Hongkong actress Carman Lee sure knows a thing or two about maintaining one’s youthful good looks. At 54 years old, the “Most Beautiful Xiao Long Nu” still wows people with her ageless beauty and super fit bod.

So, how does she do it?

Well, we’ll let her tell you herself. Last Saturday (Jun 19), Carman uploaded a six-minute clip on social media platform Xiaohongshu and went into detail about her personal anti-ageing methods.

“To be honest, who isn’t afraid of ageing? I’m afraid too, but being afraid is useless, and we should face it proactively,” she wrote in the caption. “So I want to share three things that I believe are helpful in fighting against ageing.”

Her first tip, which she emphasised was very important, is getting enough sleep. Carman makes sure she gets at least 10 hours of shut-eye every night, unless there are special circumstances, such as needing to work long hours.

That’s not all. She also revealed her bedtime routine in the video where she was seemingly barefaced.

Before she hits the sack, Carman says she combs her hair with a wooden brush at least 50 times on each side, as well as the front and back. According to her, this helps to improve blood circulation in the scalp, and helps with getting a good night’s sleep.

Besides that, she also likes to spritz on a bit of her favourite perfume. “When you sleep well and are in good spirits, your skin will definitely be in great condition, she quipped.

Secondly, the fitness buff and yoga enthusiast recommended exercising, which she has been doing for over 20 years. This can increase one’s metabolism and help the body to resist the effects of ageing.

Carman personally favours equipment-based anaerobic exercises, which are high-intensity workouts completed in a short amount of time, such as weightlifting, sprinting, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

Last but not least, Carman said one should choose the right anti-ageing skincare products. She has been using a serum from luxury beauty label Helena Rubinstein to boost collagen, along with a night cream from the same brand.

“Lately, I haven’t been able to get 10 hours of sleep, so I need to target the wrinkles and fine lines around my eye area,” she said, applying the serum and cream on camera to demonstrate.

We guess Carman’s pointers really do pay off — at least for her — ‘cos netizens couldn’t help but gush over her skin, which looked bright and smooth even without makeup.
