She bounced back to her original figure after her pregnancy
While she was pregnant, fans were surprised by Angelababy’s figure. Not because she gained lots of weight, but quite the opposite. She was once spotted by paparazzi when she went shopping in Central with her manager and looked exactly the same as before her pregnancy, only with the addition of a prominent baby bump.
Soon after she gave birth, she worked hard to return to her original figure by exercising and reducing her calorie intake, which even lead netizens to speculate that Angelababy had faked her pregnancy through surrogacy. During her appearance on My Better Me, the hosts of the show measured her waistline and revealed that it was only a shocking 50cm (21 inches). On the show, the model said the most important part about keeping fit is having self-discipline, stressing that it has to be a habit and part of your routine.

She follows her regimen every day, regardless of where she is
To keep herself looking youthful, Angelababy is seriously strict with her beauty regimen. You’d probably think her daily beauty list of things to do would be endless, but surprisingly, there are only a few simple steps. It starts with drinking more water – more specifically, drinking a glass of water as soon as she wakes up.
To keep her skin in top condition, Angelababy stresses the importance of protection against the sun and UV rays. Whether she is working or on the road travelling, she always carries a bottle of sunscreen with her. Additionally, she told HK01 that she’ll mist her face every half-hour to keep her skin moist and plump.
She uses milk to wash her face
We all have some beauty tricks that we follow religiously, even if they might seem unconventional to others. Angelababy’s got one of her own, too: washing her face with milk. According to HK01, she says that occasionally washing her face with milk helps to get rid of discolouration from spots, as well as making it appear brighter.
Milk contains lactic acid, which is great for deep cleaning pores and removing acne-causing bacteria. In addition, milk contains a high amount of Vitamin D, which boosts collagen production and therefore delays signs of ageing.

She’s got a quick fix to combat stress-induced acne
Even celebrities like Angelababy get occasional spots on her face – after all, she is only human. She told KKnews that, because of her stressful work life, she gets acne breakouts as well as dull skin. To overcome that, she recommends covering the acne with thin slices of fresh aloe vera. Not only do the antibacterial properties of aloe vera control acne, but it also brightens her skin – talk about killing two birds with one stone!
She’s diligent with exercising
If there’s one thing Angelababy doesn’t hold back on, it’s eating to her heart’s content. During her appearance on Keep Running, Angelababy’s appetite was even larger than her male co-stars. The programme secretly taped the cast during their lunch break and kept count of how many bites they took. Much to everyone’s surprise, Angelababy swept the competition by eating 49 bites in total.
