Gong Hyo Jin maintains an active lifestyle, takes proper care of her skin, and limits makeup to prevent aging and maintain youthful skin.
In the new promotional photoshoot, Gong Hyo Jin received many compliments for her youthful appearance despite her age. The 45-year-old actress has smooth, supple skin that is no different from when she was eighteen or twenty.
According to Nate, Gong Hyo Jin maintains a simple skin care routine, limits makeup as much as possible, and maintains an active lifestyle to prevent aging.
Limit makeup
Apart from the times when she is required to wear makeup for work, the rest of the day and week, the actress often goes bare-faced. She said that taking time to let her skin "breathe" helps the skin to be bright and healthy, limiting the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, when not wearing makeup, the skin can easily absorb vitamin D from sunlight, thereby increasing immunity and slowing down aging.
Use skin care products suitable for your skin condition.
Gong Hyo Jin uses many types of cosmetics, changing depending on her needs and skin condition. When she notices that her skin is dark, she will use products containing the active ingredients kojic acid and tranexamic acid. When she needs to brighten her skin and reduce wrinkles, she uses vitamin C. When her skin needs to be supplemented with nutrients to speed up recovery and rejuvenation, she uses vitamin B3 (niacinamide).
In addition, Hyo Jin emphasizes the importance of using sunscreen every day, wearing sunglasses, and wearing sun-protective clothing when going out. This habit helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, the leading cause of premature aging.
Body care, like facial care
The neck, back of the hands, or feet are areas of skin that easily show signs of aging due to the aging process. The actress spends a lot of time taking care of her body. She exfoliates with tools such as loofahs and specialized gloves to promote the recovery and regeneration of the skin. Then, she applies a body moisturizer containing niacinamide and retinol to smooth the skin and slow down the aging process.
Exercise regularly
Gong Hyo Jin maintains an active lifestyle, actively exercising to keep her body fit and youthful. She regularly practices Pilates and full-body resistance exercises to get toned abs.
In a video on her personal Youtube channel, she said that she doesn't like to sit still and always finds ways to move even when she's at home. She enjoys cleaning the house, taking care of the garden, walking the dog or cooking... Activities at home help increase metabolism, maintain a slim figure.
