Zhao Yazhi’s 50-Year-Old Beauty Secret
Woman: Aerobic exercise made her a "celestial being" — the most asked question after seeing Zhao Yazhi. Photographers zoomed in on her photos, scrutinizing her skin, exclaiming "astounding!" Zhao laughed: "My life is very regular, I eat healthily, don’t picky-eat, don’t eat whatever I crave, though not a vegetarian, I do enjoy spicy food, but I pay attention to nutritional balance." Secondly, she chooses skincare products suitable for herself: "Not necessarily famous brands, but keep skin clean every day, test absorption and any adverse reactions after use. When home, I make my own mask if time allows; otherwise, buy ready-made masks. In short, treat yourself well."
Behind her slim figure lies not just genetic inheritance from her thin, tall father, but also her doing aerobic exercises 3–4 times weekly. She often does it while watching news, so never feels tired. Many female stars resort to large doses of hormones for weight loss, which Zhao strongly opposes: "Focusing on diet and moderate exercise can absolutely achieve weight loss."
It’s said that angry women aren’t beautiful, yet even beautiful Zhao Yazhi gets angry sometimes, but she controls her emotions better: "I’m human too, I get angry sometimes. But I rarely lose my temper because I believe anger without effect harms myself and others’ feelings—unworthwhile. When angry, my voice rises eight degrees, but I never shout or hit anyone."
Wife: Preserving Love by Treating Husband Like a Boyfriend. They met through filming collaboration, their love enduring for 20 years. "Happiness isn’t guaranteed; love and career need nurturing. My method is being responsible, empathetic, helping him when he needs support." Zhao has her secret to preserving love: don’t treat your husband as a husband, but as a boyfriend, appreciate what he does. Mr. Huang is Zhao’s ideal man—responsible, family-oriented, hardworking, with a touch of humor and wit. "Though he looks Westernized, he’s actually conservative." What touched her most was that every holiday, her thoughtful husband would decorate their home beautifully—putting up New Year paintings and couplets during Spring Festival, buying Christmas trees and preparing gifts for Christmas: "Most men wouldn’t do these things, I’d find it troublesome too, but he always takes care of everything, creating a festive atmosphere at home." With such a supportive husband, Zhao doesn’t idle either—she handles almost all household chores so he won’t worry.
