April 27 ------ Summer has arrived, and everyone can feel the heat. To beat the heat, everyone starts doing different summer hacks like drinking cold beverages and bringing out mini pools. Despite the scorching weather, many Kapuso stars still look fresh and fabulous on and off camera, sparking curiosity about their summer secrets.
In an interview with Aubrey Carampel for 24 Oras, some Kapuso artists shared their summer essentials for beating the heat this summer. Actresses Gabbi Garcia and Ysabel Ortega emphasized the importance of staying hydrated and applying sunscreen during hot weather. The latter also stays refreshed by carrying portable fans and other cooling items. "So, palagi na ako nagdadala ng mga refreshing items like, for example, if kailangan ko maghilamos, 'pag mainit throughout the day. Ang usual ko nagdadala ako ng portable fan kasi lalo ngayon sobrang init and, of course, water. Kailangan talaga natin maging hydrated," Ysabel said.
Forever Young star Olive May and new Sparkle artist Rein Hillary prioritize skin care, especially sunblock, cleanser, and moisturizer. "Tulad sa Pilipinas ang init, ang daming problems natin parang nagdry-dry. Ang init kasi ganiyan, so ako ngayon nag-i-invest ako talaga sa skin care," Olive said. Rein added," As a morena, siyempre, important sa akin na yung sunblock. Yung sunblock ko is not really just for skin color but also to protect it against the sun rays, di ba. Then, siyempre yung tulog po." Widows' War star Brent Valdez also emphasized the importance of sunscreen, "Hindi ako lumalabas ng hindi nagsa-sublock. Iyon talaga, SPF 50 pataas 'yan. Kasi I think, iyon yung main cost ng premature aging, yung sun damage also." In addition to skincare and hydration, some Kapuso stars revealed they're focusing on achieving their body goals this summer.
Sparkle 10 ladies Ashley Ortega and Shuvee Etrata are consistently working out for their upcoming shows Pulang Araw and Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre, respectively. "Usually I go for cardio all the time and ab workout para, di ba, mas confident din tayo when we go on a vacation trip," Ashley said. Shuvee added, "Kailangan din namin talagang magkaroon ng magandang katawan because our costume is medyo hindi siya conservative, medyo may pinapakita siyang tiyan, medyo may pinapakita siyang katawan." Apart from the Sparkle 10 girls, Widows' War star Rita Daniela also revealed she's focusing on getting back in shape. Besides dieting, the singer-actress mentioned having body treatments to achieve her pre-pregnancy figure. Rita said, "I'm sure maraming makaka-relate sa akin once na naging nanay ka na Hindi basta-basta ka kasing makakabalik doon sa shape mo, lalo na if you're a nursing mom." The first-time mom revealed she plans to go to the beach with her son, Uno, to spend some quality time together. Since her son hasn't seen the ocean yet, the actress was eager to let him experience the beach vacation. "Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin nadadala yung anak ko sa dagat. Hindi pa siya nakakaexperience ng beach, ng sand masyado, ng water."
