NDTV Swirlster: How would you describe your haircare routine?

I'm a big believer in nature-inspired home remedies to nourish hair, which is why working with St Botanica has been such a good fit, as they are inspired by nature and elevated by science.
NDTV Swirlster: What is one advice you would give every beauty enthusiast to keep their skin in check always?
Kareena Kapoor: I would really stress the importance of using sun protection whenever you go out to protect your skin from sun damage as it is extremely essential.
NDTV Swirlster: What we eat reflects, do you think your food choices make a contribution to your skin and hair?
Kareena Kapoor: Of course! The nutrition we eat reflects in our physical health and our skin and hair as well. That's why it is crucial to eat a vitamin-rich diet including all fruits and vegetables and healthy fats like Ghee, which eventually contributes to the health of our hair and skin too.
NDTV Swirlster: What is the one beauty ritual that you follow rigorously for your skin to glow?
Kareena Kapoor: I love using my almond oil and honey homemade mask for a quick route to soft and glowy skin. Besides, I use the St Botanica Moroccan Argan Oil Night Cream for amazing skin when I wake up.
NDTV Swirlster: With winters in full swing, what is that one beauty ritual that you make sure to not miss to keep your hair in check?
Kareena Kapoor: I prefer to oil my hair overnight every week no matter what but in winters it is a must! I also love a hot oil massage as it really nourishes my hair scalp.
NDTV Swirlster: Since you are mostly busy shooting, what is your quick hack for perfect tresses?
Kareena Kapoor: Shooting days are really time-consuming and especially on outdoor days, hair health can suffer. I make sure to carry a serum for adding quick shine to my hair. St. Botanica Moroccan Argan Hair Serum is my favourite.
NDTV Swirlster: How do you feel about representing St Botanica?
Kareeena Kapoor: I am thrilled to be the face of St Botanica, a brand that uses the power of Science to extract the best from nature and natural Botanics. I have always been extremely particular with the products I use for my hair and St. Botanica's belief in perfecting the art of hair care with quality-driven formulations and Bio Actives is something I deeply resonate with.
St. Botanica's extensive research-based formulations containing natural and organic ingredients, and steering away from preservatives, parabens, mineral oils, synthetic colours, it did definitely spark my interest. It's a serious brand that delivers serious results and as a consumer, I was delighted to see them delivering on their promise.
