Even during “confinement”: 4 times Jolin Tsai went makeup-free

Our forever natural beauty. We love the Womxnly singer’s effortlessly laid-back vibe from her Puma windbreaker to those tousled, bodacious waves and fresh, makeup-free glow.

Jolin keeps it refreshingly real whether she’s opening up about water retention and bloating or sharing her creative hobbies. In this Instagram post, the singer sports a self-crocheted hat, showing off her naturally voluminous hair and baby-soft skin, with not a lick of makeup on.

The seven-time Golden Melody Award winner paired her enviable beachy curls with a fresh, rosy complexion and just a swipe of clear balm, once again proving that sometimes, less really is more.

Showing off her funny side, the charismatic singer who doesn’t have kids embraced her au naturel look, posting a fresh-faced selfie alongside a tongue-in-cheek caption: “I haven’t taken a selfie in a while,” with the hashtag #confinement.

Want to follow Jolin’s lead and ditch the makeup? Here are a few of her go-to tips to help you feel confident and glow naturally—no filters, no fuss.

Besides cleansing, moisturising, and applying SPF, incorporating a serum is a great way to deliver potent actives into your routine. Jolin, who is the face of J-beauty brand Elixir, relies on the cult-favorite The Serum, which harnesses the anti-aging properties of 21 ingredients including the patented CoreXymide and Youth Accelerator Technology that boost skin rejuvenation.

The Taiwanese singer-songwriter is diligent about caring for her skin. To her, “just like a mirror, your skin is a reflection of your mood and sleep habits.” “What does your skin say today? Is it in a good mood?” she asked her 4.8 million followers on Instagram. Jolin follows a particular methodology to maintain her luminous complexion: she first balances her skin with the moisture-boosting Elixir Bouncing Moisture Lotion, then locks in hydration with the Bouncing Moisture Emulsion.

The Stars Align singer has found success with the powerhouse anti-ageing ingredient retinol. (Her go-to? The Retinol Power Wrinkle Smoothing Cream from Elixir.) Widely regarded as the gold standard for boosting cellular turnover, retinol helps tackle redness, inflammation, and enlarged pores while also reducing the appearance of imperfections like blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots.

A big reason Jolin hasn’t aged a day since stepping into the spotlight with her 1999 hit Living with the World? Sun protection. She’s diligent about shielding her complexion from harmful UV rays and swears by Elixir’s Day Care Revolution SPF50+ PA++++, which not only protects but also delivers a boost of hydration.

Jolin exudes youthful energy and a big part of that comes from how well she cares for her skin. But she doesn’t stop there. She also invests in her oral hygiene, crediting her gleaming smile to Crest’s whitening formula.

Jolin is a firm believer in the inside-out approach to beauty and wellness. In her Pleasure Talks podcast, the dancing diva revealed that a recent bout of jet lag from a U.S. trip prompted her to start sleeping early sometimes as early as 9 p.m. as a “promise she made to her body.” “Being disciplined gives us freedom,” she quipped, sharing that going to bed earlier has allowed her to do more each day, helping her perform at her best and showcase her most radiant self.
