Rakul Preet Singh shares her everyday morning skincare routine: ‘This is what I do before I step out'
'This is what I do before I step out, or before I do my makeup, and this is my everyday routine,' she said at the start of the video.
At first, Singh started with a vitamin C serum after washing her face. 'Don't forget your neck,' she reminded before going in with a salicylic acid- based gel that keeps her acne and breakouts in check. 'When you shoot in dust, you end up getting some pimples,' she reasoned.
Next, she went in with a lightweight fluid sunscreen with SPF 50 and PA++++ that promises both UVA and UVB protection from the harsh sun rays. And finally, she went in with an under eye cream.
Indianexpress.com reached out to skin experts to understand the effectivity of Rakul's skincare routine and found out whether everyone can benefit from it.
Dr. Priya Puja, Dermatologist, and Head Medical Advisor (North) at Kaya Limited said that Rakul Preet Singh's morning skincare routine is comprehensive and practical for daily use. 'Starting the day with a vitamin C serum after cleansing is an excellent choice for antioxidant protection and skin brightening. However, it's crucial to understand that vitamin C can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight,' she said, explaining that is why applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day is absolutely essential when using vitamin C in the morning.
'If you can't commit to sunscreen every day (which you must), I recommend shifting vitamin C to your night routine instead,' she added.
'Applying an ointment may help those who are acne-prone, but such medicated creams should only be used if advised by your dermatologist. Overuse can lead to irritation, especially if your skin isn't acne-prone,' said Dr Puja.
When it comes to layering, she said that eye cream should always go before sunscreen. 'Eye creams typically contain active ingredients that work best when applied directly to the skin. Once your treatments and eye cream are absorbed, finish with sunscreen, not just on your face, but on all areas of exposed skin, including your neck and ears,' she said. According to her, sunscreen should be reapplied every 2–3 hours when you're outdoors, and it's vital even on cloudy days or when you're indoors near windows.
In conclusion, Dr Priya said that you should:
With these points in mind, Rakul's routine offers a strong foundation for healthy, glowing skin, provided you follow these essential precautions.

Jump rope for fun and fitness, a new community rises in Chennai
On Sunday morning, around two dozen individuals — a spirited mix of children, adults, and seniors — gathered at Dr. Natesan Park on Venkatanarayana Road in T. Nagar with one common goal: to jump-start their day with fun and fitness. Armed with colourful jump ropes, they quickly began swinging them and jumping in rhythm. On the other side stood the instructor, G. Aravindaakshan — a self-taught jump rope enthusiast and founder of Chennai Jumps — guiding the group through the nuances of rope jumping. Over the past few months, Chennai Jumps has hosted several workshops, including activities at Chitlapakkam Lake and Anna Nagar Tower Park, among others. 'Jump rope is a tool that is under rated and which is not spoken about. It has a lot of health benefits too,' Mr. Aravindaakshan said. He began skipping during the Covid pandemic and gradually discovered that this simple tool offered much more — with a variety of techniques and possibilities to explore. 'I learnt a lot of techniques from YouTube and Instagram and practiced regularly. This helps individuals physically and mentally. When you jump, your full focus shifts to yourself — where your hands need to be and how you need to jump,' he says. According to Mr. Aravindaakshan, jump rope is a highly accessible activity that can be done anytime, anywhere. 'All you need is a little space to jump,' he says. 'It's also budget-friendly — your only real investment is the rope itself.' Currently, Chennai Jumps includes participants in age ranging from just 5 years old to 66. In the coming months, Aravindaakshan plans to bring this activity to more public spaces and schools across the city. He intends to create a professional academy for jump rope. Mr. Aravindaakshan charges a nominal fee of ₹100 from those joining his community. 'My goal is to create awareness,' he says, 'but I also need to cover the cost of the ropes, so I charge this small amount.'
