Being in showbiz means she always had to keep her skin in tip-top condition, which explains why she spent her younger days being extremely committed to detailed and extensive routines. However, Fann no longer keeps to her multi-step routine. Since becoming a mother, she has scaled back on her skincare routine to just include the absolute necessities like cleanser, moisturiser and eye cream.

As someone who spent her entire adult life in the spotlight, she’s used to wearing heavy makeup for filming or attending events throughout the years. To ensure that her complexion stays luminous and smooth, Fann places a lot of emphasis on cleansing her skin thoroughly.
And she has her mother to thank for instilling this practice into her since she was young so it has become a habit. Even when she’s extremely tired after a long day of work, she never rushes through her cleansing so she always goes to bed with clean skin.
One look at how radiant and translucent her complexion is and you won’t be surprised that Fann Wong never skips her sunscreen. But she doesn’t just apply sunscreen to her face, she also makes sure to protect the skin on her body from the sun’s damaging rays as she is also conscientious with top-to-toe sun protection when she’s filming outdoors. Needless to say, she does the same for Zed when she’s out and about with him.
Living in a climate like Singapore’s means we are subject to drastic temperature changes throughout the day as we go from the hot and humid outdoors to the chilly indoors.
This change in humidity and temperature can cause dryness in our skin, especially around our lips as it’s the only area of our facial skin that doesn’t contain sebum glands so it’s unable to lubricate itself.
No wonder Fann Wong keeps a lip balm with her everywhere she goes. And that’s not all, she’s also said to have a lip balm stashed in her car and in her husband, Christopher Lee’s car.
On top of cutting her routine short and just sticking to the essentials, Fann also opts of fuss-free, multi-tasking products to help her save time from her daily routine.
Thanks to the nature of her job, frequent traveling and exposure to a wide range of climate conditions can cause problems for her skin. Moreover, as her skin is prone to sensitivity and redness, it is tricky to frequently switch products without causing further irritation.
So she believes in the importance of knowing one’s skin type so you can properly address various issues when they pop up.
Ensuring that you drink enough water is the basic step to take for better health. From your vital organs to skin health, everything works better when you have a sufficient amount of water in your system. No wonder Fann Wong makes it a point to drink enough water for plumper skin.
In addition to staying hydrated, Fann Wong also supplements her nutritional intake with dietary supplements and making sure that she loads up on antioxidants. Her favourites include berries like blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. She also likes drinking orange juice for that antioxidant boost to keep cellular inflammation at bay.
According to Fann, she likes to go bare-faced when she’s off-duty. It could be that she’s just out running errands or having a family day out with her son, she no longer sweats the small stuff and doesn’t mind being photographed without wearing a trace of makeup.
Fann Wong also commits to regular exercise because she’s a firm believer that when she feels good, she looks good as well. Plus, she also pay special attention to surfaces that she skin comes in contact with (including her pillowcases and her hair) because there’s no point in caring for your skin if these things will only make your skin dirty.
