Former Binibining Pilipinas title-holder and Miss Universe runner-up Shamcey Supsup is now endorsing Facial Care Centre, the premium skincare brand known for championing women who are beautiful (on the inside and outside). The timing is perfect, since she started endorsing Facial Care Centre just weeks before getting married to business magnate Lloyd Lee, not once but twice. “I just want to look radiant on my big day and I know Facial Centre can help,” she said at a press event I attended prior to her big day.
Look at that skin!
Shamcey wasn’t always so open about skincare and makeup. More than anything, she was more conscious about her “super-duper hairy” body (her words, not mine!) and religiously shaving and waxing as much as she can. “I grew up with my dad so hindi ako talaga ma-dress or ma-kikay,” she explained. It was only when she started doing the pageant rounds 4 years ago that she started taking notice of how other girls paid special attention to their skin. (Check out our post on Shamcey in 2011 here: https://www.wheninmanila.com/fast-facts-about-miss-universe-philippines-2011-candidate-shamcey-supsup/)Â “Of course my mom would tell me to wash my face properly,” she recalls, “But the other girls would be talking about this product and that product so that’s when I really got into it.”
Her body hair was a different issue altogether, citing difficulties in being able to show a hair-free body at a demanding schedule. “When I started, sinabi nila na para akong monkey sa sobra kong balbon! So I would wax everything as often as I can— whole body pa. Sobrang sakit.” And since waxing requires a minimum amount of hair length, she would carry an emergency razor along with other girls in the pageants who had the same problem. “Kala ko ako lang yung may ganitong really hairy problem, hindi pala. ” she mused.
Since she started with her new skincare family, Shamcey reported she has been going for a combination of facials, a RevLite Total Rejuvenation program and a LaserLight Hair Removal program for her body, which she describes as “finally removing everything”. Having only started the hair removal program recently, she’s starting to notice the change—finer hairs and less of them. She is looking forward to never having to feel the pains of shaving again, once her program is complete.
Helping her revive her tired skin are different types of nourishing and repairing facials and the latest non-invasive technology to give her a unique dose of radiance. “If I have an event today, I go (to Facial Care) in the morning. Or pag hindi naman, ihahabol ko siya for the last slot.” she explains. She’s adamant about letting her skin rest after the perils of pageant life to the point that her fiancee was making jokes too. “Pag nagdadate kami ni Lloyd and hindi ako naka-makeup because I’d let my skin rest, nagagalit siya!” she laughed. “Tinatamad daw ako mag-ayos for him.”
At the event she shared details of her fiance. “The first time I met him, meron ng chemistry. Siguro nung sinagot ko siya, you just felt ready. We’d talk about marriage even before this; so when we both got into this relationship, we were both serious. And nung naging boyfriend-girlfriend kami, it was already a sign that we’d get married,” she said.

Shamcey’s bridal beauty treatment consists of a RevLite program, which she is still currently taking for her arms, legs and face. RevLite is Facial Care’s newest non-invasive treatment dubbed the Total Rejuvenation solution for the skin. Using one of the most sophisticated Q-switched lasers in the world, it emits a smooth and even heating to target and lighten uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation and even cases like freckles and melasma— conditions that were previously untreatable with older technologies. The secret lies in the rapid pulse widths that make it a highly effective procedure with less heat and increased safety. And with the PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse, these narrow pulse widths are delivered with a flat-top beam profile, zoning in and breaking down only the chromophores that cause the pigmentation— no hot spots, no hitting healthy tissue and needlessly damaging them.
RevLite also improves skin texture such as smoothing rough chicken skin, a common problem for most Asians. It’s also becoming the popular choice for Filipina morenas who seek a more even skin color, as opposed to the stark difference in pigments due to the overproduction and concentration of melanin in a local area. A problem that RevLite promises to address and eradicate once and for all. With RevLite, brides-to-be and those looking for a unique dose of skin luminosity and radiance can finally put an end to skin discoloration. And for Shamcey, it’s achieving a girl’s dream of having that heaven-sent, natural glow for a match made in heaven.
