APPLES ABERIN & MILES ROCES: Clay mask? All smiles, no bullying at all
Did Apples Aberin have to bully Miles Roces into being photographed with a clay mask? Maybe yes, since men generally do not care to wear beauty concoctions. But maybe not, because as you can see, Miles is all smiles in the photos. The handsome Miles, who was a former Congressman (of the Manila district held for five terms by his grandfather, Joaquin Roces), is no stranger to all kinds of creams and facial washes.
Mainly since Apples is in the business of making people look more beautiful and younger (she is head of public relations of Unilever), Miles has no choice but to try out products specifically created for men, as well as those that are not gender-specific.
“When we started seeing each other, I actually threw out all his personalcare products and replaced them with my faves. I think he was a bit shocked when he saw them in the trash. He didn’t have much of a choice though,” laughs Apples. “I was pleasantly amused to find some moisturizing masks in his drawer. He uses them when he feels his skin is extra dry, specifically after a trip to the beach or a long plane ride.”
During the lockdown, Apples says Miles realized the importance of a consistent skincare routine. “And yes, his skin is now softer, smoother and well-nourished.” The quarantine period gave Miles the “me” time to focus on skincare, thanks to Apples.
But it didn’t give Apples the opportunity to cut or shave his hair off. “It has grown to Einstein levels at this point. So far, he won’t even let me touch his hair!” No amount of bullying will do? “Well, Samson was asleep when Delilah asked a servant to cut off his hair. So let’s see!”
