As a sustainability advocate, model and influencer, Tan wears many hats. Juggling multiple roles can be overwhelming, but she cultivates joy and curiosity in her personal and professional life. She brings the two worlds together by finding opportunities within work to be an advocate.

“When I transitioned to zero-waste living and minimalism, I utilised my platform as a model, influencer, host and producer to share about it. I saw it as an opportunity to normalise and transform the culture,” she explained.

For Tan, self-care primarily involves taking time for oneself. It means being comfortable in one’s own skin and finding ways to replenish oneself in various ways. “Not through consumption, but by getting to know oneself better, slowing down, meditating and finding joy in every moment,” she said.

Tan mentioned her love for Clé de Peau Beauté's Firming Serum Supreme, “I appreciate its comforting effect, especially after a long day. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels incredibly moisturised.”

The serum is based on the latest skin science developed by Clé de Peau Beauté and helps to reduce the signs of ageing. It makes the skin firmer, smoother and more lifted. For optimal results, Clè de Peau Beauté recommends performing its Lifting V-Force exercise facial resistance training twice a day when applying the serum. A video demonstrating the exercise can be found at the end of this article.

She added that she enjoyed her facial treatment at Clé de Peau Beauté. The one-hour experience allowed her to gain a better understanding of her skin and offered her the chance to unplug and fully engage in the self-care session.

“I’m a huge proponent of taking the time for self-care and prioritising your mental well-being,” said Lee. “As mothers, we’re sometimes so busy caring for others that we often forget to care for ourselves. The mental load of motherhood is real. Parental burnout is real.”

“What do I personally love doing to unwind? A good spa and mani-pedi session, a delicious meal, catching up with good friends and spending quality time with my husband, travelling,” she added.

Growing up, Lee said she used to struggle with low self-esteem and body image issues but has learned to accept and celebrate the things that make her different. Ultimately, beauty comes from how one sees oneself, embraces flaws and recognises their value.

“The contemporary woman is smart, classic and confident. That’s also how I would describe Clé de Peau Beauté. The brand has a subtle beauty and sophistication that I admire,” she said.

She added that she admires the beauty brand’s collaboration with UNICEF, which supports the education and empowerment of young girls—something that Lee personally relates to.
