Now glowing: Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach

MANILA, Philippines - Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach, beauty queen, host, dance diva, sports enthusiast, wife, and mother of adorable twins, is the latest endorser of Facial Care Centre.

“I have very sensitive skin. And it doesn’t help that I’m out in the sun a lot — wakeboarding, playing badminton, basketball, and biking. I slather on sunblock religiously, but it’s still not enough,” shares Charlene, who admits that engaging in sports is her way of de-stressing, and bonding with her family.

As a celebrity, Charlene feels the pressure of having to look her best all the time.

“And of course, we all age! But thankfully, because of the treatments I’ve been getting from Facial Care, I don’t have to worry about blemishes and fine lines,” enthuses the beauty queen-turned-celebrity mom.

Charlene has been going to Facial Care Centre since 2003, way before she was asked to officially endorse the brand.

“Since I entered showbiz, I haven’t endorsed any skin care center at all. It had to be something I actually go to and truly believe in. Since I’ve been a regular client for years now, it’s an honor to be chosen as Facial Care’s newest endorser,” she says.

Facing Sagging

According to Dr. Shayla Valdez of Facial Care Center, Charlene’s skin is indeed sensitive and if exposed under the sun, “she will be prone to sagging, wrinkles, freckles, and prominent dark pigmentation.”

Before treatment, Dr. Valdez notes, Charlene’s skin looked tired and dehydrated, and the tone was also uneven.

“She had redness on some parts of her skin while other parts were paler. This is due to sun and lighting exposure,” Dr. Valdez explained.

To rehydrate, rejuvenate, repair, and soften Charlene’s skin, Dr. Valdez performed the Facial Treatment with Collagen (FTC) on her celebrity client. “This treatment is ideal for her because she’s always exposed to sun and lighting — it dehydrates her skin, not to mention the makeup she has to put on for work, which makes her sensitive skin dry. If your skin is dry, the wrinkles will show. The Collagen Mask deeply moisturizes the skin and instantly reduces fine lines and wrinkles.”

I Can ‘Peel’ It

Charlene’s favorite treatments at Facial Care Center are the Diamond Peel and the Collagen Mask. “I like getting the Diamond Peel or the Collagen Mask two days before attending an event because they make my face feel so clean and radiant.”

Using a diamond dust-coated wand, the Diamond Peel exfoliates and vacuums off the old surface of the skin, revealing a smoother, clearer, and more radiant one.

“The treatment exfoliated Charlene’s dead skin and also tightened her skin by stimulating collagen production. The Diamond Peel really gives her skin that extra glow,” elaborates Dr. Valdez.

To improve her facial contours, Charlene opts for the Skin Tone Re-energizer (STR). It’s a safe and effective treatment that uses low-frequency microcurrent impulses that improve facial contour, lifts sagging skin, and reduces fine lines and creases.

“The STR works like a charm. My friends always tell me I look younger — of course, we all like to hear that, di ba? And the STR keeps my skin toned and lifted. It gives your face an instant definition,” she says with a grin.

Being in show business, it kind of entails Charlene to put in a little more effort into taking care of herself. “I make a conscious effort to take care of myself. Don’t we all? Maybe even if I wasn’t a celebrity, I’d still take good care of my skin. If you look good, then you feel good, right?”

Charlene has been a satisfied Facial Care client for almost seven years now. “There’s absolutely no reason for me to try other centers,” she says with a glow in her lovely eyes.

Top 5 reasons why Charlene loves Facial Care Centre

• Privacy. “As a celebrity, privacy is important and it’s one thing that I’m really particular about. Facial Care is tried and tested when it comes to privacy matters; I know they value their clients more than anything. I’ve been a client for almost seven years now and no one knew about it before I became an endorser. I appreciate that they are very discreet. I’m really satisfied with them.”

• Beautiful skin. “I always have nice skin because of them. And after just a few sessions, I got the results I wanted; I felt my skin tighten right after my treatment. There really was an instant lift there — they make you look good and feel good. And if you get instant results with their facials and the different treatments that Facial Care has, why try other things?”

• Non-invasive treatments. “It’s so scary to go through something that’s invasive and there’s no way to reverse the process anymore. It’s really a good thing that Facial Care offers so many treatments that make you look and feel better about yourself, without the surgery. You can feel the gentleness when they touch your face, it’s pleasant and relaxing.”

• First-class service. “The first time I tried Facial Care in 2003, I just really stayed with them. I’ve been going there for years! Another thing I’ve loved about Facial Care is the way they take care of you. They are gentle on your face, the treatments aren’t painful. Everyone’s so nice and the ambience is so relaxing.”

• It’s worth it. “I’ve also tried other centers, but after I tried Facial Care Centre for the first time, I’ve made it my personal choice to stay with them. Not only do I see visible results, I also get compliments from friends all the time.”
