Alden Richards is not one to invest time and effort putting on sunscreen.
Not only is he not used to the idea, he also doesn’t like the feeling.
“Malagkit, mainit, hassle, lalo na kapag nagmamadali ka,” he explained.
But in an ever-changing world where being out and about could also mean getting burnt by the harmful rays of the sun, he has since changed his mind about sunscreen.
Alden related, “When I learned how ultraviolet radiation could actually cause skin cancer dun ako medyo napagisip. I’ve been using sunscreen since.”
His sunscreen of choice? Brilliant Skin Essentials sunscreen gel-cream.
“I like it kasi it offers ample protection pero hindi siya malagkit or greasy,” said Alden.
Alden loves the product so much he eventually agreed to endorse the same.
“Ako kasi when I endorse products, gusto ko yung ginagamit ko din,” he said. “Yung tipong kaya kong panindigan. Na pinaniniwalaan ko din.”
Brilliant Skin Essentials CEO Glenda Dela Cruz is very happy with Alden joining her roster of celebrity endorsers.
“Matagal ko nang pangarap ito e,” she enthused. “Isa ako sa milyon-nilyong fans ni Alden and it’s quite an honor to have him as endorser.”
Alden feels very much the same.
“Kung fan ko siya, fan niya rin ako,” he said. “I know Miss Glenda’s story and I like it na masipag at matiyaga siya. Her empire is the product of her hard work. I like that. Nakaka-relate ako. As everyone knows, I started quite small in this industry, walang koneksyon, walang kakilala, pero nagpursige ako hanggang marating ko ang estado ko ngayon. I feel like kami ni Miss Glenda, we’re cut from the same cloth.”
The actor likes Glenda so much, he is actually open to the idea of them collaborating on other projects.
Alden related, “Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, magaling na singer si Miss Glenda and, you know, I’m actually thinking na baka someday, magkaroon ng chance na magka-collaborate kami. Tignan natin.”
