The frustration at finding the right solution for a “perfect” skin drove actor Christian Bables to create his own skincare brand.
The “Die Beautiful” star admitted that his job’s high demand for that glowing skin was a major consideration that led him to plan his own brand that took four years in the making.
“Ganito pala ‘yung feeling nang nanganganak, ganito palang pakiramdam, ‘di ba?” Christian said at his own skincare brand’s launch.
“Kidding aside, ang sarap sa pakiramdam kasi this is four years in the making. And finally, I felt like it was ready to present WildSkyn to the public,” he added.
In a world of glitter and glamor and where beauty is a premium, Christian revealed his own insecurity about his skin.
“Ako din ay may sariling skin struggles. So, ang tagal ko nang gustong ma-solusyunan, e, wala akong mahanap,” he said.
The actor confided about his struggle on embracing his own skin marked with an uneven skintone and acne marks in an Instagram post.
He said that there were brands that almost addressed his skin issues, but those did not help him achieve the glow that he wanted. Thus, he pursued his own skincare brand.
Apart from addressing his skin woes, Christian said that establishing his own brand is his gift for himself.
“I’m in an industry where perfection is a must. And sadly, I’m not perfect. I’m far from being perfect. And, it took me a very long time to finally accept that,” he said.
“So, finally, nung na-accept ko na siya… ako mismo nag-hanap ako ng solusyon doon sa problems ko,” he added.
When asked why he named the brand WildSkyn, Christian said, “Because confidence and healing doesn’t always come pretty. Sometimes, or most of the time, it comes wild. So WildSkyn.”
“And trivia, I came up with WildSkyn while I was eating at Wildflour.”
