She also reveals her must-have beauty products and what she uses every morning as a perk-me-up
For some people, music is a form of therapy. It soothes the mind and soul in many ways, allowing us to destress easily with the sound of music.
Mezza soprano Seia Lee is a firm believer that music and self-care go hand in hand. The Japan-born musical artist has been in the industry for over a decade and held performances all over the world, including London, Singapore, Dubai and more. In 2015, she recorded her highly successful album Venere at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.
As a performer who may occasionally feel the pressure due to the nature of her work, Lee unwinds by indulging in a beauty routine that allows her to pamper the skin.
“No matter how tired I may be after a performance, I try to set some time aside for my skincare routine,” Lee shares.
From the most unforgettable beauty treatment she’s ever received to her must-have products, we find out how she maintains such enviable radiant skin throughout the year.

How long do you typically spend on your skincare routine?
Seia Lee (SL): In the morning I’ll spend around 15 minutes and 45 minutes before going out of the house and before bed. As a performer, it’s important that I take good care of my skin to look my best on stage. Skincare is also a form of self-care for me and during this time, it’s a great way for me to unwind and pamper myself after a busy day at work.
I used to travel often for shows, prior to the pandemic, and would always be on the lookout for simple, convenient and effective skin solutions. This led me to discover Skin Inc and its extensive range of products and since then, I have been a fan! I love their Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light++ and have been a huge fan of their serums—the Serum Glow Filter and Cocktail Serum. As their products are fully customizable to my skin needs, I find myself having a simplified skincare routine but one that is just as effective.
What is your skincare routine like for day?
SL: In the morning, I start off by cleansing my face with the Biologique Recherche Lait U Cleansing Milk. It’s a milky formula which is great as it helps to balance the PH of my skin—a perfect wake-me-up! I’ll then apply Skin Inc’s My Daily Dose Custom Blended Serum that is customised to my skin concerns, and most importantly I’ll apply a sunscreen that is suitable to the country’s weather!
If I have a show that day, I’ll make sure to cleanse and do a face mask for 30 minutes before I apply makeup.
What is your skincare routine for night?
SL: After I cleanse my face, I’ll select products that match my schedule for the following day. For example, if I don’t have any special plans for the next few days, I will choose a product that is a little more aggressive. I’ll choose between a retinoic acid or strong hydroquinone. Before a show, I will go back to my normal routine which is Skin Inc’s My Daily Dose Custom Blended Serum and moisturiser. I’ll end off with the Optimizer Voyage Tri-Light++ to help penetrate the products better.
