Her skincare staples

“I take off my makeup — very important sa’kin ‘yun,” she emphasizes. From there, it’s all about the classic skincare trio: facial wash, toner, and moisturizer. On days when she’s got more energy, she throws in some eye cream too! 

But she’s not about pretending perfection. “Minsan kasi sa super pagod ko, not gonna lie, nakakalimutan ko mag-skincare,” she confesses. While Jillian may be a star, she’s just like us, who juggle busy days with self-care moments.

Her not-so-secret weapon

With her packed schedule and long taping hours, sleep isn’t always a luxury. That’s when Pretty Secret steps in with concealers and highlighters to bring life back into her look. 

“Lagi akong walang tulog recently kasi back to work na ako, so medyo nakaka-help na may concealer ako sa taping, may mga ginagamit akong highlighters from Pretty Secret,” said the actress. 

These ultimate “pampa-fresh” duo are behind that signature on-cam radiance. Well, it’s the glow-up we all need after an all-nighter.

Her wellness routine

For Jillian, It’s not just about what she puts on her skin but what she puts into her body. “Mas [nag-fo-focus] ako sa healthy diet, drinking water ganu’n. Mas importante sa akin ‘yun ngayon,” she said.

Currently guesting on the action-packed show Batang Riles, Jillian has adopted a more balanced approach to wellness. “Mas balanced na diet, mas healthy,” she shares, pointing out that her increased physical activity made her more conscious of her food choices. And of course, the one thing we all forget: vitamins. 

“[More on] inaalagaan ko talaga po ‘yung kinakain ko ngayon,” she added.

Her workout philosophy

Her workout routine is as dynamic as her acting: jogging, dance classes, and strength training. 

But she knows that recovery is just as important. “Actually, super important din kasi na makapag-unwind,” she shared. Her go-to de-stress rituals? Curling up with a good book and sipping warm tea. 

“Feeling ko, ‘pag happy ‘yung brain mo, nagre-reflect siya sa lahat. And mas healthy ka talaga.” And just like that, she touches on a deeper truth: wellness isn’t just skin-deep, rather it starts in the mind.

In other words, a peaceful mind equals radiant skin. Wellness isn’t just about gym time—it’s about joy, rest, and balance.

Her daily defense

When it comes to daytime skincare, Jillian’s got her non-negotiables, following a series of routine: “I wash my face, toner, then moisturizer, sunscreen, and then make-up,” she listed. 

Her morning mantra? Never skip sunscreen: “Always my  sunscreen!”
