How Donny Pangilinan keeps his skin camera-ready

Being in front of the camera means you’ve gotta always be ready for the spotlight — and for the effortlessly charming Donny Pangilinan, that’s a responsibility he absolutely slays. 

Whether he’s shooting a dramatic scene, attending high-glam events, or meeting fans who adore him, looking fresh and feeling confident are simply part of his everyday vibe.

Now, as the face of Skin by BYS Glow Line, Donny opens up about how the brand has helped him maintain that healthy, camera-ready radiance — despite his hectic schedule, location shoots, and even an upcoming drama series that’s putting his skin to the ultimate test.

“A huge part of what I do requires me to always look fresh and ready for anything,” he says. “That’s why I’m really proud to represent a brand that understands the needs of Filipinos, especially young professionals like me. What I love about the product m is how easy and straightforward everything is. I’m not exactly a skincare expert, so having products that are simple to use but actually work makes all the difference.”

Donny is currently starring in the much-buzzed about action-drama series Roja, where he plays Liam — a head chef-turned-hero caught in a high-stakes hostage crisis at an island resort. 

Think tropical heat, harsh lighting, unpredictable weather, long night shoots — and all that and needing to look flawless. For an actor like him, his skin isn’t just part of his look — it’s part of his performance. 

The slightest break-out or dullness can throw off the whole aura. That’s why skincare isn’t optional — it’s essential.

For Donny, skincare has grown into more than just a “beauty routine,” it’s a full-on self-care ritual that keeps him grounded, no matter how wild the showbiz ride gets.

“Self-care and wellness aren’t just add-ons—they’re what allow me to give my best in everything I do. I try to make time to rest, eat well, and stay active. It’s all about balance. When you take care of yourself from the inside out, everything else follows.”

Keep it simple, keep it consistent. No 20-step routines required (unless you want to).

“It doesn’t have to be a complicated routine—just find what works for you and stick to it. For me, it’s about keeping my skin clean, hydrated, and protected. Drinking a lot of water helps more than people think, too.”

Beyond the serums, the toners, the eye creams… Donny knows that confidence is the ultimate beauty weapon.

“You can have the best products in the world, but nothing beats feeling good about yourself. Take care of your skin, but also take care of your mindset and energy. That’s where real glow starts.”
