They always walk around confidently, projecting their beautiful appearance, shooting cupid arrows at everyone that walks past by them. And we can’t help but to wonder..

We get it, Asian beauty has a lot of superstitions that they swore by. Be it Malaysian, Thailand or Indonesian—they hold tight to their ancestors’ practices, tips and tricks when it comes to natural beauty. What to eat, how to eat, and where to put the ingredients, so on and so forth, the list goes on. It’s that traditional method that they often prioritize in order to look good and feel good.

The Major Secrets Behind Thai Women’s Beauty 

Before we begin to reveal the littlest secrets of Thai’s women, let’s first acknowledge the big arsenal when it comes to unhinging your younger and healthier looking complexion. Believe it or not, when it comes to Thai women, it all must start within—and this means, everything that you choose to put inside your body, the food you consume and the drinks you’re having. The women from The Land of Smiles often prioritize the natural ingredients. Hence, they weren’t really a fan of processed and artificial ingredients. In short, they’re very particular on what they chose to put on their body. Thus, that is where weekly massaging takes place. And the reason why massages are so popular among the Thai is because they need to constantly detoxify all those toxins in their bodies—keeping only the good and healthy energy to revolve around them. 

Weekly Massage Treatment

Which leads us to the point number one; getting a regular massage appointment. No, you don’t need to book a flight to Thailand to experience a good massage treatment. You can simply find a good massage spa in your country that offers numerous Thai-inspired massage benefits. The reason why Thai women love a good ole’ body massage is due to the fact that long stretches and strokes up and down your body is the key to relaxation. They simply keep their energy flow by a weekly massage session. And having a well-rested and good blood circulation leads to glowy vision. Have you seen a stressed-looking Thai woman walking around your neighborhood? Of course, not! That’s why massages are so important to these flawless ladies—because once they start to feel the tension, massage is the solution!

Eat A Balanced Diet 

As mentioned before, Thai women are very particular when it comes to food and beverages. They strongly believe in the saying, ‘’You are what you eat’’. Hence, the secret to Thai beauty is to pack your dietary list with a lot of nutrients, Vitamins and antioxidants rather than processed foods and artificial ingredients. And you best believe that vegetables and fruits are a part of their five course meals routines. Thai women are huge fans of fresh fruits, that is why they manage to lock in that youthful glow even if they reach 60. Here’s a secret, Thai women do not consume red meat, and always steer away from alcohol and caffeine—swore to opt for antioxidants drinks like green tea and coconut water. See, this is your cue to ditch those cafe latte and go for green tea instead. 

Add Spices Into Your Food

While the European ladies believe that spicy food can damage your skin layers, Thai women are on the other hand swore by those spices and herbs. You see, when it comes to cooking flavour spicy food, you can always count on the Thais. Spices and herbs like turmeric, lemongrass, and plenty of Vitamin infused foods can often be found in their cooking and in their home-made beauty regime. And the reason why Thai women favour turmeric is because they’re rich in antioxidants which are known to actively fight free radicals, wrinkles and fine lines on your face, as well as lemongrass with a zingy flavour, which also helping in cellular ageing, making your skin look healthier and bouncier. Brb, I’m going to the nearest store to collect all these, though!

The Importance Of Essence 

Essence products are no stranger to Asian ladies. You can thank the K-Beauty community for the rise of it. Different from Europeans who majorly advertise the use of moisturizer, Asian ladies on the other hand, prioritize softer and lighter ingredients like essence and serum. Savvy Thai women swear by essences. The key is to incorporate those light, oil-free and mostly water-based ingredients into their daily beauty routine. This because due to the fact that Asian women’s skin are prone to oily and will be needing a right amount of balance into their skin as compared to caucasians who need constant hydration from their moisturizer lotions. Not only that, they’re also usually finishing off their skincare with layering a good amount of SPF. Hm, not surprised. Sun protection is not only good to cover your skin from those harmful UV rays, but also from the blue light and green light caused by your devices. 

Thicker Looking Hair 

Thai women are very very very particular about the amount of thickness on their hair. Thicker hair equals a healthy scalp. So they make sure to use only the best products to take care of their mane. Sometimes, they will come up with their own hair mask, using only natural ingredients like turmeric, coconut oil, jojoba oil and honey to layer on their strands. Not to mention, a good investment in hair care products is a must. Always apply a good amount of frizzy treatment or a hair serum before using a hair tool. Always protect your mane from causing further damage.

Consume Collagen 

Thai women are no stranger to collagen, to be honest. It’s very common for them to consume additional natural products into their daily routine. Be it by taking it physically via collagen pills, adding them onto a face mask or drinking a collagen-based drink powder. By adding a collagen supplement, Thai women believe they will act as a skin booster, keeping your skin looking fresh and plump. Collagen has also been backed by science to naturally enhance the appearance of your complexion. But you need to always double check the ingredients before purchasing a product and always seek your doctor’s advice. Not all supplements match with your health conditions.
