Claudia Kim Keeps Her Skin Youthful by Applying Toner 14 Times a Day, Even at 39

We’ve been big fans of Kim Soo-hyun or Claudia Kim ever since her debut in the television series Queen of the Game back in 2006.

You may have also seen her in international films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Knowing that she’s only 39 this year, we’re amazed by how youthful she looks.

Want to have a piece of her beauty secrets? Read on for a compilation of beauty tips she’s shared that we’ve put together.

She Loves To Exercise

Since her role as the warrior princess Khutulun in Netflix’s show Marco Polo, she has been really into ju-jitsu. She also loves horse-riding, wrestling, and sword-fighting.

Exercise is said to help to de-puff her face in the morning, and she said that her cheeks and nose look more defined after a good workout, as sweating it out reduces water retention.

Pilates is another key component of her routine, helping to strengthen her core, enhance stability, and improve flexibility, which contributes to her overall muscle tone, posture, and coordination.

She Likes Using Sheet Masks

Sheet masks are a favourite of Claudia Kim. She finds them incredibly practical for travel due to their convenience and effectiveness.

According to her, these masks often go under-appreciated despite their quick results. Whether she’s on a plane, in a car, or anywhere else, Claudia values how easy it is to incorporate them into her routine.

The instant hydration and rejuvenation they provide make them an essential part of her beauty regimen.

She Emphasises a Lot on Hydration

Another well-sounding advice that was passed down to Claudia from her mother is to hydrate her skin conscientiously.

To create glossy and healthy-looking skin, Claudia would layer moisturisers to keep her skin well-hydrated.

She Uses Bottled Water To Cleanse Her Skin

Claudia opts for bottled water to cleanse her skin while traveling. It’s a gentler choice than tap water and reduces the risk of irritation.

She also follows her family’s tip of using rice water for washing her face, as it’s packed with vitamins and minerals and makes a great natural toner.

She Is Picky With Her Makeup

One of the things Claudia’s mother taught her when she was young is to be aware of her skin tone and condition. This way, she would be able to choose the right makeup to wear.

She’s also a fan of using cushion compacts and concealers to hide any blemishes on her relatively clear face.

She Loves Having Dark Chocolate

Who doesn’t love chocolate?

The actress cannot help adding coffee beans and 100% dark chocolate into her healthy protein shakes.

Dark chocolate is known to be highly nutritious and loaded with antioxidants, and is said to help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.

She Has an Eight-Step Skincare Routine

We’re not surprised that this South Korean celebrity has a lengthy skincare regimen, including oil cleansing.

She constantly changes the products she uses because she prefers not to rely on the same ones. She believes that our skin is continuously changing and that you need different creams for various seasons.

She Takes Evening Primrose Supplements

Allergies are Claudia’s top concern, given that the dust in South Korea can be quite harsh and harmful, especially to those with sensitive skin.

Her doctor then prescribed evening primrose supplements to help with this, as they can improve premenstrual syndrome symptoms and overall skin health.

She Loves Playing Around With Lipsticks

Although her go-to shades her soft sands and corals, Claudia doesn’t just stick to the same lip shades.

When she’s in the mood for something more fun, she reaches for a bright red or a purple lip, which she says can help her skin appear brighter due to the contrast.

She Applies Toner to Her Face at Least 14 Times a Day

Claudia Kim applies toner to her face at least seven times in the morning and another seven times right before bed. She loves using soothing, oil-controlling toners and takes time throughout the day to swipe, pat, and repeat.

She Took Private Classes With a Makeup Expert

When she was young, Claudia’s mother was quite strict with her and she was not allowed to wear any makeup.

Instead, Claudia had to attend private classes with a makeup expert. She was only allowed to apply her own makeup after 20 classes.

She Never Leaves Home Without Her Favourite Fragrances

Fragrance is something this actress cannot do without, as she loves anything that smells good. This is why she always carries perfume or essential oils with her.

She especially loves lavender or cedarwood scents and says that essential oils can help ward off sickness.

She Loves Saunas and Massages

Saunas and massages are some of her favourite activities. Whenever she is back in South Korea, she loves going to the Conrad Seoul hotel sauna.

She also enjoys dry massages and foot massages once or twice a week to help soothe her aching body due to her intensive workouts.

She Carries Multiple Types of Sunblock

We’re amazed to find out that Claudia Kim always carries multiple types of sunblock—both sprays and creams. Her bag also has cleansing water, facial masks, candles, perfumes, and her favourite tea sachets.

She Follows a Fish-Based Diet

Claudia Kim follows a pescatarian diet, mainly eating fish and plant-based foods. Fish gives her high-quality protein, which helps keep her muscles strong and supports overall health.

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish also boost metabolism and reduce body fat. Her diet also includes lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which are full of fiber and nutrients that help with weight management and digestion.

She Satisfies Cravings with Scent

To satisfy her sweet tooth, Claudia enjoys the aroma of sweet treats instead of eating them.

While this might not be easy for everyone, cutting back on sugar and adding more proteins, veggies, and fruits can help manage cravings and keep you full.
