In Conversation With Taiwanese Superstar Chen Meifeng On Beauty

We got legendary Taiwanese singer and actress, Chen Meifeng to reveal some of her beauty secrets on how to stay youthful and svelte at her age.

At 59, Taiwanese artiste, Chen Meifeng (MF) boasts an enviable figure complete with youthful, well-hydrated skin. Known for her beauty and health-conscious lifestyle, the artiste also shares her tips and recipes on popular health and talk show, “A Beauty Date with Meifeng” (美凤有约).

In conjunction with the launch of Mary Chia’s Limited Edition MU V.TIVATE Mist Spray, Meifeng was recently invited by Mary Chia Holdings to hold a beauty seminar here in Singapore.

During the seminar, Meifeng shared her top three beauty secrets which are as follows:

1. Water. Meifeng shared that she always starts her day with a big glass of warm water. This routine helps to kick start her system by hydrating the body.
2. Sleep. Meifeng shared that sleeping enough also gives her body time to rest and to stay energised for the day ahead.
3. Face massages. To combat tiredness, Meifeng recommended doing face massages. She massages from her chin to the temples in an upward motion to help her relax and boost up her weary skin.

We also had a one-on-one interview with the superstar and got her to share some diet and skincare tips with us.

AA: Hi Meifeng, given that you’re known for maintaining both your looks and figure at your age, can you share some exercises or workouts you do to stay slim?

MF: I don’t do anything special in particular, but one simple trick I do is that I stand when I watch the TV and only sit when I’m tired.

AA: What are some beauty tips you would like to share with those who want to maintain youthful skin like yours? Are there certain skincare products you use currently?

MF: I eat apples as they contain high levels of antioxidants. Apples are an excellent choice as they are readily available and are easy to add to your diet to get your fruit consumption for the day.
I also drink lots of water because it really helps to keep my skin healthy and hydrated.

Here’s how I drink my water: I take three big glasses of water and fluids the first thing in the morning. For the first glass – take big gulps to start hydrating your body because your body is dehydrated through the night. For my second glass of fluids, I usually take either soya bean milk or coffee. The third glass would be any other fluid. I like to steep warm water with slices of lemon that I’ve scalded lightly with hot water and left overnight in the fridge. This washes away any other chemicals and retains the antioxidants and detox properties within.

Finally, I spritz on Mary Chia’s MU V.TIVATE Mist Spray, which really helps to maintain my youthfulness due to its high hydrating levels and lifting properties.

AA: What are some words of advice you would like to give to active agers who want to look and feel young even as they age?

MF: There’s a proverb in Chinese – “活到老,学到老”. It means “One is never too old to learn”. I am inspired by this – No matter what age I am, I am open to learning new things and new ways to stay youthful.

I also strongly recommend eating apples as they have a lot of nutrients and antioxidants that really helps to keep me young and healthy. Always watch your diet, and eat as fresh as possible. Avoid food that will make you feel ill or cause allergic reactions. Two easy tips: Drink lots of water throughout the day to hydrate yourself, and get as much sleep as you can to rest your body.
