Lilly reveals 'Lost' skin troubles
Lost star Evangeline Lilly has revealed that she developed skin problems while filming for the show in Hawaii.

The actress, who plays Kate Austen on the programme, developed a habit of surfing in the sea whenever she was given a break by producers - but her complexion soon suffered due to the salt water.

"Last season of the show I surfed constantly, which was cathartic for me, but the sun and salt water wreaked havoc with my skin so, for the first time in my life, I had skin problems," Lilly explained.

"I ended up wearing a full face of pink pure zinc to protect it. I looked ridiculous with this bright pink face but I just wanted to surf!"

Evangeline also told InStyle magazine that her slim figure is a result of frequent indoor aerobics sessions.

"I dance around my living room to cheesy 80s aerobics music until I'm sweating really hard!" she explained. "I also walk a lot. Walking is a very underestimated exercise in North America. It's all run hard, lift weights and push your body, but walking is wonderful for elongating the body and posture."
