2. She’s All About Representation

Dandekar also tells ELLE that a desire for representation inspired her to start her skincare line. “There are two things that inspired me to create BrownSkin Beauty. One is growing up a brown girl in Australia and needing representation all over the world, and two was coming to my own country, which is India and realizing that brown is a bad word and it should not be. We wanted to create a skincare brand that would proudly change the way we look at ourselves and our brown skin along with how skin and skincare are viewed in India. Our aim is to see our customers have a beautiful experience where they feel confident about being who they are and feeling great about what they are using on their faces and body.”

5. She Uses A Lemon With Honey On Her Face

In her YouTube video, Dandekar says that she likes to use honey and lemon on her face. “Take a lemon and then squeeze two to three drops of honey on it, and then just rub it all over your face,” she says. “Leave it on for five minutes, then wash your face.”

Dandekar doesn’t believe in restrictive diets. “Honestly, I have never believed in dieting. I believe in being grateful for any food we receive and eat,” she says. “I believe in enjoying our blessings and if you are good at your food, it will be good for you. Also, everything is in moderation, humans tend to be greedy, and we should eat when we are hungry. I used to have the habit of eating every time I watch something. Now I watch something every time I have to eat! My fav snack though is popcorn, peanut butter, jam sandwiches, apple, and chips together sounds weird but it’s yum!”

Dandekar loves to use aloe vera gel to soothe her skin. “Aloe vera gel helps keep our skin clear and fresh,” she says. “I’ve suffered from melasma, acne, and dullness, and this would make the perfect base before I’d apply any products. Keep the plant in the fridge, and it acts as a cooling and healing mask for the skin.”

4. Self-Care

Dandekar prioritizes self-care for both mental and physical benefits. “Now more than ever, we’re taking care of ourselves to the core—from skin to hair, and even mind,” she says. “And looking after all of this enables our real beauty to shine through, which is important. When your skin feels good, automatically your day gets better. That’s the power of beauty products—they help you feel good about yourself. These products don’t hide who you are but enhance it.”

5. Music Is Her Therapy

Dandekar says “I struggle to meditate, I am such a hyperactive person,” she says. “My mental health is usually taken care of by really good music, writing down my thoughts and gratitude, countering the negative with positives, and the good things I learned from the experience and journey. Watching comedies and talking to my friends and family.

These are some reasons people don’t take a chance [with women]. It is not a great reason but people in the industry are way more casual and they always want to be in their comfort space. When a woman enters the picture, the guy thinks he cannot control it and then the work space becomes diplomatic.”
