Actress Hwang Bo-ra Opens Up About Her Skincare Routine and Cosmetic Procedures

Actress Hwang Bo-ra recently revealed her skincare secrets and cosmetic procedures.

On the YouTube channel 'Hwang Bo-ra Variety,' a video titled '(First) Actress Skincare Routine Revealed' was uploaded on the 6th.

In the video, Hwang Bo-ra appeared without makeup and shared, "My skin used to be great. I was confident, but I became complacent. After having a child, I started developing pigmentation," expressing her concerns.

Declaring her intention to "return to her former self," Hwang Bo-ra promised to reveal her full skincare routine for important shoots. She began with cleansing, using a vibrating brush, but humorously admitted, "I'm too impatient to wait until it finishes," and quickly turned it off.

Starting her basic skincare, Hwang Bo-ra stated, "I don't insist on any particular brand. I don't necessarily use expensive products. I just try whatever is said to be good." She showed a relatable side by saving some of the product from a mask pack, saying, "There's a lot, so I save it instead of using it all at once."

However, she emphasized, "I don't skimp on essence," applying it generously on her face. She also showcased various sunscreens, calling them 'essential items.'

During a visit to the dermatologist after six months, Hwang Bo-ra confessed to having undergone a procedure. She shared, "I had thread lifting before marriage. The clinic didn't offer sedation, only numbing cream, and it was so painful I thought I might die. They told me to endure as they pulled the threads. I haven't had any procedures since."

The doctor commented, "Painful procedures are often ineffective." Upon examining Hwang Bo-ra's face, the doctor noted, "It feels like your face is sagging," and advised, "After childbirth and taking herbal medicine, your skin has changed. Excessive sauna use is bad for your skin as it depletes moisture."

At the clinic, Hwang Bo-ra humorously admitted, "I once had skincare sessions with an ex-boyfriend. When you have a face mask on, you can't see your face. I once removed the mask to check my phone, fearing he might look at it," causing laughter.

Hwang Bo-ra also revealed undergoing armpit and leg hair removal and LASIK surgery. She added, "I used to get shoulder Botox to make my neck look longer and calf Botox when my calves got thicker." She recalled, "During my rookie days filming the movie 'How to Use Guys with Secret Tips,' I was told to remove my circle lenses, but my pupils had shrunk from wearing them too much."

Meanwhile, Hwang Bo-ra married Cha Hyun-woo, the son of actor Kim Yong-gun and brother of Ha Jung-woo, in 2022. She gave birth to their son, In-woo, in May 2023.
