MANILA, DECEMBER 5, 2010 (STAR) As the new ambassador for House of Obagi, Pia Guanio's face is on billboards. With a huge campaign for an internationally recognized skin care brand and long career she is still passionately in love with, Pia is definitely at the top of her game.
At 36, Pia is still the same, low-maintenance girl she was before she shot to fame. "I was always a very no-fuss kind of person. Every time I would get a haircut, it would have to be wash and wear. I like to make myself super busy and concerns like that would be very taxing for me. I always style the fastest and easiest way possible. It was only when I went on-cam that I had to be more meticulous about clothes and dressing up," Pia shares.
Pia admits that being athletic growing up, she was so into sports and fitness that she really didn't think much of hair and make-up. She shares, "When you get a little bit older, you get more conscious of those things. When I was younger, wala akong pakialam talaga. I love myself tan. I didn't care about premature aging and sun exposure. Basta I got a good color, I didn't care if it was going to wrinkle up my skin. But after I've been told by doctors and articles that it's bad, I decided to heed their advice. They also made me aware of the things I have to do to take care of my skin and my face. And you sort of have to take care of that when that's what you make money from."
Today, Pia is conscious about her skin. "I'm actually quite religious about skin care. If I am told by the right people, like right now I have a reputable Board-certified doctor, I really obey it to the letter. Obagi products really work well for any skin type. I really appreciate it so much, because I've tried other products before and I just put them on my face and hope that they were actually working underneath. I wouldn't see the results right away. But when I started using Obagi, right away, my skin feel smoother. I feel better after I put them on."
The face of Obagi regularly undergoes the Zo Visage Therapy, an anti-aging treatment that effectively helps restore skin's elasticity and firmness, leaving skin glowing and rejuvenated. Being under harsh lights and playing a lot of sports, Pia's skin is always exposed to different elements that could speed up the aging of the skin.
She also has the Glucenta with Vitamin C injectable, which combines the anti-aging and skin smoothing effects of glutathione, placenta and vitamin C for more supple, younger-looking skin. As maintenance, Pia undergoes a Powerpeel Treatment and has the occasional pimple injected. For her daily skin care regimen, Pia uses the Obagi Nu-Derm System, one of Obagi's best-selling products. Available in six different combinations that you can now also add or remove products from to better suit your skin type, Obagi Nu-Derm keeps skin fresh, hydrated, and healthy.
For Pia, a powerful, beautiful woman is someone who's confident, knows what she wants and gets it — or at least tries. "She is someone who loves herself in her own skin," she adds. And with Obagi as your skin care partner, it would be difficult not to feel that way.
To date, there are over 760 Obagi-affiliated physicians, surgeons, dermatologists and skin care experts nationwide. House of Obagi can refer its walk-in customers to these doctors for continuing consultation. Aside from providing quality medical supervision, putting up House of Obagi also aims to prevent the unauthorized parallel sellers and to protect consumers.
