My all-time favourite beauty product is...
Albion Whitening Lift Milk from Japan, which is applied after cleansing and before toning the skin.
It helps to prep my skin to fully absorb the otherproducts I use.
It also has a pleasant scent.
Three items I would take to a desert island are...
Any sunblock from La Roche-Posay, Shiseido’s Revital moisturiser and L’Occitane’s Rose body cream.
My favourite cheap beauty fix is...
To spread thin slices of cucumber all over my face like a mask. It has a cooling effect and can also tone and moisturise my skin.
The most important thing about beauty I’ve learnt is...
Always use sun protection.
Before I became a beauty editor, I loved to get a tan without proper sun protection.
I have since learnt the importance of using sunblock, which protects skin from sun damage as well as premature wrinkles.
The right way to tan is to use a waterproof sunblock and to reapply it at regular intervals.
Do remove sunblock with a proper make-up remover so it does not clog your pores. |

My all-time favourite beauty product is...
Anything by M.A.C. I don’t have a specific product but it was the first make-up brand I loved as a teenager and brings back great memories.
Three items I would take to a desert island are...
A moisturiser with sunscreen such as Estee Lauder’s Cyber White moisturiser, Kiehl’s No. 1 lip balm and an all-in-one cleanser like American brand Philosophy’s Amazing Grace.
My favourite cheap beauty fix is...
Vaseline.
You can use it to groom your eyebrows, tame flyaway hair and treat blotchy or rough skin, among many other things.
The most important thing about beauty I’ve learnt is...
Not to forget my beauty regimen, no matter how stressed or tired I am. I also recommend that women put some make-up on. Whether it is mascara or lipgloss, it will make them look much better instantly.

Sophie Heo, 30, beauty editor of Elle Korea
My all-time favourite beauty product is...
Dior’s HydrAction Refreshing Spray Mist.
It gives my skin a great hydration boost and I can use it as a quick pick-me-up whenever I feel that my skin is dry.
Three items I would take to a desert island are...
DiorSnow’s Pure UV Ultra-Protective Whitening UV Base sunscreen, L’Occitane’s Shea Butter hand cream and a Shu Uemura eyelash curler.
My favourite cheap beauty fix is...
To use sheet masks, which are individual pieces of paper or cloth that have been soaked in skincare essence, to improve the condition of my skin.
In South Korea, you can buy sheet masks for $1 each so you can afford to use them every day.
Look for sheet masks with pumpkin extract as the main ingredient – it is great for firming your skin.
The most important thing about beauty I’ve learnt is...
To moisturise so that your wrinkles, if you have any, will be less visible and you appear younger and healthier.
