Eye bags are the usual enemy of celebrities because of their long working hours on the set.
And Barbie Forteza, who has always been known for her baby face, has recently discovered a product that helps minimize the puffiness of her eyes.
She has been swiping Clinique's All About Eyes Serum De-puffing Eye Massage under her eyes three times a day.
She said, "Isa siyang eye roll on na malamig na kapag nilagay mo siya sa mata mo, magde-depuff talaga siya.
"Importante siya for celebrities especially for me kasi lagi akong puyat.
"Kahit wala ako sa taping kasi lagi akong puyat and then the next day may trabaho, kailangan fresh."
This eye serum is currently available at Rustan's The Beauty Source in Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyong City for PHP2,300.
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) had an exclusive interview with Barbie at the launch of a joint project of beauty brands Happy Skin and Posh Nails.
The event was held on Tuesday, October 23, at One Rockwell in Makati City.
SKINCARE ROUTINE
It was only lately that Barbie began paying attention to her beauty routine, thanks to YouTube.
"Nito na lang ako nahilig sa skin-care routines, nung nag-start ako manood ng video tutorials," the GMA-7 actress told PEP.ph.
"Ano lang ako dati, toner and moisturizer. Ngayon, maarte na ako. Ang dami ko nang binibinili."
Barbie said it takes her 10 to 15 minutes to finish her 10-step skin-care routine.
Her daytime routine usually takes a lesser amount of time to finish.
"Kapag umaga, ang naiiba lang sa routine ko, naglalagay ako ng sunscreen.
"Sa gabi, hindi na ako naglalagay. More on face oils, serums, moisturizers, ganyan."
Aside from cleansing and moisturizing, Barbie has added few more steps.
"Gusto ko kasi kahit matutulog na ako, gusto ko sobrang moisturize nung mukha ko and sobrang hydrated niya.
"So toner, moisturizer, eye serum, face oil, lip balm, ganun.
"Yung parang feeling ko lagi basa yung mukha ko."
Meanwhile, one skin-care tip she'd love to share to her followers is "don't forget your neck."
She explained, "Lagi ko sinasama yung leeg ko. Yung iba kasi kinakalimutan nila.
"Siyempre, mahirap naman kapag nag-iba yung kulay ng mukha mo sa leeg mo di ba?
"Para sa akin, you should treat your face and your neck as one, para hindi magkaiba ng kulay."
