From South Korea to Thailand, Asians have their own way of looking young and there are no short cuts to this. Their motivation and consistency play major roles in keeping themselves looking beautiful, even at 50 years old.

Here at Bright Side, we are no strangers to Asian beauty hacks. For this list, we chose the tips that we believe can help you age gracefully.

1. Use rice water

Rice water is a famous ingredient in many Japanese and Korean skincare products and a study has shown that rice water contains anti-aging properties and that it lightens your skin. You can either try skincare products with rice water in them or simply make it at home. You can wash your face with it before cleansing or use it as a mist to hydrate the skin.

Rice water can also be used to soften and shine your hair. It’s important to use clean rice water as you wouldn’t want impurities on your skin or hair.

2. Double cleanse your face

One of the best ways to take care of the skin is to use sheet masks and especially sheet masks with anti-aging ingredients that help with collagen. They’re practical to use and come with many benefits including skin brightening. They are perfect when it comes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
