Angelina Cruz, a multi-talented singer, actress, model, and content creator, may appear effortlessly radiant today, but she recalls a time in high school when she struggled with sensitive skin and frequent breakouts.
The daughter of two well-known actors, Cruz reflects on her journey of self-care and skincare. “My skin has always been sensitive. I used to struggle with breakouts until I found something that worked for me,” she shares.
Her skincare routine took a turn for the better when she discovered Mentholatum products during her travels abroad. Receiving them as gifts from family and friends, she was immediately impressed by their effectiveness and accessibility. “Mentholatum’s formulas are perfect for me. I love these Japanese products because they are lightweight and designed with Asian skin in mind, making them ideal for Filipinas,” she explains.
As the brand’s first local ambassador, Cruz is excited to represent products that align with her values and personal skincare needs. “I’ve trusted Mentholatum for years, so it feels authentic to be their ambassador now,” she adds.
Among her favorites is Mentholatum Acnes, which contains amino acids, Vitamin C, and 95 percent pure Centella Asiatica (CICA) extract — renowned for its ability to regenerate and restore flawless skin. She also swears by Mentholatum’s LIPCARE products to keep her lips soft and hydrated. “I can’t go a day without lip balm because my lips tend to get chapped,” she admits. The Lip Therapy, with its menthol sensation, helps relieve soreness, burning, and dryness, while the Lip Ice Magic Color adds a natural pink hue to her lips. The Lip Ice Fruity Strawberry, made with real fruit juice and SPF 15, is another essential in her beauty arsenal.
Outside of skincare, Cruz is balancing multiple roles. She is currently working on her thesis and is on track to graduate soon. Fans can also expect exciting new projects, though she’s keeping details under wraps. Amid her busy schedule, Cruz finds time for self-care, unwinding with a relaxing shower and a soothing skincare routine.
Her inspiration comes from her mother, Sunshine Cruz, who she admires not only for her beauty but for her strength and resilience. “It’s no secret how beautiful she is on the outside, but I’ve seen firsthand her resilience as a single mother raising my sisters and me. Her perseverance, wisdom, and inner beauty inspire me every day.”
Cruz’s journey of self-care and inner strength continues to inspire her fans, reminding them that beauty is as much about nurturing oneself as it is about looking good on the outside.
