When she turned 55 last March 4, she devoted herself to pursuing aging naturally and confidently.

"Aging is representative of all the wisdom one gains through the years," she said in a statement. "I'm not afraid of it. Instead, I embraced it."

Zulueta is not free from stress. Apart from being an actress, she is also as a mother of two and a wife to the Special Assistant to the President Anton Lagdameo Jr.

The actress also takes time to fly to the US East Coast where her eldest son is studying in college.

But she does not let the stress conquer her peace.

“I am an advocate of aging gracefully and naturally. But that is only possible if one keeps healthy, happy, and at peace," she said.

“Peace of mind is very important and reducing stress. Also, when you are happy and you give back to the people, the feeling you get from there is something you cannot equate from receiving luxuries or getting external validation such as an acting award,” Zulueta emphasized.

Her dermatologist, Dr. Clarissa Cellona, described the actress as one who “exudes beauty and confidence on and off screen.”

“I am constantly in awe of her commitment to maintaining her youthful appearance through non-invasive treatments that have allowed her to age with grace and elegance, while looking effortlessly stunning," Cellona said.
