For Starstruck Season VI Ultimate Female Survivor Klea Pineda, the future is light and clear.
Klea’s dreams are clear to her, so she keeps pushing herself to achieve them.
“Hindi ako tumitigil hangga’t hindi ko ito nakukuha,” she says. That’s what happened when she joined Starstruck VI. Inspired by TV and movie personalities, Klea told herself that she wants to be known by many people and see herself on television and billboards. She auditioned just like everyone else. She prayed hard to get in. And when she did, she gave her all.
“I think nanalo ako dahil nakita ng StarStruck kung gaano ako kaseryoso and determined sa craft ko. Kung ano yung mga levels na pinaghirapan ko at yung pagiging determinado ko sa ginagawa ko. Dapat may goal ka na aabutin, naka-mindset , just trust yourself,” shares Klea, who also won at a pageant in District 5, Quezon City.
The future is indeed light and clear for Klea, and this is seen in her bright skin and beautiful countenance. Klea only trusts The Skin Specialist (TSS) for her Clear Acne laser treatment.
I’ve been having problems with acne due to stress and heavy use of make up, I want to have this removed but I am afraid of pain and pricking.
“Naisip ko nung una baka masakit kasi laser. Takot talaga ako sa sakit. Pero okay naman siya,” says the Encantandia star.
Klea admits she did not go out without makeup before. But after several Clear Acne treatments, the first laser for acne in the Philippines, she is more confident to go out even without foundation or concealer.
“While there are many treatment options available for acne, both prescription and over-the-counter, these do not always work for everyone. When acne is particularly stubborn or severe, laser treatment for acne may be needed. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, has no side effects and achieves a clearer, smoother complexion with lasting results,” says Dr. Jean Marquez, founder and owner of TSS.
Klea goes to TSS not only for Clear Acne, but to relax as well.
“Hindi pa ako artista, diyan na talaga dahil alam kong hindi nila ako pababayaan. They only want the best for me. Especially Dr. Jean, she is like a mother to me because of the care she shows me. I trust her,” says Klea. Her treatments and procedures in TSS also include facials every two weeks and Silk Peel.
Klea likes Clear Acne because of the visible improvement on her facial skin.
“Nag-lighten yung skin ko sa face, my acne is gone, have smoother and glowy skin. I recommend Clear Acne to my friends and relatives. For me, it’s perfect!” adds Klea.
Clear Acne is the first technology to combine a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology to treat acne vulgaris safely and effectively. The non-ablative Er:Glass 1540 nm laser deeply penetrates the skin, causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands destroying P. acnes bacteria and reducing sebum production while leaving the epidermis intact. The integrated vacuum mechanism extracts accumulated sebaceous material from the pores, while contact cooling protects the skin, reducing pain and awing for safer and more effective treatment of the sebaceous glands with the dermis.
“It gives a gentle rejuvenating effect, diminishing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen renewal. It clears bacteria and oil glands more effectively than traditional treatments,” says Dr. Marquez.
Though busy with tapings for Encantandia on GMA as well as guest appearances, Klea continues her studies, saying, “Even though I’m in show business, I still want to go to school.” She wants to have her own business like restaurants someday and also join the Miss Universe.
“Okay din kahit na ano pang beauty pageants. Gusto ko makoronahan at ma-represent ang Philippines sa iba’t ibang countries,” adds Klea.
Klea has her love life in the backseat for now, as she focuses on her career. She maintains her bonding moments with friends. She also visits the Monasterio de Sta. Clara in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City with her family to wish and pray.
Klea also goes to the gym thrice a week to maintain her fitness. She eats less rice, less sweets, and less carbs. To relax, Klea goes shopping.
Klea is just beginning her career in showbiz. So far, she has learned to be confident and strong despite the challenges in the industry. In life, she just goes with the flow.
“Sumabay ka lang sa alon ng buhay kasi sa dulo for sure may magandang nag-aabang para sa ‘yo,” ends Klea.
