Son Ye-jin

Actress, The Scandal (Netflix)

Her first series in four years, Netflix’s Joseon-era The Scandal, arrived on September 18, 2026. She fronts SkinCeuticals, a US dermatology brand we do not carry, and has said on the record that her own routine is one or two steps, not ten.

In Son Ye-jin's words

“It’s impossible to do 10 steps. In my case, having too many steps is too much. I prefer something simple, around one to two steps.”
“I have oily skin, so putting on too many ingredients is not good for my skin.”
“I realised that my skin is oily, so I need to cleanse every morning. Even when my schedule ends late at night, I would still cleanse my face.”
“Facial masks are one of the must-brings for me when I go overseas.”
