Uhm Jung-hwa Shares Secrets to Her Youthful Beauty

On February 2, Uhm Jung-hwa (엄정화), the talented singer and actress, revealed her beauty secrets in a new video on her YouTube channel, Umaizing 엄정화TV. Titled "There Are So Many Questions, So Uhm Jung-hwa is Here to Answer...", the video features Uhm directly addressing comments from her subscribers.

During the session, she discussed her skincare routine, stating, "Skin texture is something you are born with. I tend to have dry skin, so I always use salt or sugar scrubs when I shower. Afterward, I apply an oil that has more oiliness than moisture, sometimes mixing it with body cream. I also consistently use essence lotion and my favorite devices."

Uhm then showcased one of her beauty devices, explaining, "I use it frequently on both my face and body, including my arms and stomach. It’s great for areas where elasticity has decreased, like under the buttocks. There are different levels, and I prefer to use it at level five, but it can get quite hot. I recommend starting at a lower level and gradually increasing it. I’m quite accustomed to these devices, so level four feels easy for me."

Addressing the common concerns of modern life, she said, "Many people feel they lack time and money. I think these devices are great because they don’t take much time. We often don’t have time to visit dermatologists, and on our days off, we just want to rest. This doesn’t take long; you just follow the instructions and move it around. The key is consistency. I suggest investing 5 to 10 minutes for yourself while enjoying some TV or music."

Uhm also shared her experience with skin issues, recalling a time when her skin reacted badly while filming the movie 'Aurora Princess' (오로라 공주). "We had to shoot at a landfill for a week, which was filled with toxic gases, and my skin completely reacted to it. In such cases, visiting a dermatologist is essential. Some devices have a cooling mode that can help soothe the skin and improve elasticity. Aloe vera is also beneficial. I hope everyone maintains their skincare routine consistently."

She expressed her joy at receiving comments like "You don’t age" and "You look so young," stating, "Every time I see those comments, it makes me so happy and motivated. I believe the secret is consistent care. I regularly visit dermatologists, pay attention to skincare, and prepare my diet and exercise in advance, which is now showing results."

On managing stress, Uhm shared her mental care strategies: "When things get tough, it’s hard to see or hear anything else, but I try to focus on other things. I read more books, study the Bible, visit good exhibitions, and spend time with friends to avoid being alone. Just like taking medicine when we’re sick, we should seek out uplifting words and energy when our hearts are hurting. Good or bad, everything passes. The most important thing is the present moment."
