There's no denying that Song Joong Ki is among the Hallyu actors with perfectly flawless skin. Interestingly, this baby-faced star is making millions endorsing a slew of beauty brands which includes Forencos Cosmetics, Schwarzkopf, Chinese cosmetic company Proya to name a few.
However, if you think South Korean stars have complicated beauty routines featuring the 10-step skin care, it's a different story for the "Descendants of the Sun" actor.
Song Joong Ki Skin Care: Hallyu Star Prefers Going Back to Basics
According to reports, Song Joong Ki's skin care routine includes cleansing his face with milk.
Although it might sound lavish as at what the former Egyptian queen, Cleopatra used to bathe, the actor makes sure to focus on mild products for his delicate skin.
Interestingly, there's a science behind the actor's unique regime.
As mentioned by Healthline.com, milk contains vitamin A, D, E, K and lactic acid, which are popular in anti-aging products.
Moreover, it can be used as a mild exfoliating agent to remove dead skin cells and moisturize them with milk's hydrating component.
On the other hand, masks with milk ingredients help clear dark spots, all thanks to its lactic acid; however, Healthline noted that it shouldn't be a substitute face cleanser since there's no clinical evidence that shows using milk is better than mild soap and water.
Song Joong Ki Skin Care Tip: Eat Apples and Less on Cosmetics
In South Korea, makeup is not just for females but also males; this is the reason why some K-drama actors like the "Vincenzo" star and even Song Kang endorses beauty products.
However, unlike women, men tend to have lighter makeup, mostly used to conceal blemishes and even out the skin stone.

One trick that the 36-year-old Hallyu star swears by is minimizing cosmetics use. Probably one main reason is that it tends to block pores.
It is safe to say that Song Joong Ki's skin care routine focuses on the skin and not the products he uses.
During his guest appearance on SBS' "Midnight TV Entertainment," he revealed that one way to take care of his skin is by eating apples and yogurt every day, adding, "At the same time, I also try to take care of my health and my skin as well through regular motions."
Apples contain Vitamins A, B complex and C, which could help get rid of pathogens and excess oil. In addition, regularly eating apples helps with skin brightening and correcting uneven skin tone.
Apart from it, the actor makes sure that he makes sure to eliminate exposure to pollutants-in his case, smoking.
Capping of Song Joong Ki's skin care routine is using sunscreen and ending the day with a mask or pack.
