Meet Lia Tan, the new NIVEA Girl for 2018. She shares her thoughts on winning the coveted title, her favourite NIVEA product, and how she keeps her skin in tip-top condition.

Lia Tan may only be 20 years old, but this Nanyang Technological University (NTU) undergraduate, who’s studying public policy and global affairs, is ready to “run the world”. Not only is she passionate about helping fellow young Singaporeans foster positive cultural changes and creating spaces that are more conducive for people to flourish in, she is also a fervent advocate of self-care. It’s no surprise, then, that she has been chosen as the new face of NIVEA. Read on to find out what this means to her.

How does it feel to be the NIVEA Girl for this year? What does it mean to you?

I feel incredibly blessed and thankful to be chosen as the NIVEA Girl. Being a NIVEA Girl means being comfortable in your own skin, taking good care of yourself, and consequently being confident about who you are. Ultimately, I believe that every woman has the potential to achieve her dreams and be successful on her own terms.

What’s your favourite NIVEA face product?

I love the 3-in-1 Caring Micellar Cleansing Wipes. They’re very convenient to use, especially after a tiring day at school. Not only do they remove makeup well and make me feel refreshed, they also have added moisturising benefits. Each wipe is packed with NIVEA Micellar Water to cleanse skin thoroughly, and is enriched with vitamin E – said to be useful for reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

How do you keep your skin in such good condition?
I cleanse my face every day with NIVEA Pearl White Caring Whip, because it deeply cleanses with a fine, rich whipped foam, yet does not dry out my skin. I follow that with a toner and moisturiser. I also use a moisturising or brightening facial sheet mask a few times a week. However, I feel that the most important part of maintaining a good complexion is drinking sufficient water and having a balanced diet.
