Sandy Lam sings praises of her top beauty secrets - yoga and being a vegetarian

Japanese beauty brand MTM invited veteran singer Sandy Lam Yik-lin to plug their latest custom-blend eye mask at a cocktail party on Wednesday. It seems, however, that the 44-year-old's secret to porcelain skin has more to do with her healthy lifestyle.

Lam said she'd been a vegetarian for years. 'Being a vegetarian makes me feel more energetic and healthy. I hope my friends can also join me.'

The star, who turned up in a body-hugging dress for the event at Azure bar, said she stayed fit by doing yoga. It should keep her photogenic figure in shape for the launch of her new album at the end of the year, after a four-year break from recording.

Lam wrote four songs for the comeback album and, apart from her signature slow-tempo love songs, she will also sing electronic and rock songs. The album will be in Putonghua, though.

'It's inevitable that the market for Canto-pop is shrinking. But I still want to sing in Cantonese. I just want to wow the audience with something different.'

Lam is also planning a concert in Hong Kong next year, so it's good to know the vegetarian is full of beans.
