Lily Muni He didn’t just pick up golf casually — she started playing when she was five years old and quickly discovered it was her true calling. From early junior tournaments in China to competing on the LPGA Tour, golf has shaped her life and taught her discipline, resilience, and the importance of caring for herself off the course as much as on it. Now in her seventh season as a professional, she’s also building a reputation for her thoughtful approach to skincare and beauty that reflects her lifestyle as an athlete who spends long hours outside under the sun.
Skincare First: Cleansing, Moisture, and Protection
For Lily, skincare is essential — especially because she applies multiple layers of sunscreen every day to protect her skin during long rounds of golf. After a training session or competition, she starts with a deep oil cleanse to remove sunscreen and sweat, a step she describes as taking off “war paint.” This is followed by a gentle toner that keeps her skin hydrated without feeling heavy.
She avoids strong active ingredients most of the time since her skin is exposed to so much sun, but when she does experience breakouts, she uses targeted patches that help calm and treat blemishes. On days when she’s not outside as much, she sometimes incorporates a retinoid into her routine to boost skin renewal.
Moisturizers are a picky category for her, too — many feel too thick under humid conditions or after exercise. She’s found a soothing cream that helps when her skin needs a little extra support, and on lighter days she opts for a gel‑cream that keeps her complexion balanced without clogging pores.
Sunscreen: A Non‑Negotiable for Outdoor Life
Arguably the cornerstone of Lily’s skin routine is sunscreen. She’s tried many formulas over the years but found that most either felt greasy, left a white cast, or didn’t provide enough protection during intense sun exposure. After trial and error and professional advice, she integrates a reliable broad‑spectrum option into her daily routine and re‑applies it often when she’s outdoors.
On competition days, she estimates she layers sunscreen several times on her face, neck, and hands to ensure maximum protection. For the rest of her body, she prefers a spray‑on sunscreen that’s quick and easy to apply during outdoor events.
Minimalist Makeup with Functional Flair
Though she’s on the road frequently, Lily still enjoys makeup — a passion that began in her adolescence. Her makeup bag has gotten slimmer over time, but it’s filled with trusted staples she knows won’t let her down. Because her skin tone changes with sun exposure, she switches between a few base products that offer light coverage while also providing SPF protection.
She always keeps concealer on hand for under‑eye circles and blemishes, and often reaches for a precision concealer pencil to help blemishes blend more naturally. A creamy contour stick is her go‑to for soft definition, and she prefers to apply blush where she naturally flushes — on the apples of her cheeks — for a fresh, athletic glow.
Her eye routine remains consistent: she loves a rich brown eyeliner shade that doesn’t irritate her eyes and applies it in a classic wing for a touch of confidence. A tubing mascara helps ensure her lashes stay neat even when humidity and sweat are factors.
For lips, she gravitates toward colors slightly deeper than her natural tone — soft rose or light brown — and often blurs them with her fingers for a softer finish. She also enjoys having both long‑lasting and more playful shades in her collection when she’s off duty.
Hair, Nails, and Personal Touches on the Road
Because Lily travels so often, keeping up with hair and nails can be a challenge. When she’s home, she visits her trusted stylists regularly for trims and color maintenance. On the road, she travels with her own tools — including a high‑end blow dryer that helps tame frizz far better than typical hotel dryers.
She also cares about how she finishes her look with manicured nails. While gel manicures used to be the norm, she now brings her own base and top coats plus a small selection of favorite nail colors to keep her nails looking sharp between salon visits. For her, well‑groomed nails help her feel confident and put‑together, especially when she’s competing or traveling.
A Beauty Routine Rooted in Function and Joy
Lily Muni He’s approach to beauty combines practicality with personal enjoyment. Her skincare and makeup choices are rooted in the realities of her life as an athlete — high sun exposure, frequent travel, and long hours outdoors — yet she still finds ways to make routine feel uplifting and expressive. Whether it’s a reliable sunscreen formula, a go‑to mascara that won’t smudge, or a lipstick shade that makes her feel confident, every product has a role in helping her feel her best, on and off the golf course.
