Bright-eyed South Korean superstar Im Yoona, 33, does it all: she is a member of popular 2nd-gen k-pop group Girls’ Generation and has starred in multiple binge-worthy dramas like Big Mouth and more recently King The Land alongside 2PM’s Lee Jun-Ho. On top of that, Yoona, has also been the Asia-Pacific face of cosmetics company Estee Lauder since 2020.

If you’ve been wondering how the “When The Wind Blows” singer takes care of herself (and her glistening complexion) considering all the things she has on her plate, you are certainly not alone.

And when Yoona, who was in town on Thursday (Sep 28) to attend a few events by Estee Lauder, divulged all of her best-kept beauty tips and secrets, trust us – we’re all ears. 

Even though she is one of the world’s most recognisable faces with access to industry experts and the best skincare products, Yoona has a surprisingly fuss-free approach to beauty. 

As you might expect, the fresh-faced star’s routine is heavy on skincare. She also stressed the importance of paying attention to her lifestyle choices and listening to her body. 

“I personally believe that your skin condition is dependent on how well you eat and whether you are getting enough rest. On top of that, it’s important to leave your troubled skin alone (don’t touch it unless your hands are clean!) and make sure to cleanse thoroughly. Moisturising is also a crucial step in any routine. With time, I believe that your skin concerns will get better.”

Here, the multi-hypenate who sat down with us after a satisfying chilli crab lunch reveals her go-to lipstick shade, why the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair is her current skincare obsession and that when it comes to beauty, less is truly more. 

You have been working with Estee Lauder since 2020. What is your favourite product from the brand and has that changed over the years?

1/8

From the beginning till now, the one that I (still) love is Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum. When I first became the face of the brand, it was also when the formula was renewed. That’s why I have extra affection towards it. This is also why I still love it till now.

How do you usually use the Advanced Night Repair serum? Do you have any special application tips?

2/8

Take one dropper of the serum and warm it up in your palms before patting it into your skin, focusing on the cheek area for an added massage effect.

We love the lip colour that you’re sporting today. Could you tell us more about it?

3/8

The lip colour that I’m wearing today is 420 rebellious rose from Estee Lauder. It is one of my favourite shades and it’s so comfortable to wear and long-lasting. Plus, it’s flattering on all skin tones.

You mentioned previously the Advanced Night Repair is a staple in your routine especially when you want to decompress and unwind. What does the rest of your beauty routine look like on your days off?

4/8

On my days off, I want to give my skin a “day off” too. I try not to wear too much makeup and I focus on skincare.

How do you relax after a busy day of events?

5/8

I usually check on the reviews, feedback and photos that my fans have uploaded. After that, I usually kick back with dramas or movies and finish the rest of my daily tasks.

What is your nighttime routine for healthy skin in the morning?

6/8

My schedule is really packed. There are days where I can’t get a good night’s sleep. That is when I use the Advanced Night Repair Serum. It helps me to look more well-rested. I recommend you guys to try it as well.

You have been a role model to many since you made your debut in 2007. What would you say is the biggest tip to be more comfortable and confident in your own skin?

7/8

There’s one phrase that I always tell myself and others – love yourself. When you love yourself, you have more confidence and self-esteem. Because (your) inner beauty shines through, it’ll translate into outer beauty.

What are your top three travel beauty essentials?

8/8

Lipstick, cushion and skincare. I can’t go anywhere without my lipstick. For skincare, I especially like the travel-sized version of the Advanced Night Repair.
