Actress Dimples Romana admitted she has been burdened with insecurities while working on Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, a teleserye starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo in 2002.
“Growing up, I didn’t have good skin. Nung days ko, kami nina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd Cruz, yung pimple ko parang pag tumubo sa admiral talaga, yung sa ilong, sa gilid. Mako-connect the dots mo, kaya nakaka-relate ako sa may pinagdadaanan na ganon,” Dimples narrated in a report from Pilipino Star Ngayon.
Because of this, the Kadenang Ginto actress developed insecurities. She was only 12 years old when she started in the industry.
“For me, growing up, dahil artista na ako 12 years old pa lang ako, napakalaki ng insecurities ko. Kasi pag nakita ka nila sa TV, nakita nila ang pimple mo, hanggang ngayon makikita nila kasi may YouTube na. So imagine mo parang na-immortalize na yung pimple mo. Yung pimple mo 16 years old ka, hanggang ngayon pwede nilang pag-usapan,” she said.
Dimples believes good skin is an investment in her line of work.
“It only started when I realized puhunan ko ito, ito ang pinagkakakitaan ko, kailangan kong ayusin to. And sa totoo lang ngayon, kahit hindi tayo artista ang peg natin palagi ay kutis-artista. Kung hindi mo man gustong maputi, yun bang makinis,” she ended.
