Iga Swiatek recently became the Polish ambassador of Lancome, a French makeup, skincare, and perfume brand. She became the first athlete to hold this position and joined the illustrious list of ambassadors including Julia Roberts and Zendaya.

In an interview with Vogue Poland, the four-time Grand Slam champion was asked what was the best beauty advice she has ever received. The Pole replied that during Lancome's photo session, she learned to take basic care of her skin, adding that as a tennis player, she could easily neglect skincare.

"I definitely learned the most during the Lancôme photo session. At the moment, I am focusing on taking care of the basic care of my skin, especially cleansing and protecting it against harmful factors, because as a tennis player I could easily pollute and neglect my skin. I spend so much time in the sun and on airplanes that I can't skip moisturizing," she said to Vogue Poland.

Swiatek also said that she was still discovering her style. She also talked about loving her WTA Finals' red dress.

"I'm still discovering my style and I'm open to different things. I have my favorite colors, such as blue or purple, but that doesn't mean that I won't be convinced by a feminine, red dress, like the one I wore to the WTA Finals in Mexico (by the way, the dress fit perfectly into the local culture). I wear sports clothes and tracksuits every day, so I willingly use every opportunity to feel more attractive," she said.

Iga Swiatek will next be seen competing at the Rome Open.
