All dolled up in a sparkly pink dress and an effortless beach waves hairdo, Ellen Adarna looked like a debutante when she was launched as the newest brand ambassador of Ultherapy.
What's her beauty secret?
She tells PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) about the non-invasive skin-tightening and lifting treatment.
"I am very low-maintenance. I’m not the type who likes to go and hang out in clinics and do all these procedures every week or every day, right? It’s only done once a year."
Instead, Ellen works on different aspects of everyday self-care, which she started to prioritize two years post-partum.
"Number one is diet and exercise and that’s it."
She portions her meals and listens to her body when it comes to working out.
"Sometimes I do pilates, some days I do weights, some days I do cardio. I mix it. Whatever I feel doing that day or whatever I feel like my body needs," she said.
On top of that, getting enough sleep is the best beauty advice she believes in.
"I always wake up around 5 or 4, the earliest and that’s it. I’m a morning person. I prioritize sleep talaga."
Editors, influencers, and dermatologists gathered for the special occasion held last April 19, 2023, at the Blackbird at Nielson Tower.
During the Q&A portion of the program, featuring host Janeena Chan and Merz Aesthetics senior brand manager Sam Gallardo, Ellen revealed that even before any talks of an endorsement, she was already a client of Ultherapy.

ELLEN ADARNA ON REAL BEAUTY
All together, Ellen’s definition of beauty goes beyond the surface.
When asked what makes a woman beautiful, she said, "For me, I appreciate realness."
She further explained that it’s all about personality.
"You know I have to get to know the person, or get to talk to the person, or really know both the good and bad side of the person.
"I find beauty in accepting and showing their yins and yangs. Nobody is perfect. If there’s good, there’s bad.
"Good cannot exist without the bad. People present themselves as perfect, and I hate it."
On that note, Ellen reminds ladies that beauty isn’t the filters on social media.
"Accept the darkness that you have, appreciate it.
"Appreciate it like how you appreciate your light."
