She sits still and calms herself down to prepare for another long day.</li><li>She loves the Estée Lauder Micro Essence for its hydrating and strengthening powers, which is perfect for their taping sessions in cool Baguio weather. It also preps her skin for the next steps in her routine.</li><li>She&#x27;s also a big believer in the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, a multi-awarded beauty product. She says it gives her face an instant glow, and boosts collagen-production for a brighter, more radiant look. As she turns 40 soon, Jodi knows the value of trusting a hard-working product. She calls it her &#x27;beauty sleep in a bottle&#x27;. </li></ul><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/328d8015-aec7-4ed1-9c94-455bc567f61b_272008244_258967942987267_6060205620652221615_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Radiant and glowing at 39<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> @jodistamaria  </em></span></span></span></span></div><ul><li>Jodi knows the value of play in her busy routine. She admits that she needs moments of play (she loves to travel) to be able to maintain the multi-hyphenate life she leads. Apart from being an actress, she&#x27;s also a mother, an entrepreneur, and an acupuncture detoxification specialist!</li><li>She believes that no matter the amount of makeup or skincare products we use, if we don&#x27;t feel good about ourselves, or believe that we are special and unique, it will be useless. It&#x27;s internal work that we have to do to reach a level of being secure.</li><li>When asked about her beauty philosophy? She simply says, &#x27;Being physically attractive is okay, but don&#x27;t forget to do the inner work. Beauty starts from within. Beauty is how we treat those around us, and how we make them feel when we are around them.&#x27;</li><li>She admits that her eye bags and dark circles are her problem area, so she&#x27;s happy to have discovered Estée Lauder&#x27;s Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex. Because she&#x27;s almost in her 40s, she knows that crow&#x27;s feet, and fine lines are inevitable, but a pea-sized amount of this product helps keep them at bay. </li></ul><div><br/></div><div><em>Swipe through the gallery below for more beauty inspiration from this beautiful face:</em></div><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ad365db8-c043-40c0-99f3-1ff5a419f76d_galleryjodistamaria.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/746e2fa7-c761-4d92-b436-a4b01cbe3072_121271852_339228900712723_436623577587583940_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2202a889-5530-4e77-a334-c0d0f283073a_139000466_1076423556155470_9011893287137481372_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8fbc0f8b-5892-47a3-9de0-4248d83f1244_175108339_1237881113297935_8923993757454019466_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5768b90a-7401-4b25-bf4a-2b93f979f41d_135858235_452976972529824_8162022200386729690_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6541f487-b7d4-4323-9fce-70f65bcaaf3e_250704402_925567198081973_848468500435645659_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/400f0fa0-b403-462b-9645-21b283ae01b8_266703096_616198462765110_4876425883769215332_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d0f202f3-c33b-4fe2-943a-b0f284ebdade_265561791_916425845659906_6449488378212682249_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/deef9019-89c5-48b1-85b0-ff528709c599_272008244_258967942987267_6060205620652221615_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/00ce174b-2fb5-44b7-99e6-59d4cef2b20f_272249277_949785108981655_2712733573417763022_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/99a279a9-a3ed-45d9-849a-91d3edfd393f_272302762_1599204903779232_3479464362176092307_n.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>@jodistamaria</cite></div></div></div></div></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/hair/short-celebrity-haircut-inspiration/32181" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trendy Short Celebrity Hairstyle Ideas That Will Make It Big This Year</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/celebrities/jodi-sta-maria-thoughts-on-the-broken-marriage-vow/32190" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jodi Sta Maria&#x27;s Thoughts On &#x27;The Broken Marriage Vow&#x27; </a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/celebrities/inspiring-quotes-from-birthday-girl-jodi-sta-maria/30522" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">8 Inspiring Quotes From “The Broken Marriage Vow” Star Jodi Sta.
