Donny is the newest face of Belo’s ADVAYouth laser

The process of aging is gradual and varies from person to person. It is generally believed that the signs of aging begin to appear in our mid to late twenties. At this point, the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping our skin firm and elastic, begins to decrease. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles may start to appear, and the skin may become less firm and elastic.

There’s always a point in our twenties when we ask the million-dollar question: “When exactly do I start aging?” Many sources will give you mixed answers, but Dr. Vicki Belo has a hard and fast answer: “Aging starts at 25, because that’s when your hormones decline.”

It’s not a secret that everybody ages. But how to delay aging is also no longer a mystery. This is where prejuvenation comes in: the practice of starting anti-aging treatments and skincare at a younger age to prevent signs of aging that tend to catch up on us later in life. So what’s the best way to kickstart your era of prejuvenation? Well, Donny Pangilinan just might have the answer to that. 

 

From the face to the name, Donny needs no further introduction, other than him being the newest face of Belo’s ADVAYouth laser. Successfully reviving classic matinee idol charms and unapologetic sweetness with his longtime leading lady, Donny is the poster boy of living your best life in your ‘20s. But those who lead the same life know that being constantly screen-strapped, beach-bound and matted with makeup leaves us exposed to UV damage, acne, acne scars, sun spots and skin texture. 

 

Belo ADVALight is a skin treatment that’s literally a treat for your skin, thanks to the world’s first and only solid-state yellow laser, made up of two wavelengths: one that heals your scars and hyperpigmentation, as well as zaps the bacteria that causes acne, and another that calms down the oiliness and boosts the collagen that keeps wrinkles and fine lines absent. “Prior to ADVALight, we could only treat acne through medicine and topical solutions,” Dr. Belo shares. “Now, because of this laser machine that shrinks pores, inflammation and redness, you can have clear and refined skin by using ADVALight every two weeks, for four to six sessions.” Clearly, ADVALight has all the perks of prejuvenation wrapped up in an easy, hassle-free, and virtually painless 30-minute session you don’t even need to recover from. Suffering from scars that’s not on your face? ADVALight can target those on the body, too.

 

With the help of Donny Pangilinan, Belo invites 20 and 30-something go-getters to keep their eyes on the prize and practice the science of delayed gratification: in a few years, consistent sessions of ADVALight will make you look—and—feel like you’re not a day over 25.

How Donny Pangilinan Makes His Days Extra Magical

Magic can be found anywhere – it can be random encounters, unexpected surprises, or little things that make you happy every day. Actor Donny Pangilinan attracts magic into his life through his hobbies, the close connections he makes in and outside of acting, and an attitude of gratitude for the opportunities he receives.

Adding to his growing list of accomplishments is becoming the newest endorser of Jack ‘n Jill Magic Crackers. “I feel so blessed and grateful that I’m part of the Magic family!” Donny said. “It’s such a fun brand that I really do see myself eating it every day. I’m just excited to share this with all of my supporters and those who want to know more about Magic Crackers and all its products.”

Actor Donny Pangilinan is the newest endorser of Magic Crackers. 

And as the newest member of the Magic Crackers family, Donny shared some simple tips on how people can make their days fun and more magical.   

Start your day with a goal

No matter how busy you may be, Donny believes that doing something that will keep you going is the best way to start your day. “It can be small goals that can be as simple as making your bed, listening to a specific song, or watching a TED Talk,” he said.

 

Surround yourself with good people

Donny loves spending time with his loved ones because “they help me stay on track despite my busy schedule, and they keep me on my feet.” His advice is to connect with people that bring out the best in you and push you to reach your dreams.

 

The young actor makes moments with loved ones more magical by doing the things they love such as traveling, playing sports, and arranging get-togethers at home. “For your family gatherings, you can make a charcuterie board with Magic Flakes Plain as its creamy-sarap and tamang alat flavor goes well with cheese, ham, and fruits. It’s one of my favorites,” Donny shared.

Do things with confidence

“I think it’s about remembering why you’re doing what you’re doing, making sure you put your heart and mind into what you do. Whatever you’re doing at the moment, you have to be all in. Can’t be one foot in, one foot out,” Donny said.

 

As an actor, Donny has to work with different people so he makes sure that he builds chemistry with them, and it’s about taking the extra step to get to know someone. “Put your walls a bit lower and allow yourself to be a little vulnerable and more open to each other. That’s the biggest secret to building chemistry, I think.”

Be a light to someone’s day

It’s also important to share the magic with other people through simple gestures of kindness. “The way to bring magic to anyone's day is to be a light – say something simple but nice and sincere to make their day, and be there to listen to them,” Donny said. Another simple way to brighten up people’s day is by sharing a pack of Magic Flakes with them for merienda.

 

Additionally, Donny extends this effort to all his fans, saying, “The biggest thing for me is to connect with them. Being able to make them smile and make them happy is just the cherry on top of everything.” He added that he makes sure to bring something different with every project to bring more enjoyment to fans. “Grabe yung efforts nila. This is our way of giving back to them.”

Donny may be busy with work and personal activities, but he’s proof that you can always bring happiness and enjoyment to everyone around you. Just like a pack of Magic Flakes, you can make every moment fun and magical. Each crunchy bite of Magic Flakes and other Magic products will help you break away from the daily monotony dahil sarap ‘pag may Magic!

When I hear J.Co donuts,  the first thing  that comes to my mind is Al Capone.

Its gotta be one of my favorite donut variant of all time and the one that keeps me coming back to J.Co  despite the long lines.


JCo Donuts’ Alcapone soft bite donut is topped with Belgian white chocolate and roasted slices of Californian almonds. It has just the right balance of creamy  sweetness into every bite.
