Diana Zubiri is one of the celebrity fit inspirations of many Filipinos. However, the actress admits that she, too, has some insecurities in her body.
One of these is her arms which makes her go under non-invasive treatment because, she said, “Nalalakihan ako.”
She further explained, “May time na sa TV, di ba, kahit na payat ako sa personal, sabi ng iba, pero hindi ako napapayatan kapag napapanood ko yung hitsura ko sa TV.
“It's more on kasi sa braso ko, yung boobs ko medyo malaki, so kapag naka-side view, yun talaga yung unang nakikita sa TV. So, kapag first time akong nakikita ng mga tao, yun ang laging ano sa akin, 'Ang payat mo pala sa personal.'
“Yun talaga, parang naaapektuhan ako dun. Nagwo-work out ako saka yung exilift, pampaliit ng tiyan at ng braso.”
The said treatment is one of the many plans of Cara Aesthetics for their first celebrity endorser.
Diana said she didn't mind doing cosmetic enhancement on her body.
“Well, ayaw ko namang sumali lang sa uso. Pero kung kailangan ko na, okay naman. Basta huwag lang siguro sosobra,” she told GMANetwork.com and a few select entertainment media during her contract signing with Cara Aesthetics.

Aside from being conscious about her arms, Diana also opened up about experiencing postpartum after giving birth to her third child, Amira Jade, in 2020.
“Yung mga iyak-iyak na wala lang naman, naranasan ko rin yun. Plus, siyempre, yung physical appearance, hindi mo basta-basta matatanggap. Yung mga feeling bloated, manas talaga, yun ang mga pinagdaanan ko,” she recalled.
The Mga Batang Riles actress felt relieved that she got through this phase of motherhood.
She said, “Happy ako na pinagdaanan ko siya at nakabalik ako sa dating katawan ko. Nakabalik na ako sa… hindi naman sexy, pero at least… I'm still trying to lose.”
She added, “Proud din ako kasi habang nasa Australia ako, nakapagpa-breastfeed ako ng 18 months. Yun talaga ang pinakaano ko as a mom kasi nga pandemic baby siya. Sa Australia, walang help, ako lang at asawa ko ang nag-alaga. So, okay lang for me, noong time na 'yon, talagang hindi ako maganda kasi wala naman din akong pinaggagandahan doon. Lahat ng mga tao doon ay equal kaya dedma na.”
Right now, Diana admits she follows a skincare routine to keep healthy and glowing skin.
“Dati kasi hindi ako talaga mahilig. You know, kapag bata ka, masyado kang confident, 'Ay, hindi ko pa kailangan ng kung anu-ano sa face,” she said.
Diana realized the importance of skincare when she and her family moved to Australia.
She related, “Noong lumipat ako sa Australia, doon ko na-feel yung aging. Iba rin ang weather doon, so doon ako nagsimula. Pero para kasing iba yung mga products doon, di ba? Hindi pang-Asian. So, noong na-try ko dito yung products nila, sabi ko, parang ito yung para sa akin.
“Kasi, nag-try ako ng iba't iba doon, hindi siya effective--madaming lumabas na freckles and nagkaka-sunburn ako bigla. Mahirap siyang matanggal, matagal. Kaya noong nag-try ako ng sunscreen, 'tapos bumalik ako sa Australia, effective siya.
“So, yun ang dapat talagang hanapin natin sa skin natin, kung magiging effective o magkakaroon ng positive result.”
When asked what her usual routine, Diana answered, “Siyempre, kailangang linisin mo nang mabuti yung mukha mo. Bago matulog, dapat may nilalagay ka rin na night cream. Pagkagising sa umaga, same, hugasan mo ulit ang mukha mo and back to moisturizer and sunscreen.”
In the end, Diana reiterated, “Ngayon, kailangan ko na talagang i-maintain yung kutis.”
