At 47, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo continues to evolve not just as an actress and host, but as a woman fully embracing her age with grace and honesty.In an interview during a beauty product launch where she is named as the newest ambassador, Judy Ann opened up about finding newfound confidence in her skin, sharing how she never expected to be endorsing a beauty brand this late in her career.“Hindi ko talaga naisip na may darating pang chance for me… Suntok sa buwan na ‘to,” she admitted. “I’m 47 already and I’m not really known to be an ambassador of any beauty brand.”She recalled that when she was younger, she endorsed products like shampoo, but never imagined she’d be tapped to represent skincare.&quot;Alam ko kung hanggang saan ang ganda ko… Alam ko kung ano &#x27;yung meron ako,” she said with a laugh.As someone with sensitive skin, Judy Ann used to mix and match various products just to find what worked for her. Over time, she realized her routine had become too complicated.Now, she’s simplified her skincare and focuses on giving her skin time to breathe especially after wearing heavy makeup for hours on set.“Ngayon, ang ginagawa ko after work, nagta-tanggal na ako agad ng makeup. I always make it a point na nakakahinga &#x27;yung skin ko.”But more than beauty products, what truly transformed Judy Ann’s outlook is her mindset. She admitted there was a time she’d be hard on herself for slowing down.“Before, I used to be so hard on myself. Parang napakatamad mo, Juday. Ayaw mo kumilos… And then I realized, okay lang. I need to be kind to myself.”She has since let go of the pressure to maintain a perfect routine, instead embracing rest and balance. “Feeling ko, deserve ko naman &#x27;yung mga tamad days. And it’s okay.”In her pursuit of wellness, she has also shifted to a healthier lifestyle. She avoids caffeine, starts her mornings with hot lemon water, and practices juice cleansing from time to time. “For you to be able to feel good and to look good, you have to take care of your gut,” she explained.While she’s not rushing back into acting, Judy Ann remains busy with Judy Ann’s Kitchen, and is currently working on a cookbook. Two of her acting projects, &quot;Call My Manager&quot; and &quot;Bagman,&quot; are also expected to premiere soon.Still, her priority is clear. “Most of the time, I give it to my family, to my kids. And there’s always a day in a week that I give to myself.”
