Taking care of your skin doesn’t have to mean splurging on endless products or following complicated routines. Often, simplicity and consistency go a long way in achieving a healthy, glowing complexion. Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, who has worked with stars like Kareena Kapoor, shared in her January 6 Instagram post a budget-friendly 4-step skincare routine that proves you don’t need expensive creams or serums to look radiant.

Step 1: Stay hydrated
Rujuta says, “I drink a lot of water throughout the day. I don’t wait to get thirsty. I drink because I keep water accessible. I can see it, I drink it.”
Step 2: Prioritise sleep
According to her, rest is key to glowing skin. “I make sure that I go to bed between 9:30 and 10 on most nights of the year, unless I’m travelling or there’s an emergency. I don’t stay up just because I’m a night owl or whatever. I’m a morning owl. I go to bed at night.”
Step 3: Regular exercise
Rujuta makes fitness part of her daily routine. “I make sure that exercise is a part of my life. Nothing too much, nothing too little, but something that I log in week on week. And I ensure that as a working woman, I’m done with my exercise before 9 a.m. every single day. That’s my step three.”
Step 4: Avoid skincare gimmicks
She emphasises steering clear of overhyped products. “I do not watch any video that says skincare routine. I don’t fall for anything that says anti-ageing. I don’t fall for anything that says look 20 years younger than your age.”
Rujuta concludes, “So that’s how I have maintained good skin for as long as I have lived, at least till now. But till now I have gotten away with good skin following these four steps only.”
