MANILA – The secret to being beautiful and sexy is maintaining good hygiene, according to actress Marian Rivera, who was hailed as FHM magazine’s sexiest woman in the Philippines this year.
In an interview with The Philippine Star, which was published on Sunday, Rivera said she equates beauty to cleanliness.
“Ako, basta sa akin ang babaeng malinis, maganda,” she said. “Every time pagkatapos ng shoot, I really remove makeup. Every night, naglilinis ako ng mukha, naglalagay ng toner, saka moisturizer. Kung pwede pa ako maglagay ng mask bago matulog, naglalagay ako.”
In trying to keep herself fresh all day, Rivera said she does not think twice in buying expensive facial cleanses.
“Kahit ano’ng mahal ng product, huwag nilang paghinayangan kung ilalagay nila sa face nila. Mag-invest talaga sila. And then be happy inside and out,” she said.
Rivera, however, admitted she still exerts a lot of effort in keeping her figure.
“I exercise, like running, Zumba, muay Thai, dancing, swimming and also I do Spider-Man. (Laughs) Joke lang ‘yung Spider-Man,” she said.
Choosing the right food also plays an important role in being sexy, Rivera said.
“I do not diet. Wheatgrass lang. Kumakain din naman ako pero hindi naman 'yung OA na kain nang kain. At saka kung kaya every night na mag-tea, nag-ti-tea ako talaga,” she said.
In fact, Rivera admitted that she is a chocoholic as she considers the sweet her daily guilty pleasure.
But sexiness is more than just skin-deep, the actress said.
“Siguro kapag mayroon ka talagang bilib sa sarili mo at alam mo na kaya mong dalhin 'yung sarili mo, para sa akin sexy ka. Whether wearing long-sleeves with pants or other clothes, sexy ka basta kaya mong dalhin yung sarili mo at confident ka na parang ‘Kaya ko ‘to,’” she said.
