Evangeline Lilly says starring in ‘Lost’ ruined her skin.

The 29-year-old actress – who plays Kate Austen in the hit US TV show – admits she started surfing in the rough sea to cope with stress of filming, but the salty water soon took its toll on her complexion.

She said: “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. 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!”
