Mumbai (Commonwealth Union)_ Undoubtedly, Deepika Padukone holds the throne as the evergreen diva of Bollywood. However, her achievements extend beyond the realms of cinema, as she ventured into entrepreneurship by launching her own skincare brand, 82°E, last year. In a blog featured on the official website of 82°E, Deepika shared her views on skincare and highlighted the inspirations that have influenced her journey. Notably, she credits her mother, Ujjala, for significantly impacting her skincare routine and the essence of her brand’s philosophy, which centers around the “less is more” approach.

The actress also recalled how her mother’s mindful skincare practices rubbed off on her and continue to be her go-to routine and the guiding principle behind the products at 82°E. However, Deepika Padukone humbly admits to having made several skincare mistakes during her teenage years, when she was a professional badminton player. At that time, she had little understanding of skincare and neglected crucial practices for her skin health, merely washing her face with water and overlooking cleansing, hydration, and sunscreen usage.
Further, as she entered her twenties and embarked on a career in modeling and acting, she began to witness changes in her skin, such as sunspots, freckles, and pigmentation. This prompted her to realize the importance of proper skincare and adopt a Cleanse, Hydrate, and Protect routine, which she found to be simple yet highly effective. For more complex skincare concerns, she sought the advice of dermatologists. Deepika also emphasized that her skincare routine is an act of self-love, cultivated with intention and without guilt. Whether it takes 30 seconds or 30 minutes, she firmly believes that practicing skincare mindfully constitutes an act of self-care.
In an earlier “Ask Me Anything” session, Deepika revealed the influence of her mother on her skincare perspective, reiterating the mantra of simplicity and adhering to the fundamentals. Cleansing, hydrating, and using sunscreen to protect her skin from the sun are the cornerstones of her routine, a philosophy she has carried throughout her journey. In terms of work, Deepika Padukone’s upcoming projects include “Project K” alongside Prabhas and a cameo appearance in “Jawan” with Shah Rukh Khan.
