Katrina Kaif Turns 42: Inside Her Glow-Up Secrets, From Skincare To Homemade Hair Oils
On her 42nd birthday, Katrina Kaif reveals the secrets behind her glowing skin, minimal makeup routine, and the homemade hair oil gifted by her mother-in-law.
As Katrina Kaif rings in her 42nd birthday on July 16, fans can't help but admire how she continues to radiate with flawless skin, glossy hair, and effortless beauty. Known for her understated, clean aesthetic both in beauty and fashion, Katrina recently opened up in an interview with The Week (shared on YouTube in December 2024), revealing her most personal beauty rituals, off-duty makeup preferences, and the homemade hair oil she swears by.
Katrina's beauty philosophy on non-working days is simple: breathe easy, wear light. When she's not on set or attending an event, she avoids heavy makeup altogether. 'Unless I have friends over or I'm stepping out, I don't put on makeup," she said.
Even when she does reach for her beauty products, her look is barely there. 'I like my skin to feel like it's breathing. I don't want to feel anything heavy or layered," Katrina shared. Her go-to products? A weightless multi-use cream blush, a feather-light eye crayon, a touch of concealer, and a lip tint, just enough to enhance her features without masking her skin.
Her Sensitive Skin Demands Thoughtful Skincare
As the founder of her own beauty line, Katrina's passion for skincare is as strong as her love for makeup. With sensitive skin, she's learned to be selective about the ingredients she uses. While her 20s were spent chasing trendy brands, she now relies on dermatologist-approved, hypoallergenic formulas.
'Anything that feels too rich or heavy tends to clog my pores," she said. 'I have to be very particular about what goes on my skin, it has to be gentle, approved, and suitable for sensitive skin."
A Gua Sha Convert And a Fan of Slip-Friendly Oils
Among her current skincare obsessions is the Gua Sha, a traditional facial massage tool she was initially skeptical about. 'I used to think it wouldn't do much," Katrina admitted. 'But it's honestly amazing. It's become one of my favourite tools." Her tip? Always pair it with a nourishing oil that offers enough glide, coconut oil works great, she says so the tool doesn't tug or pull the skin.
The Secret Hair Oil from Her Mother-in-Law's Kitchen
When it comes to haircare, Katrina revealed a heartfelt favourite: a homemade oil crafted by her mother-in-law, actor Vicky Kaushal's mother. 'It's truly the most incredible hair oil I've ever used," she gushed. While she doesn't know the full recipe, she knows it includes powerhouse ingredients like onion, amla, and avocado, all slow-cooked for hours in an iron vessel to release their potency.
'Homemade oils really work," Katrina affirmed. 'There's something special about ingredients from the kitchen, they're simple, but so effective."

Hunter Biden SLAMS Hollywood star George Clooney on anniversary of Joe Biden's campaign exit; asks 'What right do you have to step on a man...'
Washington, Jul 22, 2025 -In interviews published one year after Joe Biden abandoned his re-election bid, his son Hunter lashed out at actor George Clooney for leading the public charge on calling for the elderly president to bow out. "Fuck him. And everybody around him," Biden's younger son said in a profanity-laced interview with independent journalist Andrew Callaghan, who has 3 million followers on YouTube. "Really, do you think in middle America, that voter in Green Bay, Wisconsin, gives a shit what George Clooney thinks about who she should vote for?" Biden also said in a podcast with Jaime Harrison, former chair of the Democratic National Committee. Clooney was one of the first high-profile Democrats to publicly call on Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, just three months before the election. Biden, then 81 years old, was at the time facing growing doubts in his own camp about his health and mental acuity, after a disastrous debate with Donald Trump at the end of the June. "I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee," read the headline for Clooney's essay, published in the New York Times on July 10, 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Oscar-winning actor and producer recounted having seen the president at a Hollywood fundraiser the month prior, describing him as no longer the politician he was in 2010 or 2020. "I consider him a friend, and I believe in the last four years, he's won many of the battles he's faced," Clooney wrote. "But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time." Less than two weeks later, on July 21, the president announced he was quitting the race. In the interviews released on Monday, Hunter Biden angrily remembered the events leading to the end of his father's decades-long political career. "Why do I have to fucking listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his fucking life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the fucking New York Times?" he said in the Callaghan interview. Plagued for years with legal troubles and drug addiction, Hunter Biden became a favorite target of Republicans, who viewed him as the president's Achilles Heel. Hunter received an unconditional pardon from his father in December 2024, after Trump defeated the Democratic replacement candidate, vice president Kamala Harris .
