The young supermum and beauty enthusiast is an inspiration to anyone who is struggling with acne. Below, she reveals her best skincare tips
Show of hands if you have suffered from acne or are still battling it. We all know the drill—it is an arduous journey that takes a toll on you (both physically and mentally) but it is all about trusting the skincare process. Tatler friend Rachel Wee can attest to this. In fact, the beauty entrepreneur went as far as co-founding Oh Hello Bae, a skincare label created especially for acne fighters.
The young mum, who is the daughter of entrepreneur Jean Yip and Tatler's Most Stylish Man award winner Mervin Wee, created this vegan beauty brand as she suffered from acne herself for over 10 years and now wants to help those who have similar skin struggles. The beauty blogger enjoys sharing her favourite skincare and makeup products on her Instagram page and spreading wisdom to her followers as she journeys through motherhood with her 16-month-old baby girl, Ellery.
We ask the supermum to spill the deets on her go-to skincare tips, her best beauty picks and how she maintains her skin health while juggling mummy duties, work and life in general.
How long do you typically spend on your skincare routine?
Rachel Wee (RW): I’m pretty quick, I take five to 10 minutes. But I think that’s what makes it sustainable! I do it without fail every single morning and night. I probably haven’t missed a day of skincare since 2009.
What is your skincare routine like for the day?
RW: Our very own Oh Hello Bae Jelly Cleanser, followed by Mist Toner, Glow Gorgeous Vitamin C Serum, Bounce Bounce Baby Hyaluronic Acid Serum and finally a sunscreen. I’m currently using this K-beauty brand Pureforet Centella Cica Sun Cream that acts as both a moisturiser and sunscreen. I also mask every alternate day for 10 minutes (be it sheet masks or wash off masks).

What is your skincare routine for the night?
RW: Same thing but I change out the serums to target different skincare concerns. I do a double cleanse starting with an oil cleanser—I love Shu Uemura’s Facial Cleansing Oil or Fancl’s Mild Cleansing Oil—only these two cleansers won’t break me out and remove makeup and sunscreen thoroughly! I also use Oh Hello Bae Jelly Cleanser, followed by Mist Toner, Aloha Skin Enzyme Resurfacing Serum, Acne Eraser (if I have any spots), Clarins’ Total Eye Lift eye cream and Holy Grail Lightweight Moisturiser. If my skin feels drier than normal, I use Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask or La Mer’s The Moisturizing Cool Gel Cream instead.
