'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.

Rakul Preet Singh Takes Her Training Up A Notch With Aqua Ball Workouts
Last Updated: In her latest video, Rakul Preet Singh showed how balancing on a small, aqua ball can help strengthen the muscles that we often ignore in our workout routines. News18 Rakul Preet Singh isn't one to settle for a basic workout. A regular at the gym and a vocal advocate of holistic fitness, the actor often shares snippets from her exercise routine that blend strength, balance, and flexibility. Her latest workout video is no exception, and this time, the focus is on stabilising muscles many of us overlook. Taking to her Instagram, Rakul Preet Singh shared a video where she was seen balancing effortlessly on an aqua ball – a soft, water-filled stability trainer – as she performs a series of strength and control moves. Dressed in a bright yellow tank and green leggings, she demonstrates a single-leg squat on the unstable surface, engaging her core and deep stabilising muscles. Sharing the video, Rakul wrote, 'There are so many smaller muscles that we don't work on while training. Strengthening these muscles is as important as training your bigger ones and lifting weights. When I started, I couldn't balance even on a bosu. But now this small water ball is doable, still work in progress though. So next time you hit the gym, fire those small ones." Talking about her dedication to fitness, the actor said, 'Fitness isn't just about the body it's how I clear my mind, channel my focus, and realign with my purpose. I eat clean, move with intent, and rest when my body asks for it. That balance of nourishment, movement, and stillness is what makes me glow. I don't do it for appearances or social media; I do it because it makes me feel powerful, peaceful, and alive. Self-care, to me, is showing up on tough days, on good days, and every day in between with love, presence, and strength." Why Aqua Ball Workouts Matter An aqua ball is a dynamic piece of fitness equipment filled with water, designed to challenge your body's ability to stabilise itself. As the water shifts inside, your muscles must constantly adapt to the unpredictable movement, engaging core stabilisers, improving balance, and boosting neuromuscular coordination. Training with an aqua ball can help correct imbalances, prevent injury, and enhance athletic performance. As it activates muscles you might not normally engage, especially around the hips, ankles, and spine, it's a smart addition to any well-rounded fitness plan. Aqua Ball vs. Bosu Ball: What's The Difference? While both the Aqua Ball and Bosu Ball challenge stability, they work differently. A Bosu ball has a fixed base with a half-dome surface, offering more predictability. It's ideal for beginners, building balance and proprioception. An aqua ball, on the other hand, is completely fluid and unpredictable. The sloshing water requires even greater control, making it a more advanced tool for targeting deeper stabilising muscles. Rakul's dedication is a reminder: fitness isn't just about lifting heavy or running fast, it's about refining control, improving movement, and constantly challenging your limits.

Rakul Preet Singh shares a fun story of her first meeting with Jackky Bhagnani: 'Met in PPE kits to borrow vodka'
Rakul Preet Singh met Jackky Bhagnani during the COVID-19 lockdown while borrowing vodka in PPE kits. Their cautious first meeting led to friendship over homemade food and shared fitness passions. After three years, they married in a beautiful Goa destination wedding featuring Sikh and Sindhi ceremonies in February 2024. Rakul Preet Singh recently revealed a fun and surprising story about how she met her husband, actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani . Their first encounter was anything but ordinary, involving an unexpected combination of a bottle of vodka and PPE kits, which set the stage for their relationship. Meeting During the Lockdown In a recent cooking vlog with Farah Khan , Rakul shared the unusual story of how she first crossed paths with Jackky during the COVID-19 lockdown. On her brother's birthday, while searching for a bottle of vodka, Rakul and her siblings ended up at Jackky's place, where everyone was clad in full PPE gear, making the encounter all the more memorable. Cautious First Visit The actress recalled with a laugh how cautious they were during their first visit to Jackky's home: 'We came to his house wearing PPE kits, sanitised each other's hands just to say hello, and even sanitised the bottle.' Playfully responding, Jackky added with fake offense, 'They came, took the bottle, and didn't even invite me!' Building Friendship Over Food About two weeks later, Rakul and her brother made another trip to Jackky's place, still on the lookout for a bottle. This time, they came bearing homemade food, a kind gesture that helped lay the foundation for their friendship. Their bond grew stronger through frequent conversations, eventually deepening into something more meaningful. Shared Passion for Fitness Rakul shared that their bond grew stronger because of their mutual dedication to health, fitness, and lifestyle choices. She explained, 'We connected because we work out. When you're single, you tend to be very focused and alpha — you want someone like-minded. I thought, 'Arey waah, he works out too, his lifestyle and values are similar.' Most importantly, we connected over our workout routines. People usually want to go out and party, but don't want to eat pizza and I found someone just as psycho about fitness as me!' A Beautiful Destination Wedding After three years of dating, Rakul and Jackky exchanged vows on 21 February 2024 in a stunning destination wedding in Goa. Their special day featured two meaningful ceremonies: a traditional Anand Karaj Sikh ritual in the afternoon, followed by a vibrant Sindhi wedding celebration in the evening.
