The Soap Angelica Panganiban Swears By For Instant and Pain-Free Whitening

It's common knowledge that Angelica Panganiban is blessed in the beauty department (her skin is to die for!) While she got her genes to thank for that, we also do know that the actress takes serious dedication to skincare. "Yung skincare dapat ingatan natin kasi 'yun yung base eh. 'Yun din ang puhunan natin sa trabaho. So kailangan lagi kang maayos."

Angelica is a big believer that women should always look their best—not only to be presentable, but to feel good about themselves. "Kapagka naka ayos tayo, kapagka maganda yung pakiramdam natin sa panlabas, magfo-follow 'yun eh. Hindi ka magiging aburido, hindi ka maiinis sa sarili mo. Ang sarap i-present na maayos ka palagi," she shares.

The actress credits Silka Green Papaya for her glowing skin and has been in love with the product since she tried it. At the recent launch of the whitening soap, Angelica, who is the new brand ambassador, shares how establishing a regular skincare routine with products that work for you can help in making you look good naturally. 

"Yung mga beauty products na ginagamit mo, [dapat] yung talagang trusted like Silka—from your soap, hanggang umabot ka na sa pagmo-moisturize, sunblock—para maramdaman natin na 'Ay, ang ganda ko kagad. Walang ka effort effort.' Hindi mo na kailangan ng makeup para gumanda."

But if you’re irked by the idea of going through a painful whitening process, don’t worry. With the help of today’s advances in beauty, brands like Silka have already addressed your concerns. “Meron tayong thinking na kapag nagpapaputi tayo kailangan may sting, [may] hapdi, and minsan tinitiis natin yun para lang talaga ma-achieve natin yung whiter, brighter skin. So, ngayon na meron nang nagawa ang Silka Green Papaya soap na gaganda tayo ng hindi natin kailangan masaktan," Angelica explains.

And alas, Silka’s latest variant is made for Filipinos who are looking for quicker results. "[The] millennials, Gen Z, they want instant gratification. Even sa career, gusto nila paspasan. Siguro dala yun ng environment—our environment nowadays is very competitive, so everyone's kind of in a rush. So pati sa pagpapaputi gusto nila mabilis," says Janssen Co, Chief Operating Officer of Cosmetique Asia Corporation.

The whitening soap is formulated with green papaya to help whiten the skin. It also contains Vitarich actives such as Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 to moisturize, improve skin hyrdration, reduce itching, and combat aging—all without that burning sensation. And the best part? With regular use, your skin can whiten in as early as 7 days! Talk about even, glowing skin—puting walang hapdi!

So, now that we know Angelica’s secret, it’s worthy to know that self-care leads to confidence, and that being confident in that skin that you want is what’s truly important. “Kasi kapag confident ka na—kapag lumalabas ka ng bahay, may pupuntahan ka—importante na baon mo yung self-confidence. Kasi pagka wala ka nun, magiging lost ka eh, hindi mo alam yung mga isasagot mo kapag may na-encounter ka na ganito, hindi mo alam kung nasa tamang posisyon ka. As long as confident ka, alam mong nasa tama ka, magiging maganda yung araw mo, magiging maganda yung buhay mo," she says.
