AI-powered skincare platform launched to help beauty lovers enhance skin quality

A new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered skincare platform, Smartskin Africa, has been introduced by Accessplus Communications Ltd to help individuals better understand the unique characteristics of their skin and receive personalised product recommendations. The innovation marks another major step in Ghana’s growing integration of technology into everyday wellness and beauty routines.

Speaking at the official launch on November 14, CEO of Accessplus Communications Ltd, Kelvin Boateng, explained that Smartskin Africa was created to address the widespread lack of knowledge many people have about their own skin types.

“Most people do not know their skin. Most people do not know the type of skin they have,” he noted. “A lot of people follow the masses using products simply because they saw them on TV or because someone else said it worked for them.”

Smartskin Africa works by allowing users to take or upload a selfie, which the AI system then scans and analyses. The platform assesses up to 15 key skin parameters, including acne, uneven skin tone, dark spots, multi-pigmentation, hydration levels, eye wrinkles, dark circles, skin firmness, redness, and crow’s feet.

According to Mr. Boateng, the platform’s strength lies not only in its advanced AI capabilities but also in its deep training on African skin.

“Our AI is well trained when it comes to African skin. And when I say African skin, I don’t mean just dark skin. There are various shades, caramel, light skin, mid-brown, dark brown,” he said.

The system, built by a team of computer engineers and dermatologists from around the world, also doubles as a skin-tracking tool, enabling users to monitor gradual changes in their skin over time. This feature supports individuals seeking to understand how factors such as weather, dehydration, and stress affect their skin health.

“Your skin changes. It evolves. If you decide to use a product to improve, for example, sunburns, how are you sure your skin is getting better or worse? That’s where this platform comes in,” Mr. Boateng explained.

For the most accurate analysis, users are advised to scan their faces in good lighting, without makeup or sweat preferably in the morning after a shower.

Mr. Boateng emphasised that Smartskin Africa is not intended for diagnosing severe skin conditions.

“If you have a serious skin concern, we advise that you seek medical attention,” he cautioned.

The introduction of Smartskin Africa adds to the growing wave of digital innovation in Africa’s beauty and wellness sector, offering personalised solutions in a space where expert guidance has traditionally been limited.

India Embraces a Holistic Mind–Body Revolution

India Embraces a Holistic Mind–Body Revolution

For centuries, yoga has been India’s greatest gift to the world — a philosophy of movement, breath, and balance. But as wellness evolves into a lifestyle rather than just a practice, a quiet yet powerful shift is taking place across India. A new wave of holistic wellness is emerging, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary self-care.

From bustling metros to serene hill retreats, wellness in India today is taking on new forms. Meditation and yoga are now complemented by sound therapy, breathwork, Ayurveda-based nutrition, and mindfulness workshops. Modern Indians are not only stretching their bodies; they are aligning energies, managing stress, and reconnecting with inner peace.

The pandemic years accelerated this transformation. Wellness became personal and intentional — less about gym memberships or fad diets, and more about emotional balance, immunity, and self-awareness. Post-pandemic India is embracing a slower, more harmonious approach to health.

Ayurveda, once considered “old-school,” is enjoying a revival. Herbal tonics, natural skincare, and traditional recipes are being adapted for modern lifestyles, blending ancient formulations with scientific research to make wellness approachable and credible.

New-age wellness spaces are also booming. Beyond yoga studios, healing hubs now offer reiki, sound baths, journaling circles, and aromatherapy. Weekend retreats in Rishikesh, Auroville, and urban hubs like Bengaluru have become the go-to escape, offering more than relaxation — they promise rejuvenation.

Social media has played a key role in this wellness evolution. Influencers and coaches guide audiences on mental health, mindful eating, and self-care routines. The old fitness culture focused on body goals is giving way to a kinder, holistic narrative that values emotional wellbeing alongside physical strength.

Even the corporate world is adapting. Mindfulness sessions, therapy partnerships, and flexible “well-being hours” are becoming standard, underlining the idea that productivity follows peace.

The most compelling aspect of this transformation is the fusion of India’s ancient traditions with modern global practices. Yoga remains at the core, now complemented by tai chi, pilates, meditation apps, and digital detox challenges. The message is clear: wellness is deeply personal, not one-size-fits-all. As India steps into this new wellness era, it is rediscovering an age-old truth: health is not just the absence of illness — it is the art of balance.

Inside the Breakthrough Trends Spotted at BITE

Inside the Breakthrough Trends Spotted at BITE

BITE (Beauty Is The Experience) is a premier gathering spotlighting emerging beauty and wellness brands. Held annually in New York City, BITE brings together founders, retail buyers, service providers, and investors. For one day only, the Metropolitan Pavilion transforms into a discovery hub, where industry leaders can experience innovative products, connect with rising stars, and engage in forward-thinking conversations.

This year’s show highlighted the next wave of beauty innovation, where wellness, artistry, and sustainability converge. Standout trends included sustainable skincare that nurtures both skin and the planet, science-driven beauty, restorative nighttime rituals, intimate wellness, and global impact. Across the show floor, one theme was clear: beauty is becoming more intentional, sensorial, and deeply personal.

Self-Care That Says “Thanks” 

Wellness just got a little more intentional. Thanks! Naturals is a women-owned, third-generation self-care brand founded by Harley Sutton, a licensed attorney with a lifelong passion for holistic living. The brand’s 100% natural, vegan-friendly products—from balms and oils to bath salts, candles, and wellness goodies—are crafted to nourish the body, uplift the spirit, and inspire daily gratitude. Every item is cold-pressed, potent, Nevada sun-grown, and wrapped in affirmations, turning simple routines into moments of reflection. Whether it’s a soothing soak, a calming balm, or a fragrant candle, Thanks! Naturals transforms self-care into an intentional ritual, reminding you to pause, appreciate, and say thanks. With Thanks! Naturals, wellness isn’t just about looking or feeling good—it’s about cultivating gratitude in every little moment.

Feel It, Don’t Just Hear It: The New Wave of Sound Therapy 

Sound isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel. Hess Sound makes high-quality sound therapy accessible with instruments like Peter Hess Therapy Singing Bowls, gongs, and sound furniture, designed for wellness, meditation, and professional therapeutic use. Unlike delicate crystal bowls, these instruments are durable, affordable, and can be felt directly on the body, letting anyone fully experience the vibrations. With over 30 years of expertise, Hess Sound emphasizes craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and creating tools that harmonize body, mind, and soul. Their wide range—from chakra sets to sound furniture—serves a global community seeking relaxation, balance, and holistic well-being. Frequency isn’t just technological—it’s tactile, immersive, and transformative. CEO Jana Hess relies on hand-crafted bowls to create vibrations that the body feels as well as hears. “Every object, every organ, every cell resonates at certain frequencies,” she explains. The Peter Hess Sound Method, studied for more than 40 years, has shown measurable benefits, including reduced stress, improved heart-rate variability, relief from chronic pain, and better sleep. Clients often describe profound relaxation, emotional release, and a grounded sense of clarity. Hess Sound bridges ancient instruments and modern science, turning sound therapy into a hands-on, deeply felt experience. For anyone seeking to reconnect with their body, calm their mind, or find balance in a chaotic world, it’s more than wellness—it’s vibration you can truly feel.

The New Crossover: Sex as Self-Care, Beauty as Intimacy 

The lines between beauty, wellness, and sexual health are officially blurring, and Sweetums is leading the charge. This playful wellness brand reframes sex as self-care and brings intimacy out of the bedroom and into the beauty aisle. Founded by psychologist-turned-entrepreneur Alisa Brady, who previously created trauma treatment centers for women and first responders, recognized that confidence and connection are essential. Sweetums began as a passion project rooted in healing. The brand’s line includes flavored and fragranced wipes, lip balms, and unisex scents—all vegan, clean, and free of dyes or harsh ingredients. Every formula is designed around sensory wellness: the power of scent and flavor to ground, connect, and create mindful moments. Sweetums’ signature stick-based flavored fragrances and lip balms have carved out a new kind of “beauty meets body” movement. Sweetums recently landed in CVS and Walmart, and Alisa Brady is working to expand the brand’s crossover into more beauty aisles. Her playful yet purposeful products are catching the industry’s attention: Sweetums’ fragrance has even been nominated for beauty awards. As beauty increasingly prioritizes emotional wellbeing over perfection, Sweetums embodies a powerful truth: confidence is sexy, and self-care should feel good—inside and out. By focusing on scent and flavor, Alisa Brady encourages users to embrace mindfulness and pleasure in their daily routines. Her clean, cruelty-free products enhance appearance while fostering a deeper connection to oneself and others, making self-care feel easy, fun, and authentic.

Date Pollen: The Unexpected Beauty Ingredient of the Desert 

Just when you thought you’d seen every super-ingredient bloom in beauty, along comes date pollen—a botanical marvel never before used in skincare. Skin by NOOR harnesses this rare, heat-defying pollen harvested only two weeks each year from male date trees on the Arabian Peninsula, where it naturally protects against harsh desert conditions. Rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and natural UVA/UVB defense, date pollen shields skin from environmental stressors that accelerate aging while restoring natural glow. It can be layered into your routine or used solo for an instant, soft-focus finish that leaves skin remarkably smooth. The brand is founded by Dr. Salma Hassouna, ND, BScH, a naturopathic doctor who named it after her daughter, Noor. The formula is based on her grandfather’s pioneering research—he is now 90 and spent decades studying the benefits of inhalable pollen, historically used in ancient Egypt for fertility. Dr. Hassouna discovered that the same bioactive properties could help soothe and restore skin, even easing mouth sores for chemotherapy patients. With patented technology that allows the pollen to act as both a preservative and skin-healing agent, Skin by NOOR merges natural science with ancestral wisdom. Dr. Hassouna’s team has documented visible improvements in texture, tone, and radiance—proving that ancient desert dust can be a modern skincare innovation.

Tackling “Ozempic Face” with a Breakthrough Anti-Aging Mask 

Mblue Labs focuses on anti-aging innovation. A new anti-aging mask is addressing the growing concern of sagging skin and facial volume loss, often referred to as “Ozempic face,” among GLP-1 medication users. This innovative mask enhances skin elasticity and stimulates collagen production, offering a targeted solution for those experiencing skin laxity due to rapid weight loss. The mask combines Methylene Blue—a potent antioxidant discovered during progeria research—with growth factors, advanced peptides, niacinamide, and plant extracts like cork oak, linseed, and edelweiss. These ingredients work synergistically to lift sagging skin, contour the jawline, and smooth wrinkles and crow’s feet. Clinical studies show that daily use can double collagen and elastin production within two weeks, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Dr. Kan Cao, a professor of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland, discovered the rejuvenating effects of Methylene Blue while researching Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Her groundbreaking work has led to the development of this mask, which not only addresses the visible signs of aging but also supports the skin’s structural integrity and promotes natural rejuvenation. This latest evolution of the methylene blue-based anti-aging mask represents a significant advancement in skincare, offering a scientific approach to combating the effects of rapid weight loss on the skin.

The Rise of Stickwear: Minimal, Functional, Border-Crossing Intimates 

Say goodbye to wardrobe worries. Nipskin Stickwear is redefining how we think about lingerie alternatives, offering ultra-thin, reusable silicone nipple covers designed for comfort, confidence, and seamless support under any outfit. Originally crafted in Latin America, this category of intimate essentials is crossing borders and gaining visibility, now available at major retailers like Walmart. Its global appeal reflects growing consumer demand for inclusive, versatile solutions that work for a variety of body types and skin tones. Stickwear isn’t just about coverage—it’s about freedom. With designs ranging from round “Bare it All” to triangular “Angle My Way” and petite “Luna,” these pieces offer braless comfort, smooth silhouettes, and wardrobe flexibility under everything from plunging necklines to backless dresses. The rise of stickwear signals a shift toward body-confident, fuss-free fashion. Women are choosing functional, comfortable, and aesthetically seamless solutions that let them feel secure and stylish, proving that intimate essentials can be both practical and empowering.

Evening Haircare: Letting Your Hair Heal While You Sleep 

Turn bedtime into a beauty ritual. Japanese brand YOLU is highlighting a growing trend: washing and treating your hair at night. Overnight treatments let moisture-rich formulations work uninterrupted, repairing dryness, reducing friction damage, and enhancing natural shine while you sleep. By morning, hair is nourished, smoother, and more manageable. The YOLU Night Spa in Los Angeles is now offering clients the chance to experience the restorative power of evening treatments firsthand. From deeply hydrating masks to leave-in overnight serums, this approach shows that the hours of rest aren’t just for your body; they’re for your hair too. Evening haircare maximizes recovery, protects strands, and starts the day with effortlessly polished hair.

When Beauty Meets Collaboration 

Some of the most exciting innovations in skincare are happening where creativity and collaboration collide. Fountain of Waters, owned by Blessed Projects, is turning California’s agricultural by-products into luxurious, eco-conscious formulations. Their unique partnerships bring unexpected ingredients to the spotlight: think Heinz tomatoes transformed into nourishing pomace or Blue Diamond almonds reimagined as exfoliating shells. Collections like Tomato Garden and Cactus Hotel show that sustainability doesn’t have to compromise indulgence. By blending local farm ingredients with thoughtful, effective formulations, these collaborations create products that are as good for your skin as they are for the planet. In a world where conscious beauty is no longer optional, creative partnerships like these are redefining how we think about ingredients, ethics, and indulgence in skincare.

From Food To Skin Care: The Regenerative Evolution 

Tallow is having a moment in beauty—but the future is regenerative. Harri Magaldi, a former Wall Street powerhouse nicknamed “The Pitbull,” swapped high-stakes finance for high-impact skincare, founding My Neighbor’s Tallow in the New York Hudson Valley. What started as a personal quest to help her daughter’s eczema quickly grew into a mission: to create luxurious, effective products that honor tradition, nourish the skin, and restore the planet. Harri turned to tallow—a nutrient-rich fat rendered from grass-fed, regenerative farms—as the cornerstone of her small-batch, consciously sourced skincare. Using time-honored techniques like dry rendering, her formulations preserve the full skin-nourishing potential of every ingredient. The brand also features a vegan line made from organic, regeneratively grown botanicals, combining science, sustainability, and ritual in every jar and tube. With iconic products like the gold tube, My Neighbor’s Tallow is redefining clean beauty, showing that luxurious, results-driven skincare can also be environmentally responsible.

Sunless Glow: Ireland’s Clean Tanning Revolution 

In Ireland, where the sun is often a rare guest, achieving a golden glow requires a thoughtful approach. TanOrganic offers a clean, EcoCert-certified alternative to traditional sun tanning. Their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for sensitive skin and pregnancy, providing a radiant tan without the harmful effects of sun exposure. Sinéad Cullen, a former beauty therapist and lecturer, established TanOrganic in 2010 after recognizing the need for a natural and organic self-tanning solution. Frustrated with the chemical-laden products available, she developed a line that prioritizes skin health and environmental sustainability. Her commitment to quality and innovation has positioned TanOrganic as a leader in the clean beauty industry. TanOrganic’s products are formulated with natural ingredients like aloe vera and are free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and alcohol. This makes them suitable for those with sensitive skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Additionally, the brand’s packaging is recyclable, aligning with its eco-conscious ethos. Embracing sunless tanning not only protects the skin from harmful UV rays but also supports ethical and sustainable beauty practices. Brands like TanOrganic are leading the way in offering products that deliver a healthy glow without compromising on skin health or environmental responsibility.

Looking Ahead: Where Beauty, Wellness, and Purpose Converge 

From ancient desert botanicals to regenerative tallow, sound therapy, and overnight hair rituals, the trends emerging at BITE underscore a new era in beauty—one that is intentional, multisensory, and deeply personal. Consumers are no longer just looking for products that work; they want experiences that nourish the body, mind, and spirit while aligning with their values. Sustainability, science, collaboration, and self-care are no longer side notes—they’re central to what defines modern beauty.

The best expert-approved tip from a 50+ influencer that enhances natural radiance

Aging and beauty go hand in hand, but how women approach this new stage makes all the difference. For many, reaching their 50s means discovering a deeper sense of confidence and authenticity—and that’s exactly what the most inspiring mature influencers are showing online. They’re proving that beauty doesn’t fade with time; it evolves, becoming more intentional and self-assured.

Among them, lifestyle creator Gillianne Fuller stands out for her genuine and grounded approach. She embraces aging as a natural, empowering process, reminding her followers that radiance comes from simplicity and self-care, not from chasing trends or perfection. When asked to share her most valuable beauty advice, her answer was refreshingly straightforward—and surprisingly effective.

What is the best beauty tip to enhance natural radiance?

According to Gillianne Fuller, the best beauty advice for women over 50 is clear: keep your routine simple. She believes less truly is more when it comes to skincare. “When asked about my beauty routine, the first thing I always say is: keep it simple,” she explains to New Beauty. Fuller never follows every new skincare trend or fills her bathroom with endless products. Instead, she sticks to what works and avoids overcomplicating her regimen.

Her philosophy comes from generations of women who valued minimal, mindful care. “My mom and grandmother both had—and still have—beautiful skin. They didn’t do 10-step skincare routines or have drawers full of serums,” Fuller says. That natural, intentional approach inspired her to focus on essentials rather than excess.

This minimalist philosophy also extends to how she views aging itself. Fuller doesn’t see it as something to fight but something to embrace. “Aging isn’t something I’m fighting. I’m embracing it—gracefully, intentionally, and on my own terms,” she says. For her, true radiance comes from acceptance and self-awareness, not from constant change.

Other expert-approved beauty tips for women over 50

While Fuller’s simplicity stands out, other influencers over 50 also shared advice rooted in mindfulness and authenticity. Kat James, a mature beauty influencer, emphasized the importance of paying attention to what goes on and into your body. After cutting out products with harsh ingredients, she noticed her skin and energy improve dramatically.

Lisa Butler Grain encourages women to skip fleeting beauty trends and instead focus on what truly feels good. Her mantra is to “choose quality over trends” and invest in rituals that celebrate personal identity—whether it’s a signature lipstick, perfume, or hairstyle. “Sophistication is quiet power,” she says, defining radiance as confidence and grace.

Maintaining a healthy weight that suits your frame is another recurring theme. Altermann suggests avoiding excessive thinness, as fullness in the face often makes you look younger. And when it comes to makeup, Fuller reminds women that it’s optional, not an obligation. She often skips it altogether to let her skin breathe, saying that comfort and self-acceptance are what make her feel most beautiful.

Hydration also plays a vital role. Fuller attributes her glow partly to always drinking plenty of water and avoiding soda, believing that internal care reflects outwardly.

How Today’s Cannabis Products Fit Into Self-Care Rituals

How Today’s Cannabis Products Fit Into Self-Care Rituals

Cannabis has moved far beyond the stereotypical image of a recreational indulgence and is now woven into modern approaches to self-care. From soothing tinctures to aromatic topicals, people are finding thoughtful ways to integrate cannabis into routines that nurture calm, balance, and connection.

As wellness trends shift toward personalization and stress relief, cannabis products have become a natural extension of practices meant to restore the mind and body. Today, it’s as likely to appear beside yoga mats and herbal teas as it is in conversations about mindfulness and recovery.

The Rise of Cannabis Inspired Wellness

Mindful wellness has become a central focus for people seeking refuge from the fast pace of everyday life. Modern consumers want products that offer more than a momentary escape. They want tools that help them feel present, centered, and supported.

Cannabis aligns with these goals because its compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which influences mood, sleep, appetite, and perception of stress. This makes cannabis appealing for people who want to unwind intentionally.

Edibles, tinctures, and low-potency flower strains allow users to tailor their experiences based on setting and desired effects. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, cannabis offers flexibility, which is essential in personal wellness routines.

Bringing Cannabis Into Evening Wind Down Rituals

Evening routines have become essential to people hoping to create stronger boundaries between work and rest. Cannabis products can help mark the transition from the noisy demands of the day to a quieter internal state.

Relaxing edibles are among the most popular choices for these rituals. Many individuals prefer low-potency gummies or microdose mints that provide a gentle sense of ease without overpowering sensations. This controlled approach helps users stay aware, warm, and grounded.

Some common evening pairings include:

  • A warm herbal tea with a mild edible,
  • A cozy reading session paired with a slow-burning indica-leaning strain.

These combinations can help soothe both mind and body, promoting an environment ready for meaningful rest.

Cannabis and Body-Based Self-Care

Physical comfort is a foundational part of self-care, and cannabis infused topicals have become a beloved option for creating relaxing body rituals. Balms, oils, and lotions infused with cannabinoids are used to massage tension points or enhance post-bath routines, offering a gentle way to ease muscle strain while grounding both body and mind in relaxation.

Topical products appeal to users who want the benefits of cannabis without any psychoactive effects. They work locally on the skin and muscles and offer a sensory experience that encourages gentle attention to the body.

Many people are also exploring warm baths enhanced with cannabis infused bath salts. The combination of steam, scent, and cannabinoid rich minerals can create an immersive moment of calm that feels indulgent yet purposeful.

Supporting Focus and Creativity Through Daytime Rituals

Not all self-care revolves around rest. For many, self-care means nurturing creativity, motivation, or inner clarity. Certain cannabis strains and formulations can support these daytime needs without overwhelming them, offering subtle focus, calm energy, and clarity that complement productivity rather than cloud it.

Low-potency sativa-leaning products are often chosen for light creative sessions, journaling, or mindful hobbies. When used with intention, these products can help remove mental clutter, allowing more space for problem-solving or artistic expression.

People commonly use cannabis to complement:

  • Outdoor activities like nature walks,
  • Creative projects such as painting, writing, or crafting.

These pairings work well because they support a state of flow, helping the mind stay present and curious.

Cannabis as a Social Self-Care Tool

Connection is a core part of human wellbeing. For some, cannabis serves as a bridge for meaningful social interactions. Shared sessions can encourage honesty, laughter, and deeper conversations in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.

Today’s products make it easier to tailor group experiences to suit everyone’s comfort levels. Low-potency flowers, drinkable cannabis beverages, and microdose edibles promote smooth social energy without overwhelming the senses.

In many communities, dispensaries also contribute to this sense of belonging. For instance, SWED a Snoop Dogg dispensary, gives consumers a friendly entry point into curated products that reflect culture, artistry, and community-focused values.

Enhancing Mindfulness Practices

Mindfulness has become a central pillar in modern self-care culture, and cannabis can complement these practices when used attentively. Its calming properties can help reduce distracting thoughts and increase awareness of breath, posture, and physical sensation.

Meditation sessions are often enriched by very small amounts of cannabis. The goal is not to alter the mind dramatically, but to soften tension and encourage fuller presence. This approach works especially well for people who find it difficult to quiet the mind on command.

Yoga enthusiasts are also exploring cannabis enhanced practices that allow them to ease gently into poses and listen more closely to the body’s signals. When done thoughtfully, this pairing can deepen the mind-body connection.

Building a Personalized Cannabis Ritual

Because every person’s body chemistry and preferences are different, personalization is essential. A successful cannabis self-care ritual reflects both your physical needs and emotional intentions.

When experimenting with cannabis based rituals, it helps to keep a simple mental checklist:

  • What do I want to feel right now?
  • Which product aligns with that intention?
  • What setting makes me feel calm and supported?

Creating a ritual with these questions in mind helps ensure that cannabis enhances rather than directs the experience. Consumers are also gravitating toward products with clear labeling, natural ingredients, and transparent origins. This mirrors the larger wellness movement, where people value integrity and simplicity in what they consume.

Embracing Cannabis as a Mindful Wellness Companion

Cannabis and self-care will likely continue to influence each other as wellness culture grows more personalized. People are seeking rituals that acknowledge their unique needs and rhythms. Cannabis fits naturally into this direction because of its versatility and wide range of product types.

Innovation is also expanding possibilities. New formulations, precise dosing methods, and creative product blends make cannabis more approachable than ever. These advances ensure that both beginners and long-time users can craft rituals that feel supportive, intentional, and enjoyable.

Cannabis products can serve as powerful tools for nurturing balance and restoring a sense of inner steadiness. It has become a valued companion in modern self-care because it meets people where they are. It helps quiet busy minds, supports physical comfort, inspires creativity, and brings friends together in meaningful ways.

Shop My Routine is a series that explores the beauty routines of CEOs, tastemakers and influencers, while highlighting the essentials that make their day-to-day easier.

Actress and producer Michelle Monaghan has long been acclaimed for her on-screen presence and versatility (most recently in the third season of The White Lotus and next up co-starring with Mark Wahlberg in the film The Family Plan 2). Behind that poise is a wellness philosophy shaped by balance and self-care. “Meditation is my exercise; it’s critical for me in terms of feeling really grounded,” she says. “ I do it in the morning, and sometimes in the afternoon when I need a boost of energy or to calm my nervous system.” A longtime advocate of clean living and mindful routines, Monaghan’s outlook on beauty mirrors her minimalist mindset, making her a natural fit as science-driven skincare brand U Beauty’s first global brand ambassador and the face of its Smooth Serum campaign. “U Beauty has a very streamlined, less-is-more approach, which is really aligned with how I start my day and move through the world,” she says.

From her morning ritual to her commitment to sleep, hydration and movement, Monaghan has cultivated a holistic routine that keeps her feeling radiant on and off set. The mother of two balances her demanding schedule with restorative rituals involving magnesium salt soaks, antioxidant-packed green tea and a consistent skincare regimen. Here, Monaghan shares the beauty staples, wellness habits and travel essentials that help her stay centered, glowing and ready for whatever her next role brings.

“I start my day with a cleanse and use the U Beauty Resurfacing Compound, then I follow that up with The Smooth Dynamic Wrinkle Defense Serum. I’m loving this new serum because it really is smart skincare—it tackles fine lines and wrinkles that you see and also the ones you don’t, and prevents them from happening in the future. It’s dependable, and I love that I don’t have to think about much because each product from the line is composed of its proprietary Siren Capsule Technology. Once you understand what it does for your skin—how it targets damage and treats and supports it—then you know you’re getting the best results.”

Longtime Favorite Concealer

“I love the Clé de Peau Concealer. I’ve been using it for approximately 20 years, and it has built-in SPF, too.”

Sunscreen That Doubles As A Primer

“I use the U Beauty Multimodal Sheer SPF as my daily sunscreen. I really like that it works as a makeup primer too, and gives an amazing blurring effect to the skin.”

Multitasking Makeup

“I like a lip-to-cheek situation where I can use my fingers—RMS has these little pots that are literally called Lip2Cheek. I also use the Glossier Boy Brow and curl my lashes. And then for lip definition Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip liner is my go-to, and I top it off with the U Beauty The Plasma Lip Compound in the Universal clear shade to add a bit of gloss.”

Movement And Hydration

“I have exercise weight bands, and I try to do a little workout to get my blood moving a bit—I find that really helpful. Also, Tina Craig from U Beauty introduced me to a green tea called Pique. It’s heavy in antioxidants, so if I need a little boost, I’ll drink that. I also make sure to drink a lot of water when I’m on set.”

On-The-Go Aromatherapy

“I use a little rollerball of essential oils from Aesop called Flight Therapy. It has lavender, mandarin and ginger, and it’s also a nice little pick-me-up. It’s a lovely scent, and it fits in my makeup kit.”

For Unwinding From A Long Work Day

“I’m not usually a bath person, but when I’m shooting and away from home, I become a bath person. I’ll immediately put on my white noise to help me wind down, and I use magnesium bath salts and lavender and just soak in a really hot bath with candles and the lights off. I love lavender, in a candle or really in any form; I feel like it’s on my bathroom counter all the time. I also really try to keep my phone at a minimum; it doesn’t always work, but I try my best.”

Her Holy Grail Serum

“I actually think the U Beauty Resurfacing Compound is a total beauty beauty hack—it’s essentially eight products in one. Something that I also learned years ago was the brilliance of witch hazel and how it depuffs the eyes. If I have access to ice, I’ll get a bowl, fill it with ice, dump some witch hazel in it, put a little bit of water in there, and mix it all up. Then I get cotton pads and soak them in the bowl before I put them over my eyes. It’s an instant depuff.”

Peptides For Scalp And Hair Health

“I regularly take a hair peptide supplement from a brand named OMI. I’ve been using it for about a year, and it works great.”

Deeply Hydrating Hair Treatment

“My hair gets color treated a lot, and it takes on a lot of heat while I’m shooting. So when I’m not working, I try to use a lot of masks to keep it in a reparative state. I like this Goldwell hair mask called Bond Pro. It’s nice and quick but also thick, and I really feel like my hair feels great after that.”

Air Dry Styler

“I try to let my hair air dry at night so it gets a break from the dryer. I put on Olaplex No. 6, and it helps smooth the bonds. It adds a really nice texture and a bit of volume to the hair. I also love the No. 7 oil, which gives it a nice shine.”

An Earthy, Grounding Fragrance

“Recently I was shooting in Paris, and I discovered Universelle Buly. It’s a French fragrance line, and there’s a particular scent called lichen. It’s just a divine scent, and they have it in a body oil—it’s beautiful.”

In-Flight Comforts

“I like to be really cozy on a plane. I have a molded eye mask that doesn’t sit too heavily over my eyes, but it gives me the blackout. And I always drink dandelion tea on flights because it is depuffing and anti-inflammatory. I feel like I’m always cold, so I like to travel with a hooded sweatshirt and also typically bring my own little slippers for comfort.”

Rekha’s age-defying beauty secrets: Here’s how the diva keeps her skin glowing and radiant at 71 |

Rekha’s age-defying beauty secrets: Here’s how the diva keeps her skin glowing and radiant at 71 |

Rekha is Bollywood’s one of the most iconic divas, known not just for her stellar acting but also for her timeless charm. From her debut in ‘Sawan Bhadon’ in 1970 to unforgettable roles in ‘Umrao Jaan’, ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’, ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, and many more, she has ruled hearts of fans with her talent and elegance. Even at 70, Rekha effortlessly steals the spotlight, proving that true glamour only gets better with age.In a 2011 interview with Asia Spa India, she revealed the simple rituals and lifestyle choices that keep her glowing, showing that her beauty comes from caring for the body, mind, and soul in equal measure.

Rekha emphasised eating mindfully for good health

When asked for a beauty tip for women, Rekha said she had “a zillion” tips but shared what works for her, “Age as a number does not feature in my thoughts. Good genes help, and good thoughts help more. You become what you believe. Though I am no authority, I can only share what works for me. Practically, one should eat before 7.30 pm. And it’s not only about what you eat but also how you eat, its presentation, the portion, the right ambience, and even your frame of mind should complement what you do. Like when you have to eat a meal or do yoga and don’t have enough time, don’t rush into it, or else the results can be adverse. Drink lots of water. Sleep in a comfortable, cosy, peaceful environment. Love to your heart’s content. Last, but not the least, pray with your soul.”

Rekha credited her upbringing for healthy habits

The ‘Silsila’ actress attributes much of her glowing skin and wellness to her traditional South Indian upbringing. “I don’t believe anything superficial. I grew up in a traditional South Indian environment, disciplined with old-world values and where love, respect, reverence and obedience were instilled in us from the very beginning,” she said.She also shared her mother’s natural remedies, “My mother used to give us oil bath and used green gram flour instead of soap. When we fell ill, natural remedies were given like neem ki chutney for stomach pain, powdered ginger for sore throat or chandan lape for skin breakouts. Once a week she would cleanse our system with castor oil! I used to dread those Sunday mornings, but I am reaping the benefits now! I don’t know about glowing skin, but if one is pure at heart and practices a healthy lifestyle, then one looks and feels healthy inside out.”

Rekha follows consistent fitness routine without shortcuts

‘Mr. Natwarlal’ actress is disciplined when it comes to fitness. She believes, “there are no shortcuts, and consistency is the key.”She also follows moderation in her routine. “I am not too harsh on myself and indulge in chocolates once in a while,” she said. Her exercise regime includes cardio, dancing, and yoga. “I make sure to sweat out the toxins through cardio, dancing and yoga and absolutely can’t do without meditation.” Her approach shows that keeping fit is about balance and dedication rather than extremes.

Rekha’s golden tip for beauty

Rekha’s philosophy is simple, inner purity and a healthy lifestyle reflect outwardly. She believes, “Good genes help, and good thoughts help more. You become what you believe.” Her words highlight that true beauty comes from living mindfully, caring for the body, and nurturing the soul.
