Wear sunscreen even when out for just 5 mins: Rebecca Lim

Drink a lot of water, take beauty supplements and always apply sunscreen. This is Singaporean actress Rebecca Lim's beauty advice to all young women.

The 28-year-old was at the launch of beauty brand SK-II's newest product, R.N.A. (Radical New Age) Power, at Changi Airport on July 15.

The local actress, who loves winter fashion, revealed at a press conference that she wears no make-up on her flights when she travels. Her biggest skincare concerns are tired eyes, fine lines and dehydrated skin.

How then does the 1.67m tall celebrity take good care of her skin?

"I always apply sunscreen, even if I'm going to walk my dog for just five minutes," she said. Lim, who looked angelic in a sleeveless white dress at the event, was spotted with visibly clear and radiant skin.

Her busy lifestyle and jet-setting schedule do not seem to take a toll on her too. In an e-mail interview with AsiaOne, she said that she has "grown to be confident in (her) own skin" even though being an actress puts her "under more scrutiny".

So has her radiant complexion scored her a date?

"I have been so busy at work I hardly have time for any social activities. But I definitely feel comfortable enough in my skin and I hope my date feels comfortable in his as well," she said in the interview.

On what advice she gives to young women, the actress said that all women should be happy and happiness is "sadly underrated". She also advises them to settle any disputes before going to bed and not bear an overnight grudge.

"To be happy with your loved ones and treasure your time together is what I can say. For work, always work hard and constantly improve yourself. Never feel that you are too good for something. Always be prepared and always be punctual," she said.
