LIST: Janine Gutierrez's secrets to clear skin
If you've ever wondered what makes Dragon Lady star Janine Gutierrez a stunner, you will realize that it's not just her talent that makes her a star but it's also her beautiful face.
And in an industry where having to put on layers and layers of makeup is a daily activity, Janine makes sure to keep her skin in tip-top shape.
In her latest YouTube tutorial, the 29-year-old actress shared her step-by-step skincare routine, from removing her makeup down to moisturizing her lips.
Here, we've broken down Janine's 10 secrets to getting clear skin:
Remove your make-up
In order to remove the layers of makeup that Janine would wear for her tapings, she cultivated the habit of cleansing her face with makeup wipes.
With gentle wiping motions, one sheet is enough to remove all the layers of foundation, concealer, eye shadow, and mascara she has on.
Janine mentions, “Normally, hindi ko na pinupwersa na matanggal yung mascara because it usually falls off on its own in the shower.”
Cleanse your face
To make sure that her face is free from dirt and oil thoroughly, she uses a gentle cleanser or facial wash to clean her face.
Double cleanse!
After rinsing, Janine goes in for a double take.
By using micellar water, she wipes her face clean, making sure she doesn't miss any spot.
She wipes her face with an upward motion just like what her grandma advises her to do.
“Always do it upwards so that there's no downward tension and you don't sag your own face from this repetitive motion you do every day.”

Banish pimples with pimple cream
Janine mentions that she too experiences breakouts once in a while.
So, if she needs to be picture-perfect the next day, she goes to her dermatologist to prevent the pimple from breaking out even further.
Otherwise, she would apply a gentle pimple cream to combat and dry her pimples fast.
Toner!
After cleansing, she reaches for a toner that is not only alcohol-free but also uses natural ingredients.
Janine, who has sensitive skin, mentions that it is important for one to find the right products for your skin type.
“Before you buy the toner, mag-research muna.
“So that you know what toner is best for your skin type, for your concerns, and for your goals for your skin.”
Oil or Moisturizer
Whether or not you prefer to use moisturizer, the important thing is to bring back the natural oils that your skin might have lost during the cleansing stage.
And for Janine, she prefers to use a renewal face oil to keep her skin hydrated.
She puts 4 drops of the oil on her palm, warms it up by rubbing her hands together, and pats the product on her face.

Serum
After the oil, she adds another layer of serum to combat aging.
“If you start young, you stay young,” she says.
“They often ask what age are you supposed to start serums and other similar products. Some would say, in your 20's? So I guess is prevention is always better than the cure.”
Eye Cream
With a small applicator, Janine then applies the cream around her eye area.
From under her eyes to the top of her brows, she massages the product thoroughly for an even application.
She says, “Eye cream is supposed to reduce wrinkles and dark eye circles.”
Jade Roller
To improve the circulation of blood in her face, Janine uses a jade roller all over.
For her, this is an extra step to prevent wrinkles and avoid sagging skin.
