Happy birthday, Athiya Shetty! Here's how she looks so pretty
What's the story
Besides her acting chops, Athiya Shetty also garners an insane fan following for her beauty and appeal. The actor's smooth glassy skin is proof that she is massively into skincare and even her official YouTube channel and Instagram handle speak volumes about it. As she turns a year older (and more gorgeous!) today, let's take a look at her go-to beauty regimen.
Beauty
Shetty uses rice water on her face daily
During an Instagram Q&A, Shetty revealed that she uses "rice water for face, either a few splashes or freeze it," when a fan asked her about her daily skincare routine. For those wondering if it works, rice water assists in skin brightening and softening. It also depuffs the eyes and removes signs of aging like wrinkles, dark circles, and tanning.
Secret
Proper hydration is the key to beauty for Shetty
Shetty is an old soul when it comes to daily care. Although she uses modern products, she swears by what her grandmother shared with her. During an interaction with Hello Magazine, the Hero actor revealed that her grandmother asks her to drink a lot of water every day for good skin. For Shetty, it is "natural and really hydrates the skin."

The 'Mubarakan' girl says it's important to let skin breathe
No matter how tired she is after a long day, Shetty always removes her makeup before hitting the sack as she believes that her skin should breathe too. With that, she also focuses a lot on cleansing, toning, and moisturizing before bed as it keeps her skin nourished and promotes faster regeneration of cells while she sleeps.
Preventive
She never steps out without applying sunblock
Sunblock is one of the most important parts of Shetty's overall skincare routine and she seldom steps out without it. As the harmful rays of the sun can lead to damage and pigmentation, she told Hello Magazine that besides protecting her skin, her sunscreen gives her a glow and makes her look stunning. She uses a light matte one as it isn't thick.
Food
'I eat everything. I feel you live only once': Shetty
Diet plays a role in Shetty's beauty but she isn't a fussy eater. During the same conversation, the beauty said that she eats everything and since we all live only once, so might as well eat all the available food. However, she adds that it's important to eat right and work to burn it. Exercising can improve skin health by eliminating toxins through sweat.
