Beauty Tips, Celebrities Steal these beauty tips from The Glory’s Song Hye-kyo – one of them includes washing her face with milk!
Revenge’s not easy, but The Glory‘s Song Hye-kyo (playing Moon Dong-eun) makes it look effortless. The only crime here could be how she looks ageless and absolutely stunning while scheming.
Although we wouldn’t recommend dedicating your whole life to ruminating in hatred and settling the scores with your enemies (which could give you more wrinkles instead of relief instead), we’re especially intrigued by how the Korean star maintains her porcelain skin.

Even in her 40s, Song Hye-kyo remains ageless with an angelic face and enviable glow. Naturally, we did a little digging and found out some of her beauty secrets.
At the core of her captivating beauty, as one of the most loved and recognised faces in K-dramas, Hye-kyo puts in the work of maintaining her skin, looks, and figure.
Utilising just milk, and not milk-infused beauty products, may not be extremely common in the 21st century, but it was proven to be beneficial for the skin since ancient times.

Cleopatra was known for taking milk baths while Poppaea also bathed in milk and used fermented yoghurt for her skincare as well. It’s no wonder Hye-kyo’s beauty is reminiscent of a queen and empress.
For Hye-kyo, she warms up her milk and pours it directly onto her face at the last stage of her cleansing routine. The AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) and abundant minerals in milk keep the skin healthy by providing moisture and nutrients. It also helps to remove dead skin cells.
In an SCMP video, Hye-kyo shared that she starts her routine with Sulwhasoo’s Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water EX before moving on to the essence and cream. Then, she finishes it off with a sheet mask.

Hye-kyo’s collection of skincare consists of all things Sulwhasoo, but her favourite is the highly popular ginseng line which serves as a powerful and cutting-edge anti-ageing solution.
In case you didn’t know, BLACKPINK’s Rosé and her mum swear by Sulwhasoo’s products too, calling it “more than just a beauty brand” and saying “there’s nothing better than this”.
And like most of us ladies, celebrity or not, Hye-kyo takes care of her skin by doing facial treatments whenever she’s able to.

There’s a plethora of facials that offer to address different skin and beauty concerns, with some of the more common ones being for anti-ageing, V-shape lifting, and skin firming and sculpting.
We’re not quite sure what facials Hye-kyo does, but the key thing when it comes to facials is to understand what your skin needs are. You know yourself (and your skin) the best!
If you’re new to facials, consult a professional to analyse your skin’s conditions before they recommend a suitable treatment or a personalised one for you. Check out our salon finder here for exclusive deals and to book your facial appointments.

Beauty comes from within too. Besides taking care of her skin, Hye-kyo also tries to exercise regularly. Her go-to for fitness is yoga and aerobic exercises. She even runs along the Han River when she’s free!
We all know that walking your furry friends also acts as a form of exercise and Hye-kyo seems to do that pretty often.
Hye-kyo expressed that her skin condition improves when she exercises and sweats. We couldn’t agree more! Exercising does wonders for both your mental health and your skin’s health — when you feel good, you’ll look good.

Plus, exercising improves blood circulation which leads to better vitality, the efficient removal of toxins from our bodies, and more effective cellular repair and replacement.! The story is extremely brutal and showcases the harsh realities of Korean society as a young woman, who was bullied to the point of deciding to drop out of school, plans the best way to get revenge.
The leading actress in the show is iconic star Song Hye Kyo, and during the show, she impressed fans with her unbelievable acting that really immerses viewers into the storyline.
After the first series ended earlier in the year, netizens couldn’t hide their excitement when a second series was announced, and it’s less than 24 hours until the premiere.

In the press conference, Song Hye Kyo shocked fans when she revealed just how much she did to prepare for the scene, including the diet she followed and how it impacted both herself personally and the scene.
I dieted diligently for that scene. I only ate bananas for three days, and I didn’t even drink water the day before. Because of this, I felt like dying while putting on the special effect makeup. I think the scene came out better because my body was going through hardships. — Song Hye Kyo
The look itself took around 4-5 hours to put on. It wasn’t surprising that Song Hye Kyo revealed the impact it had on her skin and why it was so memorable.

As always, the world of acting is far from the glitz and glamor people expect. While red carpets and events are nice, the stars put in blood, sweat, and tears to prepare for the role and create a character that resonates with viewers.
