If you’re anything like us, you were on the edge of your seat watching Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story. And no, it wasn’t just the gripping finale that had us hooked. We couldn’t take our eyes off the luminous, glass-like complexions of leading ladies like Zoe Tay, Jesseca Liu, and Jeanette Aw. There must be something in the air—or perhaps the kuehs!

Fortunately, the cast has been generous in sharing the skincare products and wellness practices that help them maintain that ethereal, on-screen glow. Here’s what they’ve let us in on:

Jesseca Liu, 46 & Jeanette Aw, 45: Nourishing Serums

1/5

Both actresses are loyal fans of Dior’s Prestige Le Nectar Integral, the House’s most potent formula to date. This luxurious serum combines rose de Granville extract with rosapeptide molecules to hydrate, firm, and fortify the skin.

“Pure skincare magic,” Jesseca wrote on Instagram. Jeanette echoed the praise, adding: “It glides on like an essence, nourishes like an oil, and perfects like a serum, leaving skin soft, smooth, and radiant.”

Zoe Tay, 57: Mind Your Salt

2/5

For Ah Jie, beauty starts from within. In collaboration with the Health Promotion Board, Zoe emphasised the importance of reducing salt intake to maintain overall wellness and skin clarity.

“When dining out, ask for less soy sauce. If you’re cooking, try ingredients like ginger, onions, garlic, and rosemary instead of salt,” she advised. She also recommended lemon juice, vinegar, and black pepper as healthier flavour boosters. “Let’s work together to incorporate these healthy habits into our routine and reduce the strain on our bodies.”

Dawn Yeoh, 38: Keep It Moving

3/5

Playing a mother in the series, Dawn credits her toned physique to staying active, hitting the gym twice a week. “Shedding three kilograms in seven days and some rest and recreation looks good on me,” she quipped in a recent post.

Jeanette Aw: Glowy, Natural Makeup Staples

4/5

Jeanette doesn’t just shine on screen—her go-to makeup is all about subtle radiance. She swears by the Dior Forever Hydra Glow Cushion and Rouge Dior Veil lipstick for that fresh, barely-there look.

“Glammed up with #DiorForever Hydra Glow Cushion (in the Limited Edition Pink Cannage case 💖) and #RougeDior Veil in 688 Voile de Rose,” she captioned her snap.

5/5

When it comes to vacay skincare, Jojo doesn’t take chances. During an island escape to Labuan Bajo, she shared: “Never applied so many layers of sunblock in my life EVER. I mean, I was warned by my doc and beautician — your freckles are surfacing and they are the hardest to deal with.”

She makes sure to use coral-safe sun protection, layering muds, lotions, and oils to keep her skin guarded and glowing.
