In an era that is obsessed with perfection,
Lancôme’s “Love Your Age” campaign for its
revolutionary Advanced Génifique Youth
Activating Concentrate serum serves as a
timely and empowering reminder that age is
but a number: It shouldn’t inhibit you from
taking life by the reins and steering your own
path, no matter how old—or young—you are.
Focusing on the beauty of self-confidence, it
salutes the many accomplishments of daring
women who defy the age-stereotypes
imposed on them by challenging societal
expectations of what they can and cannot do.
Two such women are local personalities,
Rosalyn Lee and Anita Kapoor, who share with
us about the brave decisions they’ve made,
never letting age stop them from anything,
and loving the skin they’re in.Rosalyn Lee

Do you think you get opportunities now
that you would not have gotten when
you were younger?
Definitely. Back then, I pretty much had to
do the bidding of whoever hired me. Now,
I get to choose who I want to work with,
how I’d like to present myself; and pretty
much be truly me. It is something that I
didn’t have the freedom to do before.What is the bravest decision you’ve
ever made?
Quitting radio. I had been doing it for 14
years. It was a very privileged position to
be in and I really enjoy it, but I felt enslaved
by it. So it took me a while to make that
decision, even though I consider myself to
be a strong, focused person. I finally realised
living life by my own rules is more important.If age is an attitude, how do you
stay young?
You do this by always being curious and
open. When you stop learning, and when
you lose curiosity, that’s when you start
to age.How does Advanced Génifique fit into
your skincare routine?
It’s pretty much the serum that I use after
I wash my face and before I apply my
moisturiser. It’s the first thing that touches
my cleansed skin for optimum absorption.After being exposed to so many different
cultures on all your travels, has your
perception of beauty changed?
I think every culture has their own idea of
beauty. For instance, the Kayan women
idolise long necks and wear neck rings to
lengthen them. No matter the societal
standards, I've come to realise that bright,
honest eyes and clear skin are the epitome of
beauty in most cultures. I personally agree.
