If you had to guess Michelle Yeoh's age, you'd probably be wrong. We were stunned when the gorgeous actress, who hails from Ipoh, Malaysia, told us that she was 50.

"I'm 50, but I think my skin is in great shape because I work hard at it," she confesses, before sharing her beauty and fitness tips with us.

1. HAVE AN INTENSIVE SKINCARE ROUTINE

Michelle's strict regime doesn't take a break even during busy filming periods, when she has to travel regularly.

"I travel with a skincare kit, and one of my musthaves is a whitening roll-on cream face mask from Guerlain."

Michelle also loves applying a hydrating gel eye mask before using the roll-on mask, especially during long flights.

"When I was travelling with movie producer Luc Besson on the publicity for the movie, The Lady, I was doing leg lifts with two masks on my face during the flight. Luc actually did a double take when he saw me," she jokes.

2. LIMIT YOUR SNACKS

Although she doesn't refrain from eating "sinful food" like chocolate, she indulges in moderation.

We were impressed when she told us she could make a candy bar last up to five days, savouring each bite slowly instead of finishing it in one sitting.

Besides vitamin C, she doesn't take any oral supplements. Instead, she gets her nutrients from a fruit-and-vegetable rich diet.

3. WORK OUT IN THE BATH

She doesn't bother going to the gym, but starts off her day doing stretches in bed, before moving on to stomach- and leg-toning exercises, like leg lifts.

Sometimes, she does her toning routine in the bath as she says the water resistance gives her a more challenging workout.
