In 2021, Song Hye Kyo revealed another one of her secrets to achieving flawless skin was through washing her face with milk, an ancient beauty tip used by royalty back in the days such as Cleopatra. She uses warm milk at the end of her cleansing routine to rinse her face. The AHA and abundant minerals in milk helps to soften the skin and gently remove dead skin cells while keeping the skin moisturized. Other benefits of milk on your skin include slowing the signs of aging, improving elasticity and the smoothness of your skin as well as brightening your complexion and reducing irritation.

Overall, other than taking care of her skin, Song Hye Kyo tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle, incorporating a balanced diet combined with exercising regularly. Exercise is essential for your skin health, mental and physical health. Exercising helps to improve the blood flow in your body and helps you to dispel toxins from your body through sweating. The improvement of blood circulation contributes to higher cell turnover which helps to repair the skin faster and reverse the signs of aging! Some of Song Hye Kyo's favorite fitness routines include Yoga, aerobic exercises, running, and taking walks with her dog, Pink!
