The Malaysian actress has been on an awards roll lately, but her busy schedule and constant long-haul flights haven’t stopped her from keeping a healthy skincare and fitness routine

She swears by Augustinus Bader like Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Alexa Chung, and uses Tatcha like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton – but playtime with step-granddaughter Raelyn also helps

It’s been non-stop wins for Michelle Yeoh this awards season, but her latest prize truly is the cherry on top. The Malaysian actress took home an Oscar for best actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, making her the first Asian woman in history to do so.

In her acceptance speech the 60-year-old said: “ … ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime”, and Yeoh is living proof that age doesn’t matter, crushing it when it comes to acting, martial arts, and looking fabulous to boot.

Thankfully, the actress isn’t secretive about her beauty tips, and she’s more than once let the public in on what keeps her looking youthful – her beauty queen genetics aside.

She’s devoted to her skincare heroes

These staples are revealed to be a duo of a cream and a smoothing essence, according to Women’s Health. Yeoh is said to use US$290 The Cream by Augustinus Bader, a science-backed brand that lists big names as part of its unofficial “cream cult”, from Victoria Beckham and Alexa Chung to Kim Kardashian; and US$90 The Essence by Tatcha, which likewise has A-listers and royals among its patrons, including Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

In addition, Yeoh is said to be a keen user of “The Mask” – aka The Orchidée Impériale Mask by Guerlain – per Hello! India, which retails for US$395.

She religiously slathers on SPF
