At 58, Michelle Yeoh Has All The Secrets To Flawless Skin
Actress Michelle Yeoh may have won you over playing the gatekeeper mom of Henry Golding in Crazy Rich Asians, but the seasoned actress has been making movie magic for years. She's played Bond girl Colonel Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies, geisha doyenne Mameha in Memoirs of a Geisha; and Yu Shu Lien in Ang Lee’s wuxia epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (just to name a few.) She's also a former pageant queen (she won the title of Miss Malaysia in 1983 at the age of 20) and ballet dancer. As someone used to the spotlight, it comes as no surprise that she's managed to maintain her flawless complexion through the decades.
While the 58-year-old actress has shared a few skincare staples she loves, it could also be her daredevil spirit that's kept her young. “We had wild times,” Michelle told InStyle, referencing her time working with Jackie Chan. “People thought we were using green screens. Jackie and I would look at each other, like, ‘What green screen?’” No, she doesn't perform her own stunts anymore, but she does have a strict masking schedule. Keep reading for some of Michelle's anti-aging tips.

She uses this skincare duo for glowing skin.
In 2019, InStyle shared that Michelle uses a two step duo of Augustinus Bader moisturizer and Tatcha smoothing essence to create her glowing skin. Augustinus Bader has become synonymous with celeb skincare routines so while it does come with a hefty price tag, it has the clientele and glowing reviews to prove it's a winner.
She always applies SPF.
Stylist reported in 2014 that Michelle is also a fan of sun protection. "I also used to suntan back in the '80s when it was trendy to do so. But I noticed that doing so aged my skin, so I stopped and now, I never go anywhere without slapping on sunscreen first." Harper's Bazaar confirmed Michelle's love for SPF and said that the actress credits her grandmother.

She uses a sheet mask every day.
When The Cut asked Michelle's makeup artist, Sabrina Bedrani, if she really uses a sheet mask once a day she replied, "she does!" Sabrina went on to explain, "She is very, very good about her skin care. Every time I show up, she’s already got a mask or eye patches on. I bring them in my bag with me, but I never need to use them, she’s always prepared. She travels a lot, not just New York to L.A. but from Canada to Bali to Shanghai. She’s always on those 14-hour flights and she keeps her skin incredibly hydrated."
