Mini Mathur Shares Affordable Skincare, Desi Makeup Hacks: ‘Your Skin Repairs When You Sleep’

Mini Mathur is keeping her skincare and makeup routine refreshingly simple and affordable. Speaking on entrepreneur Vineeta Singh’s YouTube podcast, she shared that glowing skin is less about expensive products and more about consistency and overall health.

Mini revealed that one of her most-used skincare products is a basic moisturiser that costs just Rs 120. “My thing is that if you’re consistent with the most base level cream… I buy a cream which is like 120 bucks,” she said.

She dismissed the idea that expensive creams guarantee better results. “It doesn’t matter what you’re using. As long as you are consistent with it,” she explained.

While she does use trending ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, Mini clarified that she does not believe in miracle products. “I don’t have this one magic mantra cream,” she said, highlighting that skincare is about long-term care, not quick fixes.

Mini strongly emphasised that skincare begins from within. “Nothing helps skincare, according to me, like what is happening inside your body,” she said.

She recalled experiencing pigmentation changes after her thyroid levels fluctuated. “My face was getting darker than my body. It was all a function of my thyroid behaving badly. The moment I fixed that, my pigmentation got better,” she shared.

Her nighttime routine is non-negotiable. “Your skin rests, and it repairs when you sleep. So don’t just sleep with your dirty day-old makeup and clogged pores,” she advised. She also never skips sunscreen, cleansing, and hydration.

Mini Mathur Highlights Importance Of Muscle and Fitness For Ageing Well

Mini, who regularly shares wellness insights with her followers, recently also stressed the importance of body composition in healthy ageing. She previously explained that focusing only on weight loss can be misleading, as losing muscle instead of fat can affect strength and overall appearance.

“More muscle means you age more slowly and stronger,” Mini said, adding that proper nutrition, protein intake, and strength training support long-term health.

Mini keeps her makeup routine practical and minimal. She stressed the importance of filling in eyebrows, especially after 40. “What a lot of people miss out on… is not building their brows. They’re doing beautiful eyes, but they’re not balancing their eyes,” she said.

Mascara is another essential. “I don’t go anywhere without mascara,” she added.

She also shared a desi beauty hack, using beetroot as blush. “It gives the most beautiful, deep blushy vibes… it really works well for me,” she said. Multi-use sticks for lips, cheeks, and eyes are also part of her quick routine.

Mini Mathur’s Honest Take On Ageing and Skincare After 50

Mini made it clear she does not believe in the idea of “anti-ageing.” “What the hell is anti-ageing? I am ageing,” she said. Instead, she prefers products that support the skin’s needs. “My skin needs more collagen. It needs more hydration… give me products that have what I need,” she explained.
