Actress-TV host Kris Aquino was positively glowing when she faced the press for her introduction as the new face of top skin product Olay. She may be expensive as an endorser but we do think there couldn't have been a better choice. Love or hate the woman but in person, no one is as articulate and blessed with great skin. In a market where she pitches a lot of products, Kris averred that integrity is important. She can only endorse what she's tried and believes in.
