How the hell do you look so good, Jeanette Aw? 

Exquisitely expressive eyes and perfectly proportioned nose aside, the small screen princess has the skin situation down pat. Personal vouch: Having scrutinised her face up close on a couple of press pow-wows, I’m happy to report that Jeanette’s complexion is well-nigh flawless. 

Now, catty industry commentators have long murmured about the provenance of her eggshell-smooth forehead, but the 36-years-young woman works hard for her money-making mien – 45 minutes or more of sweaty skipping and jumping rope included. More bits and bobs from the beauty idol below: 

Want to look like Jeanette? Tighten up and strip it off. Being blessed with a bouncy mien must come in very handy indeed when you’re the freshly minted frontwoman for Bio-essence’s  skincare campaigns – not least when you’re an actual user of the stuff you’re touting.

Any #DieDieMustBuy items? Glad you asked. “My new favourite is definitely the Bio-essence Extra Strength Face Lifting Cream,” Jeanette says. “It helps keep my skin taut.” Yes, it appears the V-shaped visage so coveted in today’s K-Obsessed world is here to stay, for better or worse. 

What else? The ingenue credits her incandescent complexion to a careful cleansing regime: “In general, I make sure I cleanse and remove my makeup thoroughly.” As good a bit of advice as any! 

The haze doesn’t faze her. The horrid haze that has become an annual lowlight for Singapore can wreak serious havoc on your skin. The solution? Jeanette says a good scrub-down is of the essence when you’ve has been marinating in a slurry of airborne pollutants the entire day. 

“If I’m exposed to dust, I’ll use the Bio-Essence Deep Exfoliating Gel to exfoliate, as it’s really gentle and retains the natural oils on my face.” And guess what? I’m equally in love with her hero product, which hits all of my sweet spots: It’s subtly scented, completely non-abrasive and stuffed with skin-calming goodies like chamomile and tea tree oil, all of which work in tandem to clarify congested complexion. Great beauties think alike!

She’s a hardcore gym rat. Who knew?! You’d never have guessed it from her porcelain princess exterior, but this leading lady is an enthusiastic endorser of good ol’ exercise: “I believe a good beauty routine works best with exercise [because] keeping active helps lend a healthy glow to my skin.” Face flushed from straining and stretching? Go, girl!

So what’s Jeanette’s Shape magazine-worthy workout like? Lots of rope and sweat involved, apparently. “If I get home late from work and don’t have time to hit the gym, I skip for about 45 minutes right at home,” she says. “I have always been active, so if I don’t work out, I just feel like something’s missing.” 

How’s that for your daily dose of #fitspo? Now get up from that couch and start shaking. Cheers to being fresh and fabulous, lean and lithe!
