Actress Jang Hye-jin Reveals Motherhood Struggles: Breastfeeding On-Set and Unique Baking Soda Beauty Tips

Actress Jang Hye-jin has garnered significant attention after sharing her past struggles as a working mother and her unique household and beauty tips on a recent television broadcast.

Appearing as a guest on the MBC variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View' (hereafter 'Omniscient') on the 1st, Jang Hye-jin candidly discussed her experiences before her breakthrough role in the film 'Parasite.' She revealed that she worked without a manager during that period and often brought her two children to filming sets.

Jang shared a particularly striking anecdote about breastfeeding her second son on set, astonishing viewers with her dedication and multi-tasking abilities.

Discussing her family life, she mentioned meeting her husband, a teacher, at an adult literacy class. Her husband is currently stationed in Turkey for his company, while their elder daughter stays with her and the younger son studies abroad. She humorously recounted the 12-year age gap between her children, explaining that after almost giving up on having another child, her second son was conceived during the filming of the movie 'The World of Us.'

Beyond her personal stories, Jang also unveiled her unconventional cleaning and skincare routines. She detailed how she uses baking soda for various household chores, including cleaning the bathroom. More surprisingly, she shared her method of using baking soda for dental hygiene and facial cleansing, claiming it resolved severe acne issues that dermatologists and cosmetics couldn't fix.

'I used to have a lot of acne. It wouldn't get better with dermatology visits or expensive cosmetics. A friend recommended using baking soda dissolved in water, and that's when I started,' she explained. She further elaborated, 'After washing your face with soap, rinse with the baking soda water, and then rinse with plain water. It also whitens your teeth. If you have dandruff or pimples, wash your hair with shampoo mixed with baking soda, and they disappear,' she revealed, sharing her 'secret' remedies.

Netizens reacted positively to Jang Hye-jin's honest revelations, with comments such as 'Actress Jang Hye-jin is amazing,' 'It's admirable she managed acting while raising children,' and 'I should try the baking soda skincare method myself.'
