Vietnamese beauties, who always have to maintain a flawless image in the public eye, naturally have to be careful and meticulous about their daily skin and hair care routines. Take a look at Thanh Hang, Ho Ngoc Ha, and Bao Thy… all women in their 30s but with skin that remains radiant, regardless of the season.
Bao Thy, Thanh Hang, and Ho Ngoc Ha boast smooth, soft, and non-greasy skin in their 30s.
And despite having waist-length hair like Hien Thuc, Doan Trang, or Pham Huong,… or frequently styling her hair like Huyen Baby, they all manage to maintain smooth and sleek tresses even during the hot summer months.
Of course, to achieve this, each of these beauties has her own secrets, which other women can draw inspiration from to achieve their own perfect summer look.
1. Use sunscreen
Sunscreen is a must in any skincare routine, regardless of the season, but especially so during the summer. The sun’s UV rays can damage your skin, so using sunscreen can prevent sun damage, sunburn, dark spots, and acne.
2. Don’t forget to moisturize
Some women may think that during the summer, with higher humidity, skipping moisturizer will prevent their skin from feeling greasy. In fact, moisturizer is essential for all skin types and should be used year-round, just like sunscreen.
Vietnamese celebrities like Bao Thy and Ho Ngoc Ha prioritize skin hydration. While Bao Thy, the “Bubble Princess,” favors Vaseline, which contains petroleum and has excellent moisturizing properties, Ha Ho opts for hydrating and water-based face masks.
3. Wash your hands regularly
You may find it surprising, but hand washing is indeed connected to skincare. Our hands come into contact with various surfaces, objects, and substances throughout the day, accumulating bacteria, dirt, and other impurities. Applying skincare products with unclean hands can undo all your hard work and harm your skin.
4. Exfoliate weekly
Exfoliation is an essential part of any skincare routine, especially for those who experience oily skin during the summer. It helps control oil production, removes dead skin cells, prevents clogged pores, and enhances the absorption of other oil-controlling products. Look for gentle exfoliators that won’t dry out your skin.
5. Wash your hair properly
It’s inevitable to sweat more during the hot weather, and this can lead to greasy and dusty hair. The intense sunlight can also cause hair to become dry and brittle. This dilemma has some women washing their hair twice a day.
However, washing your hair frequently or multiple times a day may not solve the problem of greasy or sun-damaged hair if you’re not doing it correctly.
Huyen Baby was recently awarded the Best Hair of The Years by Elle magazine.
The mother of one, Huyen Baby, shared her secret to achieving healthy and shiny hair. Instead of applying shampoo directly to her scalp, she lathers it in her hands first and then applies it to her hair. This method ensures a thorough cleanse while preventing shampoo buildup.
6. Use hair masks and conditioners
Just like how we have face masks and creams, there are specialized products for hair care as well. Most experts agree that applying a hair mask or deep conditioner once a week at home is enough to keep your hair in good condition.
