FOR a brand that consistently advocates the importance of choosing only the best natural ingredients for your skin, it was critical for Mestiza to be represented by someone who embodied these values. 'We believe in the efficacy of nature and how the simplicity of finding the right ingredients can empower you to take better care of your skin. There's no one who exemplifies this more than Samantha Bernardo,' shares Head of Content for Organique Skincare Inc. Martina Salimbangon.

The Palawan-local is no stranger to natural beauty, having called one of the most renowned coastlines in the world home. Her simple lifestyle ultimately paved the way for Samantha to be an international symbol of beauty after she earned the first runner up title at last year's Miss Grand International.
