Girl of Steel

A self-professed feminist and skincare fanatic, Rui En reveals how it isn’t about trying to have it all, but finding happiness and contentment that really matters.

For years, Rui En has been caricatured as the entertainment industry’s “Ice Queen” simply for having opinions that somehow find their way into the media. But the days of being outsider are over. Having been voted Top 10 Most Popular Artists at the Star Awards for nine consecutive years, the Mediacorp actress further cemented her superstar status when she was signed on as the face of L’Oreal’s Youth Code last year, as well as spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris Cosmetics.

The fame game

It has been just under a decade since she landed her first leading role, but now, she has completely shed that persona of being a standoffish actor with an attitude. In fact, now that Fann Wong is more focused on mummy duties, she is widely considered the TV station’s top star.

Under pressure

These days, her schedule is particularly gruelling. With the emotionally demanding nature of her job, there must be a lot of pressure being the multi-hypenate entertainer that she is. Having admitted to being a homebody and taking long drives as a way of unwinding from work in the past, the svelte star also enjoys regular workouts to relax.

Glamazon or laidback gal

While she claims to be perfectly comfortable being caught in T-shirts, shorts and slippers when she’s off-duty, Rui En has been consistently scoring with local fashion police when it comes to her sartorical choices.

Year after year, her red carpet outings during events like Star Awards showcase her chameleon-like ability to pull off a smorgasbord of styles, looking perennially chic whether in an androgynous pantsuit or floor-sweeping gown.

Award-winning actress Rui En tells Lieu Wei Ning it’s the one look she’ll never sport again.

Her World: What are your beauty pet peeves?

Rui En: Thin eyebrows – one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever made. And smudged eyeliner.

Her World: What about your favoured beauty look?

Rui En: When I do use makeup, I tend to focus on the eyes – I like winged eyeliner and false lashes. But I’ve become more adventurous, and have experimented with coloured eyeliners for different looks.

Her World: What do you think is the fastest way to update your look using makeup?

Rui En: A swipe of red lipstick – it can make you look glamorous instantly.

Her World: How do you keep your makeup looking fresh when you’re filming or attending red-carpet events?

Rui En: By using the right primer and foundation. I quite like L’Oreal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer, which makes my pores appear smaller and my complexion smoother. I also like L’Oreal Paris True Match liquid foundation, which doesn’t feel thick and oily on my skin, and lasts throughout the day.

Her World: What’s in your makeup pouch right now?

Rui En: Quite a few L’Oreal Paris products, actually – Superliner Gelmatic Pen in black, Color Riche lipsticks in several colours (her favourite is Flaming Kiss), True Match Concealer, True Match Two-way Powder Foundation and a sunscreen – as well as a tube of Nuxe lip balm and a Bioderma sunscreen.

Her World: What’s your biggest beauty splurge?

Rui En: Perfumes. I collect them – I have about 200 bottles now – and spend way too much money buying new ones.

Her World: Any beauty secrets to share?

Rui En: I run – it makes my skin glow and is a great way to de-stress. I also make smoothies and drink plenty of water. A strict skincare routine plays a part too. I cleanse, tone, prep, treat, moisturize and use sunscreen. UV protection is extremely important in fighting skin ageing, so I always use a sunscreen under makeup. When I’m filming, I also use a sheet mask every night – usually while I’m going through my script.

Her World: You’ve been the face of L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting essence for a year now. Do you have any unusual ways of using it?

Rui En: I use it as a boosting treatment under a sheet mask. I find this makes the mask more effective!

水嫩剔透的肤质，是许多女性所追求的。

本地著名艺人瑞恩也不例外。尽管她的皮肤并不干燥，但她坦言自己就是喜欢水嫩嫩的肌肤，讨厌哑光（matte）的感觉，所以她对保湿尤其热衷。

这期的《体面人生》就请瑞恩公开她的养颜秘诀妙包括她每天早晚各超过9步骤的韩式护肤程序。

让肌肤水嫩透亮

拥有普通和敏感肌肤的瑞恩，护肤的一大重点就是保湿。

她说：“我喜欢水嫩嫩、透亮的的肌肤，讨厌哑光的感觉，所以我往往会使用比肌肤所需更高的保湿产品。”

除了保湿，瑞恩也开始在护肤品方面，添加主要的抗老成分，如维A酸（retinoids）和抗氧化剂等。

过去一年多，她因代言Youth Code，也开始使用这款肌底液，她认为产品的质地轻盈，能协助后续产品的吸收。

9步骤韩式护肤

最近，瑞恩也开始尝试韩式多步骤护肤程序，结果她原本都已至少五六步骤的护肤程序，增加到超过9步骤。

“我是出于好奇之心，尝试韩式护肤程序，结果一试之后，我的皮肤似乎爱上了它。”瑞恩这么说道。

在这之前，瑞恩的护肤程序就包括：洁肤、Youth Code肌底液、爽肤水、精华露（serum）、润肤霜和防晒霜。

融入韩式护肤程序后，她的护肤程序就多了至少3个步骤，即添加了多一个步骤的洁肤、还有增加了精华素和乳液的额外滋润和保湿，护肤程序顺序为双重洁肤、肌底液、爽肤水、精华素（essence）、润肤霜和防晒霜。

若是在准备拍戏或拍戏期间，瑞恩则会边读剧本边敷上面膜，每晚交替使用纸面膜或面膜霜。

不拍戏或没有工作时，她一般都不化妆，只会用护肤品和防晒霜。

“运动，再加上确保体内水分充裕，能让皮肤散发自然健康的光泽！”

这是瑞恩在饮食起居方面对拥有健康和年轻肌肤的诠释。

也因为如此，所以她除了确保自己摄取大量的水分外，只要没有工作，就会天天做带氧运动（cardio workout），如跑步、举重或上健身房。她坦言，碰到有工作，往往就没有什么时间运动了。

在饮食方面，她也会尝试多吃蔬菜和水果。其中，她每天就会喝以菠菜和水果等调配的绿色蔬果冰沙（smoothies），并在其中添加“超级食品”如奇亚籽（chia seed）和巴西莓（acai）等。

她庆幸自己的皮肤不会对辛辣和“发热”的食品有不良反应，所以在这方面就无需任何禁忌。

她倒是会避免高盐分的食品，如薯片、快熟面等，以防水肿的问题。

公主授招　如何活化肌肤

问：你有什么美容贴士，可活化肌肤？

答：若是熬夜拍戏、出席重要活动前或是有拍摄，我会进行磨砂去角质层，并使用面膜。但由于我的皮肤敏感，所以我会选择采用含有AHA或BHA进行化学去角质（chemical exfoliation），而不是使用含有微粒的人工去角质法，以免刺激皮肤。

问：碰到黑头粉刺找上门，怎么办？

答：针对黑头，我会使用洁净毛孔的面膜，而如果有痘痘，我则会采用含有过氧化苯甲酰（benzoyl peroxide）成分的产品。
