We’ve got a long list of Asian actresses that we look up to, and Chinese actress Zhao Lusi is one of them.
You might recognise her from her roles in Oh! My Emperor, Love Better than Immortality, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, and Dating in the Kitchen.
The actress has shared her beauty tips, including a very fascinating “lose weight while on your period” method that has been trending online.
Zhao Lusi’s Beauty Tips
She Loves Her Wet Wipes

Zhao Lusi firmly believes that maintaining good skin is achievable as long as you thoroughly cleanse your face.
As part of her skincare routine, after washing her face, she takes an extra step by delicately wiping her entire face with skin-friendly wet wipes. She pays special attention to the oily T-zone, gently removing any remaining makeup and grime.
She Layers Her Creamy and Watery Products
One thing that Zhao Lusi is very particular about is the sequence of product applications. She always gently applies moisturising lotion onto her face first before applying a layer of cream.
After the products are absorbed, she adds more lotion. According to her, the alternating layers of creamy and watery products can reduce stickiness and improve hydration.
She Regularly Uses Mud Masks

On her personal social media, this Chinese actress shared that she applies a cleansing mud mask at least once a week. She leaves the mud mask on for about 10 to 15 minutes before carefully rinsing everything off with warm water.
This routine not only eliminates impurities and excess oil, but also gives her skin a rejuvenating and refreshing cleanse.
By consistently using a cleansing mud mask in her skincare regimen, she guarantees that her pores stay unclogged and her complexion stays glowing.
She Never Skips Sunscreen
It is no surprise to us that Zhao Lusi is diligent with sunscreen application regardless of weather or season.
Even with sunscreen on, she still wears a hat and a pair of sunglasses sometimes to further protect her skin from UV exposure – no wonder her skin looks so youthful and bouncy!
Zhao Lusi’s “Lose Weight While on Your Period” Exercise

While most people feel miserable during that time of the month, Zhao Lusi believes that the hormonal cycle is the best time for weight loss.
Zhao Lusi shares her “menstrual weight loss method”, which combines exercise and dieting right before and when you’re on your period, and she says it can let you easily lose three kilograms within a week.
Exercise 1: Sit Cross-Legged (1–2 Days Before Menstruation)
Before your menstruation begins, do some light exercise by sitting cross-legged on the ground and then pressing your weight down your whole body.
Extend your hands to the front and continue holding this action for at least 30 seconds. You should feel a little pressure on your inner thighs.
Exercise 2: Kneeling Baby Pose (1–3 Days During Menstruation)
As the first few days of menstruation are the most uncomfortable, you can try this light exercise. Simply put your legs together, sit down, and curl your body together like a foetus. Hold this position for 30 seconds to a minute.
What’s great is that this stretch can relieve abdominal discomfort too.
Exercise 3: Cross-Leg Stretching (4–5 Days During Menstruation)
Towards the end of your menstruation cycle, during the fourth or fifth day, you can do this stretching exercise.
Open one leg straight to the side, lean forward, and slowly press down toward the ground. After one minute, switch to the other leg.
