Lisa Ray’s Rulebook: Hydrate, Detox, and Age Disgracefully – News18
Last Updated:
Lisa Ray is rewriting the beauty playbook—ditching trends, embracing self-care, and proving that aging ‘disgracefully’ is the ultimate power move.
Lisa Ray on ageing gracefully
For Lisa Ray, beauty isn’t just about skincare—it’s about a holistic approach to wellness, self-care, and confidence. Speaking to Vogue India during Lakmé Fashion Week’s 25th-anniversary celebrations in Mumbai, the actor and author shared insights into her beauty philosophy, emphasizing mindful living over fleeting trends.
Following her diagnosis with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, Lisa made significant lifestyle shifts, prioritizing health, fitness, and inner well-being. When asked about her go-to beauty ritual in a Vogue India video dated March 31, she shared, “I’m 52 now, and hydration is key. Taking care of my skin’s quality is important, and when it comes to makeup, I believe less is more.”
On fashion, Lisa maintains an individualistic approach, staying true to her personal style rather than following seasonal trends. When asked which trend would come and go in 2025, she confidently stated, “I invest in style, not trends.”
A Summer of Renewal in Bali
Lisa’s commitment to self-care goes beyond skincare and fashion—it’s about nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Her plans for summer 2025 reflect this philosophy: “I’m heading to Bali for a digital, physical, and mental detox. Hopefully, I’ll return as an entirely new, improved version of myself.”
Rethinking the Idea of “Aging Gracefully”
Lisa also challenges societal expectations around aging. In a March 20 Instagram video, she questioned why the term “aging gracefully” is primarily applied to women, calling it a subtle way to make them retreat into the background.
“Who decided aging gracefully is only for women?” she wrote in her caption. “It often feels like a way to impose invisibility under the guise of elegance. But why not age disgracefully—boldly, unapologetically, and on our own terms?”
In the video, she elaborated: “It’s a trap—this idea of imposing grace on women. I don’t even think about aging. Everyone is aging. So why does it become a concern when women reach a certain age? Why aren’t 20-year-olds told to ‘age gracefully’?”
With her fearless outlook and dedication to self-care, Lisa Ray continues to redefine beauty—not as something dictated by trends or expectations, but as a reflection of inner strength, authenticity, and self-love.
