In a 2015 appearance on the variety show Happy Together, South Korean actress Jang Na-ra asserted that she’s definitely not a vampire, finally addressing the half-joking speculations of fans looking to explain her age-defying looks.

So just how does the 41-year-old Sell Your Haunted House star look half her age? Ahead, we’ve gathered some of the cherub-faced beauty’s fountain of youth secrets — from her healthy habits to her daily face massage routine. You’re welcome.

Do a 10-minute face massage daily

Since making her debut in 2001, her enviable luminous complexion has had beauty lovers eager to know about her skincare routine. Thankfully, her secret to plump, juicy skin is actually super achievable. The actress swears by a face massage to stimulate circulation and reduce puffiness while lifting, toning and sculpting. According to Jang Na-ra, this technique can be used when you cleanse. She starts her face massage by warming up an oil cleanser in her hands before applying. Next, she places her knuckles on her chin before pulling the knuckles upwards along the jawline, toward the ears.

Then, she places her knuckles on her cheeks (near the nose bridge) before swiping it gently across her cheeks, toward her ears.

Moving on to the eye area, Jang Na-ra gently places her knuckles on the inner corners of her eyes before creating outward strokes towards her temples.

Finally to relax her eyes and prevent the formation of pesky crow’s feet and dark eye circles, she uses her index fingers to apply pressure on her nose bridge.

Go makeup-free as often as possible

Jang Na-ra shared this barefaced selfie on Twitter where she looked fresher than we’ve ever felt, confirming speculations that she is indeed ageing backwards. She might spend hours in the makeup chair for special events and filming but Jang Na-ra always makes sure to give her skin opportunities to breathe. Since a barrier of makeup can increase oil production, going au naturel can decrease oiliness, clogged pores and pimples. It’s no wonder she has such good skin.

Exfoliate regularly

An excessive accumulation of dead skin cells can result in a dull complexion. As such, Jang Na-ra aims to exfoliate her skin at least once a week to reveal youthful, brighter skin while clearing out the pores.

Try a hot and cold masking technique
custom

Jang Na-ra’s masking routine consists of three steps. The first involves a warm compress on the face using a towel dampened with warm water. Following that she applies a facial sheet mask of choice. Once the time is up, she pats on a generous layer of toner that has been in the refrigerator to close up the pores and calm the skin.

Use an eyebrow serum

Sparse eyebrows are an unfortunate side-effect of the ageing process. While filling in your eyebrows can create the illusion of fuller brows, you should also follow Jang Na-ra’s lead and use a growth serum to promote brow growth instead. According to the actress’s Twitter post, she uses eyebrow growth serum religiously to enhance her brows.

And eye cream

Ageing also causes a loss of fullness around the under eyes, which can make veins and capillaries more prominent while exacerbating dark eye circles. To combat this loss of volume, Jang Na-ra religiously applies nourishing eye cream and follows it up with a massage to aid absorption.

Use a moisturising lip balm
image

Lips tend to recede and lose their natural volume and moisture as we get older. This explains why it’s so important to use lipstick shades in natural hues to fake fuller-looking lips. Jang Na-ra shows her pout some love by applying a tinted lip balm from Jung Saem Mool to add shine and hydration.

Drink lots of water

We know, broken record, but water is crucial for that healthy, lit-from-within glow. According to Elle Taiwan, Jang Na-ra drinks over two litres of water daily to stay hydrated. We’ll toast to that.

Load up on fruits and vegetables

A huge advocate for enhancing her beauty from the inside out, Jang Na-ra doubles down on green veggies, healthy fats, fruits and lean proteins. ICYDK, the actress is a huge fan of cooking and she often shares photos of her nutritious culinary creations. Most days, you’ll find her piling her plate with leafy greens and lean meats, with her Instagram feed indicating tomatoes, lotus root and carrots are among her favourites.

In addition, Jang Na-ra makes it a point to limit her intake of starches and fried foods. She also tries to consume white fungus and red date soup as much as possible for their nourishing qualities.

Do workouts you love

The Oh My Baby star not only has flawless skin, but she’s fit too, as demonstrated in this picture. Aerial yoga is a full-body exercise that combines strength and flexibility. Also, we have no doubt that the inversions in aerial yoga help to boost circulation and promote a more radiant complexion. Bonus: It makes for cool social media snaps like this one. Jang Na-ra sure looks good doing aerial yoga!

Go on walks

Staying in shape is not easy, but the South Korean actress manages to make it look so effortless. Jang Na-ra may have a packed schedule, but always makes sure to fit exercises such as a walk in there with any free time she has.

Protect yourself from the elements
custom

Seeing Jang Na-ra well-insulated from the cold, snowy weather with a beanie and face mask reminds us of the importance of protecting our skin from the elements. Extreme weather conditions can result in stress and damage to the skin, which results in inflammation that can age skin further.

In Singapore’s hot humid weather, this means to wear sunscreen and keep our skin as cool as possible.

Never sleep with makeup on
custom

We might not have the full details of everything Jang Na-ra uses on her skin, but we do know that she believes in thoroughly cleansing her skin. And her cleanser of choice? Ginkgo Natural Cleansing Tissue from Charmzone. Cleansing skin is so much more than just about preventing clogged pores. It’s also vital to rid skin of the environmental pollutants you’ve been exposed to and remove free radicals that will break down skin’s collagen and elastic tissue.

Skipping makeup whenever possible also reduces the burden you place on the skin.
