Yes, Koreans are blessed with amazing skin, but Son Ye-jin is one who knows that it still needs maintenance. She won't look this amazing at 38 if the lady didn't take care of herself! According to Korea Herald, a skincare tip she swears by is facial cleansing using a steam towel. This opens up pores and preps it for deeper cleansing!

She looks almost the same as the time she debuted over 20 years ago, so we know she's doing something right! Back in 2017, she told Female Mag Singapore that before, she used to do just facial masks twice a week, but she has since then upped her routine by doing it daily! Masks, especially Korean sheet masks infused with all the anti-aging, skin-loving ingredients are popular for the very reason that they are able to preserve youthfulness and add much-needed moisture and nutrition for the skin.

In an interview with online publication Her World Singapore, she tells them she has oily skin, so she puts extra attention to cleansing. She also admits that even as a Korean woman, she finds it hard maintaining 10 steps in one's skincare routine. The key is to listen to your individual needs! In her case, it's just one to two steps.
