Beauty standards are always changing with the times, but having clear skin has always been a consistent one. Nowadays, the beauty industry is always churning out skin care products that claim to perform miracles on your skin, or every now and again the internet might come out with ridiculous trends to give you the clear skin of your dreams.
But if you’re going to take beauty advice from someone, why not take it from Chinese supermodel and actress Angelababy? After her career kicked off at just 14 years old, she still glows after 19 years of working in the entertainment industry, now aged 33. Starting out as a model appearing on countless magazine covers to working her way to becoming a leading lady in blockbusters, she has earned herself a reputation as a Chinese beauty icon.

Here are the tips and tricks that allow Angelababy to look gorgeous on screen.

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.

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.

In the winter, she’ll massage her face with a cream to combat her dry and dull skin. Angelababy revealed to HK01 that no matter how busy her day gets, she’ll still take the time for this step in her skin care routine to help promote blood circulation, allowing her to have a brighter complexion.

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.

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.

But despite seemingly having a naturally high metabolism, she is still very diligent with her exercise. According to HK01, she works out at the gym most days. During her downtime at home, she does light workouts like crunches or leg lifts for 15 to 30 minutes.
