How To Look Smooth And Have A Smooth Sailing Life
8 Days|December 28, 2017

Despite a busy schedule with four kids and a lot of sailing, EVELYN TAN, 41, looks like she hasn’t aged a day even though she sometimes feels like she “lives in a zoo”.

How To Look Smooth And Have A Smooth Sailing Life

Maintaining order with four kids in the house is tough, and Evelyn Tan tells us, “When Darren is not around to help, I take out the cane!” Lest we made it sound like Evelyn Tan was a cane-wielding Tiger Mum, we apologise. The 41-year-old erstwhile actress and bilingual host mostly only uses the cane as a threat when she’s reached the end of her tether with her four kids, Kristen, 12, Jairus, 10, Way, 8, and Elliott, 3. And from her soft-spoken and measured answers to our questions, we’re guessing her tether is rather long. After all, it must take a very, very patient person to home-school her four kids and live in a very confined space for months at a time. Evelyn and her husband, actor Darren Lim, are famed for their sea-faring exploits, and for living on a boat with their brood. They’re currently firmly anchored in Singapore, where Evelyn has just landed (pardon the pun) an ambassadorship (omg, another sailing pun) with frei öl, a new-to-town German skincare brand known for its skincare oil. And while the baby-faced supermum looks like she has aged nary a day since her acting days, and that her demanding job as full-time mama to three boys and a girl, and wife to a man who loves to haul his family on daring sea-ventures has not taken a toll on her looks or her skin, she tells us, “Sometimes, I feel like I live in a zoo.” A floating, rocking, rollicking zoo, we reckon.

8 DAYS: If you were stranded on a desert island, which product from frei öl would you want in your survival kit?

EVELYN TAN: If the island was shady, I won’t have to worry about sun protection, but I’d still have to protect myself from the drying effects of the sun, so it’d have to be the Intensive Cream.

Some women have 10-step skincare routines. How many steps is yours?
