Recognized among more talented actresses of her generation following marked performances in several hit shows including “Linlang,” “Incognito,” among others, Kaila Estrada is slowly but surely inching forward, establishing her own niche in an ever-changing local entertainment landscape.
She admitted to feeling huge pressure in sustaining the success but it is something that she welcomes.
“You grow not only through the love, support of your family, you also learn a lot facing uncertainties, challenges,” she said. “Although it’s scary sometimes, I realized that one could not win without stumbling along the way. So, yeah, I try to learn as much as possible, embracing whatever comes my way, good or bad.”
She is hoping to inspire others to be daring, fearless, particularly in the face of adversity.
Kaila urged, “Don’t shy away from creating your seat at the table. And if you don’t have a seat at the table, bring your own chair.”
In an age where women empowerment is gaining huge traction, Kaila is proving herself a worthy torchbearer.
“For me, an empowered woman is someone who is confident, resilient, knows her worth, and faces challenges with grace,” Kaila maintained.
But it wasn’t always the case for her.
Growing up, she admitted to being insecure of her beauty, particularly her dusky complexion.
“My sisters always had amazing skin. I took after my dad’s skin tone. When I was younger, I wasn’t too happy about that. I didn’t think I fit the standard of what many consider beautiful,” Kaila confessed.
Now, as ambassador of Barefaced, a local skincare brand, Kaila is hoping to champion diversity in beauty.
“This partnership means a lot to me,” she said. “I embrace this opportunity to inspire young women to embrace their individuality with confidence. Barefaced is a brand that champions authentic Filipino beauty and is led by empowered women and I’m proud to be part of that.”
Founded in October 2022 by Arriane Reyes-Recella and Eleanor Casao-Roma, Barefaced has gained recognition for its dedication to creating skincare essentials designed for everyday use—ensuring efficacy without compromise.
Barefaced just launched two new products: the Barefaced Sunkissed Tinted Light Sunscreen and the Melt Away Facial Cleanser.
The latest product innovations reflect this philosophy, offering skincare solutions that are both high-performing and gentle on the skin.
