- Actress Li Jiaying, who became a mother in late 2024, is prioritizing family and childcare over acting for now.
- She plans to return to acting when her son turns three and starts kindergarten, aiming to be present for his formative years.
- Li Jiaying has adopted an "unscented" lifestyle, avoiding "environmental hormones" since her pregnancy, extending this practice to her family's daily routine for purity and health.
Taiwanese actress Li Jiaying, known as the "childlike goddess," is currently embracing motherhood after welcoming her son, "You You," in late 2024. She radiates happiness, sharing her sweet parenting experiences and expressing deep care for her child, especially given the challenges she faced in conceiving.
Unscented is not just a skincare issue, but is closely related to egg nurturing and body balance.
While fans are eager for her return to the screen, Li Jiaying's agent revealed that the actress is not averse to acting. However, with her son now 1.5 years old, her primary focus is on family and not missing his developmental milestones. She intends to resume her acting career once her son turns three and begins kindergarten, allowing for more flexibility in her schedule.
Li Jiaying's journey to motherhood inspired a significant lifestyle change. She has adopted an "extreme unscented" approach to life, consciously avoiding "environmental hormones" since her pregnancy. This commitment to purity began during her preparation for conception and has naturally extended to her family's daily life. She believes that addressing potential issues at the source by minimizing chemical exposure is crucial for her family's well-being.
When I traveled to Denmark years ago, I accidentally discovered that many Nordic people use unscented daily necessities.
Her "unscented" philosophy was sparked years ago during a trip to Denmark, where she observed the prevalence of fragrance-free products in Nordic daily life. This experience left a lasting impression, and upon discovering similar brands available in Taiwan, she promptly replaced all her household cleaning and personal care items. For Li Jiaying, this minimalist approach to products is not just about protecting her child's delicate skin but also a form of simple living aesthetic. She emphasizes that reducing complex external stimuli allows life to be better cared for.
Reducing complex interference, life can actually receive the best care.
