LIU'S SKIN SECRETS

CHARLIE'S ANGELS star LUCY LIU is one of the few Hollywood stars who shies away from facials - because she thinks they do more harm than good.

The Asian-American actress insists on keeping her skin clean and thinks drinking plenty of water is the secret to healthy, glowing looks, not spa treatments.

She tells InStyle magazine, "I drink a lot of water, and I've never had coffee. I think caffeine can be really bad for your skin. And I don't get facials, ever.

"I think they damage your skin. People are getting peels and dermabrasion, and anything with the word 'abrasion' doesn't work for me. I also think a lot of plastic surgery hurts your skin."

But the former Ally McBeal star does indulge in a little acupuncture: "It's preventative medicine. You go in once a month, and you get a little check-up so you're regulated. It keeps you healthy.

"My parents used to get acupuncture. It has been a part of my culture and my life for a long time, and it really, really works.

"It can help you lose weight, it can help your skin stay young - and I've found it helps with jet lag. (Acupuncturists) look at your tongue and will say, 'Alright, you're drinking too much,' or, 'You're emotional, aren't you?'"
