Samantha Tan considers herself a beauty lover, but the professional race car driver\u2019s introduction to skin care was less than enjoyable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my most vivid memories from childhood, unfortunately, was when I was in kindergarten and my eczema used to be terrible,\u201d Tan tells me over the phone. \u201cIt was all over my face, and the skin above my lips used to always be raw. My contagiousness was believed by my other children, even though eczema itself is not contagious. It\u2019s something that stayed with me for a long time. I wore long-sleeved clothes and long pants. I didn’t want to show my skin. Even up until now, I\u2019m still learning how to accept my scars.\u201d<\/p>\n
She adds, cheerily, \u201cIt\u2019s part of me, and I got to learn to love it.\u201d That same infectious optimism shines through when Tan discusses her successful career. In 2021, Samantha\u00a0Tan Racing made history by becoming the first Canadian team to win the renowned 24H Dubai; she also became the first Asian woman to win a major endurance racing series championship in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think representation is just so, so important,\u201d she says of the win. \u201cIt\u2019s so monumental. It\u2019s so important for people to people of color to see that their stories and voices are heard, and for me to be the first one is amazing, but I also don\u2019t want to be the last one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tan is so passionate to encourage others to follow her lead that she even agreed sharing the secret to her skin care.

Even if you\u2019re drunk and tired, you\u2019ve just got to do it. And that\u2019s funny because every time, somehow, when I get home\u2014blackout drunk sometimes\u2014I\u2019m able to still take off my makeup. [Laughs<\/em>.] I use the Bioderma one, which was recommended to me by my aunt, and then I\u2019ll go in with the CeraVe, which I definitely found because of TikTok. I also use the Foreo Luna Mini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
