Miss World 2017 turned actor Manushi Chhillar has been accustomed to living under the spotlight since her teenage years. But have you ever spotted acne or a pimple on her face during PAP videos? It’s because the diva takes intense care of her skin and knows how to maintain a clear glow long-term.
The diva recently shared a detailed video about her skincare routine, walking us through her step-by-step process. She started with a BTS video about how life goes under pressure, where she constantly has to look her best.
Her routine begins with making a special beverage in the morning. Instead of any fancy items, she sticks to basic Indian foods that work like magic on her skin from within. She then moves on to the skincare part, showing us her step-by-step routine.

Starting with a face washIn the video, she says, “First things first, I start with washing my face. Now, I only rinse my face with water. I don’t really use a cleanser in the morning because I feel it’s a little too harsh for my skin. My skin is mostly dry.” She believes in patting her face dry and never rubbing the towel against her skin. Explaining this, she said, “Remember to pat your face dry; don’t rub. I used to rub my face, and my mom was like, ‘What are you doing to your skin?’”
Her go-to honey maskShe then moves on to the next step and uses a honey mask. Manushi says in the video, “I actually use a honey mask in the morning. Sometimes I wash my face with honey, but today we’re doing a mask because we have some extra minutes. Honey is great for hydration and glow. Normally, I’d rub it on and wash it off quickly, but today I’m letting it sit a bit longer.”
Consumed hydrogenated waterWhile the mask worked its magic, she consumed her hydrogenated water. The actress says in the video, “This is the first thing I consume every morning. My dad introduced me to it. It has anti-inflammatory properties, is a great antioxidant, and I’ve noticed a surge in energy ever since I started drinking it.”
For the uninitiated, hydrogenated water is regular water with extra hydrogen gas, which contains antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Pre-workout skincareManushi applied a light layer of glycerine before heading to the gym. She explains, “I use ozonated glycerin, which my dad introduced me to. It’s super hydrating, non-comedogenic, and works for both acne-prone and dry skin. I don’t like heavy skincare before a workout.”
Special morning drinkShe also makes her special morning drink, which she calls a secret elixir. She says, “I start with malic and ascorbic acid. Fun fact: most people think citric acid is vitamin C, but it’s actually ascorbic acid. I add a little potassium chloride, iodine, and methylene blue, prescribed by my doctor. I’ve noticed subtle changes in my energy, skin, and inflammation. These small things really count.”
Pre-workout mealManushi’s pre-workout meal is quite simple. She says, “Most people expect something fancy, but it’s literally a little dal, rice, and ghee. It gives me the right amount of complex carbs and fat before a workout without affecting my weight.”
Post-workout skincare regimeLastly, after her breakfast and workout, she does another round of skincare, explaining, “I start with moisturiser. There’s something so therapeutic about it; it’s like massaging your face, thinking about life, and focusing on your breath. Then comes eye cream and sunscreen, a very important step. I became regular with sunscreen in college. Back in school, I didn’t take care of my skin at all.”
