Healthy skin, even in males, requires a combination of skincare and lifestyle decisions. While sun protection is important for preventing wrinkles and skin damage, R Madhavan says you don't have to avoid the sun completely. In a July 7 interview with GQ India, he discussed his skincare regimen. The actor turned 55 on June 1.

Secrets to Madhavan's skincare routine

Moderate sun exposure has some benefits, including increased vitamin D levels and improved mood, and Madhavan is a fan; he even credits it with keeping his skin 'tight and wrinkle-free'. He swears by 'coconut water, sunshine, and vegetarian diet', claiming that these make him appear young even in his fifties.

Madhavan shared with the magazine, "I play golf in the early morning sun. I get tanned, yes, but it helps with skin tightening and keeping it wrinkle-free; the sun suits me. And I haven’t gotten any fillers or enhancements done; maybe the occasional facial for a role. It’s just coconut oil, coconut water, sunshine and vegetarian food doing the heavy lifting."
