Confidence, comfort and a fresh glow – that’s what the summer playbook is all about, according to actress Ushasi Ray. For the Calcutta Times special swimwear shoot, she turned the poolside into a diva‑coded splash zone.
Pool‑Day Essentials
- Broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ every day – reapply every 2‑3 hours.
- Hats or scarves to shade the face.
- Light, loose cotton garments to dodge sweat rashes.
- Water‑rich fruits and plenty of water to keep skin and hair hydrated.
- Lightweight, gel‑based skincare; skip heavy, oily products.
- Quick‑change out of sweaty clothes, then a shower.
- Rinse hair after swimming to wash off sun and chlorine.
- Limit heat‑style tools and heavy makeup – less breakouts.
Makeup & Styling
The look is simple: waterproof foundation, translucent powder for sweat control, a hint of bronzer and creamy peach blush for that sun‑kissed glow. Waterproof mascara, metallic eyeshadow, smudged eyeliner, and glossy pink lips complete the vibe. A setting spray locks everything in place.
Colours on the rise? Rosy nudes, peachy pinks, coral, watermelon pink, terracotta and warm browns. For outfits, think pastel shades – lemon yellow, baby pink, powder blue – mixed with metallic accents for a timeless edge.
Hair Ideas
High ponytails, soft beach waves, messy top knots or basic plaits work best. They keep hair off the neck, reduce frizz and feel light in humidity.
Wellness Checklist
- Drink chaas, coconut water or lemon water regularly.
- Eat seasonal produce – watermelon, cucumber, mango, mint, tomatoes.
- Include protein: eggs, fish, paneer, dal, tofu, curd.
- Avoid heavy fried foods; opt for smaller, balanced meals.
- Keep cravings in check – they often signal dehydration.
- Boost skin health with vitamin C, nuts, seeds and fluids.
- Prioritise 7‑8 hours of sleep, regular movement and mindful habits.
These tips come from the combined inputs of Sonam Jaiswal, Soumya Nandy, Kishore Biswas (makeup and styling) and clinical nutritionist Shreyoshi Bhaumick Sinha (wellness). The overall vibe is: stay cool, stay hydrated, and let the summer glow happen naturally.
