<p><strong>Sue Ramirez </strong>has always had a head-turning beauty. But during an event that marked a milestone for her, her skin glowed even more in her green asymmetrical, back-baring dress. She made her grand entrance into the ballroom and walked over to the stage as she performed Ace of Base&#x27;s &#x27;The Sign,&#x27; which was apt for the #AngSignNaHanapMo campaign that was highlighted that day; one thing that particularly caught my attention was her flawless back—and I&#x27;m sure the other guests noticed this, too.  </p><div><br/></div><p>Minutes before this event started, I chatted and caught up with Sue about the recent events in her life. Our conversation touched on the beauty regimens she adopted during lockdown and the beauty dilemmas she used to struggle with. She opened up about being less confident because of bacne (back acne) and that it had always been her problem from her teens to early 20s. But signs of those pimple marks are no longer visible now.  </p><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/cf0d32f1-d797-4f53-85aa-069eccc6b978_dscf4557.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Sue Ramirez is Silka Green Papaya Soap" s="" latest=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Sue Ramirez is Silka Green Papaya Soap&#x27;s latest ambassadress</span></span></span></div><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/e4c3867f-0bd2-4997-942a-e0f1e2e5c698_batch_silka green papaya soap display.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Sue revealed that what helped treat her bacne was <strong>Silka Green Papaya Soap</strong>. &#x27;I&#x27;ve always had problems with bacne (back acne),&#x27; Sue says. &#x27;Silka <em>kasi</em> has a lot of vitamins, so <em>nag</em>-<em>i</em>-improve <em>hindi lang &#x27;yung</em> complexion <em>mo</em>, also <em>&#x27;yung</em> texture <em>ng balat mo</em>. <em>Hindi na ako nagda</em>-dry <em>ngayon</em>, unlike before. <em>Ngayon</em>, <em>kahit nakakalimutan ko mag</em>-lotion, <em>hindi</em> dry <em>&#x27;yung</em> skin <em>ko</em>, <em>hindi siya nagpuputi</em> [<em>&#x27;pag nakayod</em>].

So, <em>sobrang hiyang ako sa</em> soap <em>na ito</em>.&#x27;</p><div><br/></div><p>The 26-year-old actress, who is fresh from her starring stint in <em><a href="https://metro.style/people/digital-covers/the-broken-marriage-vow-jodi-zanjoe-sue-metro/32529" target="_blank">The Broken Marriage Vow</a></em> (the Philippine adaptation of the British thriller series <em>Doctor Foster</em>), was recently launched as the newest <strong>Silka</strong> ambassadress, and she&#x27;s beyond thrilled to endorse such an iconic beauty brand.       </p><div><br/></div><p>When Sue found out she was tapped to be the homegrown beauty power brand&#x27;s latest endorser, she couldn&#x27;t believe it. She says, &#x27;Honestly, when this was offered to me, I was so, so excited. I&#x27;ve known Silka, and <em>hindi ko siya na</em>-try before. So <em>nu&#x27;ng in</em>-offeran <em>na ako</em> to endorse Silka, <em>agad-agad</em>, <em>hindi pa kami nagshu</em>-shoot, <em>wala pa kaming kahit ano</em>, months before, <em>ginamit ko na po &#x27;yung sabon</em>. And, really, Silka has changed my life, my regimen.

The soap promises fairer, brighter, and softer skin in just 7 days sans the dryness or stings caused by other harsh products. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Since it was introduced in 2002, Silka Green Papaya Soap has been gaining acceptance in the market, and it has grown by 200% since 2016,” shared <strong>Jane Co</strong>, Vice President for Marketing of <strong>Cosmetique Asia Corp</strong>, the company behind Silka. “This is a sign of good things to come for the brand, as we continue working towards our vision to provide Filipinas with quality products that make them look and feel their best.” </p><div><br/></div><p>For a busy actress like Sue, who have two new projects (Viu&#x27;s original K-drama-inspired series <em><strong>K-Love</strong> </em>and upcoming ABS-CBN series <em><strong>Iron Heart</strong></em>), self-care is a non-negotiable aspect of her overall health and well-being. &#x27;We don&#x27;t reach a point <em>na sasabihin natin na</em>, &#x27;<em>Ay shucks</em>, <em>kailangan ko na alagaan &#x27;yung sarili ko ngayon</em>.&#x27; It has to be consistent,&#x27; she points out. &#x27;We have to be consistent with taking care of ourselves. <em>Ang puhunan po natin sa mundo pong ito ay ang sarili po natin</em>. <em>Haharap tayo sa mga tao na mahal natin</em>, <em>sa mga taong hindi natin kilala</em>. <em>Dapat lagi tayong</em> presentable and also, healthy inside and out.&#x27; </p><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/dd56b117-a161-45c2-95f1-bd70cbb55353_batch_dscf4624.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">(From left) Jeff Roxas, Alfred Tan, Hennie Co-Yu, Juanita Co, JN Penafiel, Sue Ramirez, Jane Co, Janssen Co, Apple de Belen, and Timothy Chuongco</span></span></span></div><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/672fd9ad-5c39-4e67-87c2-5cb27e6c36cc_batch_dscf4617.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">(From left) Jeff Roxas, Apple de Belen, Henni Co-Yu, Juanita Co, Sue Ramirez, Jioie Ragel, Jane Co, Janssen Co, and Timothy Chuongco</span></span></span></div><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/258e3026-bb48-4d68-a039-d0dd0dab3160_batch_sue with the co family.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">(Fromleft) Hennie Co-Yu, Juanita Co, Sue Ramirez, Jane Co, and Janssen Co</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Watch the Silka Green Papaya Soap TVC here: </p><div><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSilkaSkincare%2Fvideos%2F422808686641805%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=476&amp;t=0" width="476" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><strong><em>Find Silka in these platforms: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SilkaSkincare" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CjClmIury1m/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@silkaskincare" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5G_O3I_LAUrYB32Yi1Utw" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.cosmetiqueasia.com/" target="_blank">Cosmetique Asia Corporation website</a>, <a href="https://shopee.ph/Silka-Green-Papaya-Whitening-Soap-90g-i.27653726.367700828?sp_atk=ae0c48e1-1fa5-4aee-b2e9-a3d012534240&amp;xptdk=ae0c48e1-1fa5-4aee-b2e9-a3d012534240" target="_blank">Shopee</a>, and <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/silka-green-papaya-soap-135g-i2018866539-s8904419409.html?clickTrackInfo=undefined&amp;search=1&amp;spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.i40.5fca70c6KVcBep" target="_blank">Lazada</a>. </em></strong></div><div><br/></div>
