Heart Evangelista’s new beauty secret
HEART Evangelista is celebrated in the Philippines and around the world for her fashion sense and iconic status. But apart from becoming the epitome of elegance and style, the A-list star has always been celebrated for her timeless beauty — and that is because of her unwavering commitment to natural beauty and holistic wellness.
The 28-year-old actress, however, candidly recognized that, like everyone, she sometimes abuses her body due to the demands of her busy job. Despite that, she emphasized the importance of self-awareness and meticulous self-care.
“I’m not perfect myself. With my busy job, I’m honest to say that I do abuse my body at times. But I do make sure that I really take care of my body and I’m very selfaware of what I put in my body,” she pointed out.
Furthermore, she expressed her support for natural beauty, emphasizing that the era of merely beautiful faces is evolving.
“Because now beautiful faces are dime a dozen. I mean, but it’s really about the natural type of vibe of a woman that makes her extremely beautiful, whether that’s the glow or the charm, there’s something about the person that makes her super charming. And for me, that’s power. There are a lot of beautiful women all over the world especially in my job. But there’s something charming about a woman and for me that’s just the natural beauty that I love,” she said.
Championing overall well-being
Given her hectic lifestyle, it is important for Evangelista to take products that promise not only radiant skin but also overall well-being. And what caught her attention is AkemiGlow, the newest brand in the beauty and wellness sector.
Seamlessly blending Japan’s revered manufacturing prowess and their timeless techniques with the Filipino love for beauty, Akemi Glow is poised to redefine the concept of beauty from the inside out.
Together with its Japanese partner, Akemi Glow is proud to unveil its flagship innovation – the Akemi Glow Hithion capsules. Far more than a mere beauty supplement, these capsules are a game-changer in the local industry, featuring the groundbreaking Hithion extract – a new, more potent form of glutathione that’s set to redefine skin health and immunity. ”I have heard of Akemi Glow through a friend. I heard that it has Hithion. Hithion was really a big deal for me because the brand is the only one in the Philippines that has it, and it is a new form of glutathione,” Evangelista said.
“I really wanted the part of Akemi Glow because they were all natural. And everybody wants to be healthy and have a glow at the same time. This is just very important and priceless,” she added.
A self-proclaimed vitamin enthusiast and avid cleanser, Evangelista appreciates the simplicity of incorporating Akemi Glow into her daily routine.
“It’s so easy. I mean, I’m the type of person I pop a lot of like vitamins, I do a lot of cleansing. But sometimes when you’re always on the go, and you have responsibilities for your body, this is easy because it’s just one pill a day, 1,000 mg, so you’re really doing your body a favor. And again, it’s a new form of glutathione that’s really the top of the line,” she noted.
Meanwhile, Engr. Kristal Caparas, founder of AkemiG low, also emphasized that Akemi Glow’s Hithion extract offers a multitude of benefits, including promoting a brighter, more even skin tone, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and enhancing the skin’s natural glow. It works at a cellular level to neutralize harmful free radicals and helps in detoxifying the skin, leading to a healthier, more youthful appearance. Moreover, its powerful antioxidant properties significantly boost the immune system, providing an overall health benefit that goes beyond the surface level. This makes Hithion extract a remarkable advancement over traditional products, offering a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. “At AkemiGlow, our passion is more than just skin deep. We’re deeply committed to empowering our customers, offering not just products, but life-changing experiences with our premium Japanese creations. We’re not simply unveiling a new product; we’re initiating a revolution in health and beauty, right at your doorstep. Our Hithion-infused capsules are designed to completely transform your expectations of skincare supplements,” Caparas shared during the launch.
Further explaining the unique composition of the AkemiGlow Hithion capsules, she added, “Each capsule is a carefully crafted blend of nature’s finest ingredients. The star is our Hithion YH extract, complemented by DHA [Docosahexaenoic Acid] and other skinloving ingredients. This powerful combination doesn’t just protect your skin, but it also actively rejuvenates, fights the signs of aging, and enhances overall wellness. The distinctive dark brown color of our capsules isn’t just for aesthetics, as well. It’s a practical design choice to protect the sensitive ingredients from light. We’re fully committed to ensuring that our customers receive the best that beauty science and nature have to offer.”
Dispelling stigmas
During the event, the multihyphenate Evangelista also addressed the common stigma associated with glutathione – that it’s primarily for skin whitening.
“This is full of antioxidants, that’s first. Again, it’s the glow that we’re after. Glow not in terms of changing your skin per se. No, it’s about that shine of a person – there’s something radiant about the person. So again, that keeps your charm. Glow means a healthy life, healthy skin. This is what we all want and dream,” she said.
“When I tried this out, I definitely felt good. I’m really doing my body a favor. And of course, with proper eating habits, enough sleep, it’s really perfect. And I do feel like I have a glow in my skin, meaning I’m healthy, the blood circulation is good, and that’s what we want,” Evangelista continued.
Now officially the face of Akemi Glow, Evangelista does not stop advocating true beauty. Her journey reflects a philosophy that goes beyond skin-deep beauty – it’s about embracing a lifestyle that radiates health, happiness, and an authentic glow from within.
“It’s not all about how beautiful your dresses are, how shiny your diamonds are. It’s about your health because health is your ultimate wealth. You can look like a million dollars by just standing in front of a thousand people wearing nameless clothing but if you look beautiful and there’s something glowing, this is the one that we want. So you can’t cover that up with just expensive things. You can’t even cover happiness, what more your health. Health is wealth, and this is the ultimate favor that we could do,” Evangelista concluded.
