jacqueline, because I love her so much. Next would be Grace Kelly, because she's classic and I love her graceful old-school look. And lastly, Elizabeth Taylor, for her unmatched glamour.

My beauty tips

I would recommend all girls to please oil their hair at least once a week. Oils have the most wonderful effect on the complexion due to their high affinity with the skin. You can literally see the radiance and suppleness being restored and dull skin coming back to life as all of those incredible nutrients go to work, that is why I just love The Oils of Life range from The Body Shop. I also love indulging in home spa treatments.
