The Taiwanese pop star showed off her radiant skin in a makeup-free selfie before hitting the sack. Her well-maintained complexion does require some work. It seems the baby-faced singer even has a name for her whitening regime, the “whitening triangle”, which involves a rigid skincare routine, exercise and diet. When it comes to skincare, she never fails to include a whitening essence as it will penetrate the deepest into the skin.

She will also use serums in place of masks. If she is filming or on set, she will slap on some sunscreen, whether it’s a sunscreen or makeup base infused with SPF to protect her skin from the sun. To complete the triange, she eats foods loaded with vitamin c and engages in exercises like running and yoga to remove toxins in her body and stimulate skin cell renewal.
