Deepica Mutyala, founder and CEO of Live Tinted, gives us a peek inside her everyday skin-care regimen.
My Skin-Care Philosophy
Take it back to your roots. I’ve learned that moms are always right. I now find myself doing things I used to see my mother doing—sometimes old-school becomes new-school. I also love doing treatments I learned from her, like making DIY turmeric masks.
My Biggest Skin Concerns
My skin has been extremely dry lately, and I love the look of dewy, glowing skin. I’ve been going extra hard with hydrating products because of that. Hyaluronic acid– and squalane-filled products are a must.
My Facial Ritual
I do monthly facials with my friend Yoli (a Tatcha facialist)— she always brings out that extra glow in my skin. I also take Evolution_18 Beauty Gummies ($13). They taste delicious and I trust anything founded by Bobbi Brown honestly.
Morning Routine
The first thing I do is wash my face with Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser ($38), which is gentle enough for every day.
Vitamin C serum is also a must for my mornings. Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum ($88) has AHAs [alphahydroxy acids] that work with the vitamin C to help even out my skin tone.
Next, I apply Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion ($8), which reminds me of my mom, and I truly think it has the performance of super high-end creams.
I’m so impressed with the innovation behind Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen ($30). To have a mineral SPF that doesn’t leave behind a distinct gray overcast on my skin is unheard of. And the water lily and squalane in it make me look super glowy, too.
Evening Routine
Ever since I tried Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil ($48), I haven’t stopped using it. It’s so satisfying, and my favorite way to remove all of my makeup.
After cleansing, I spray on Ranavat Jasmine Tonique ($40). I love that this brand is inspired by India—it smells like jasmine and reminds me of home.
For serum, I like Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair ($103), which is packed with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. Essentially, it’s like a tall glass of water for my skin.
Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Cream ($70) gives my under-eyes instant brightness. When I wake up the next day, I still see the difference.
Then I apply Elemis Superfood Night Cream ($55). Its Supergrain Complex really penetrates my skin barrier, so I wake up with the softest, plumpest skin.
MDNA Skin The Rose Mist ($90) is the finest mist you can find! It seals everything in and doubles as aromatherapy before bed.
