He may be used to the chaos that comes with a buzzy lifestyle as an influencer, but Rahi prefers a tranquil start to the day, packed with guided meditation, mandatory morning workouts and a robust skincare routine. He tells us what it takes to look so good.
How do you start your morning?
Rahi Chadda: On a regular day, I’m up by 6:30 a.m. and start with a guided meditation for 15 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of using a Gua Sha. I then head to my reformer pilates class in St. John’s Wood. It’s a staple in my morning routine.
What will we see sitting on your bathroom shelf?
RC: Lots of skincare and my vision board.
What are your go-to grooming products?
RC: Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, SPF, some serums, and eye patches are a must. Also, a hair grooming kit.
Grooming essentials you swear by and a recent find you’d recommend?
RC: Eye patches/masks are my favourite things to use before bed. A good clay mask because it’s anti-inflammatory and really leaves your skin with a radiant glow. Also, invest in a Hydra facial every 6-8 weeks, it ensures that your skin is thoroughly cleansed.
Your day and night fragrances?
RC: During the day, I love using either Gris Dior or Vanilla Diorama by Dior Beauty. In the evenings, I prefer a much stronger scent. So, I’d opt for Oud Wood or Cafe Rose by Tom Ford Beauty and Hugo Boss Bottled Parfum.
How do you like your coffee?
RC: Dairy-free.
What does breakfast look like?
RC: A protein dosa or an omelette followed by fruits (papaya, watermelon, pineapple and blueberries).
What’s your workout routine like?
RC: I swear by Reformer Pilates. Any low-intensity workout that doesn’t make me too tired for the day ahead. Sometimes on the weekend, I’ll train at Barry’s boot camp or Kobox for HIIT Training.
Morning music.
RC: Anything instrumental that is calm, meditative or tranquil.
Clothing brands you favour?
RC: I’m currently obsessed with vintage shopping and the quirky boutiques around London. I’m exploring a new style aesthetic with my styling where we amalgamate vintage finds with current-season high-end brands. It’s fun to mix-it-up.!
Last pair of sneakers you bought?
RC: B27 low-top Dior sneakers.
Top 3 sneaker releases so far this year
