What’s your skin type?
I think my skin type is oily but prone to breakouts. When I started acting on television and doing regular shoots, I had the worst breakouts, and I tried everything. I used products from the States and heavy medication, but nothing worked. My mom has a cousin from Belo, so ever since then, I would have my facials done there.
What’s your favourite product?
Probably the Obagi ones because I’ve used them for a long time.
Can you walk us through your skincare routine?
My routine is pretty simple—because I have problematic skin. It’s more of the monthly rituals that are more important. I do Obagi, 1-2-3. I start with the cleanser, then the oil control pads. Tipid tip! They’re already cut in half. It’s not like you’re going to use the whole pad. And finally, the firming serum. This is something that I use all over my face. Even the neck. Tita Amy always reminds me that ‘the neck must not be forgotten because it wrinkles in time.’ Just make sure to be gentle because gravity is not your friend! The other stuff, like sunblock, is honestly just random things we found in a grocery store in Japan. It’s important to use sunblock, even at night, supposedly. And, of course, I do Showtime every day. So from Mondays to Saturdays, I have to do a lot of cleaning.
