Andi Eigenmann Claps Back at Critics Saying She ‘Let Herself Go’ Since Moving to Siargao

Andi Eigenmann responds confidently to critics who say she’s “let herself go” since moving to Siargao, sharing her dedicated skincare routine and emphasizing the importance of sun protection.
Actress Andi Eigenmann, 34, addressed the repeated comments from netizens accusing her of neglecting her appearance ever since she relocated to Siargao.



Andi has long lived in Siargao to enjoy a simple life with her partner Philmar Alipayo and their children Ellie, Lilo, and Koa.

On May 17, 2025, she posted a video on Instagram showing her self-care routine—from applying a hair mask to moisturizing with sunscreen and lip balm—before heading out for some surfing under the sun.

Despite frequent sun exposure, Andi explained she now makes sure to protect her skin. She admitted that in the past, she often forgot to do so but has been making a concerted effort to be diligent.

Her caption read (published as is):
“For the most assumed assumption about me: 'pinabayaan nya talaga ang sarili nya' ('she let herself go when she moved to the island’)

“People often assume that just because I love being under the sun or in the ocean, I don't care about my skin's health.

“PSA: it's not the sun itself that ruins your skin—it’s neglecting to protect it.

“This is exactly why I make the effort to care for it even more.

“Sometimes I would still forget but now that I've been 27 for 7 years now, I am making it a point to always remember!”

Netizens Defend Andi from Bashers

In the comment section of Andi’s post, many fans came to her defense, explaining that some people may not be used to seeing celebrities like Andi without makeup in public.

One fan wrote (published as is):

“They assume cos they expect an island girl to be all glammed up with make-up and all that they used to see on you way back your city/active actress era..but real beauty and glam is by being you and not allowing societal standards define You. Stay that beautiful you, gorgeous island lady!”

Another said, “Island queen! That background, like you, is Gorgeous!”

One commented, “For sure inaatake namn sya dahil sa physical looks na hindi nagaayos. Keri lang kahit ganyan na look niya maganda pa din si Andi. Yun mga haters kahit anong gawin ayos chaka pa din.”

And another fan added, “She didn't really pabaya herself! I've been to Siargao, I think it's the best decision she'd made.”

This isn’t the first time Andi has responded to critics of her appearance. In September 2024, a basher called her “dugyot” (unkempt) in an Instagram comment, accusing her of neglecting herself.

The full comment read (published as is):

“Maganda ka nga andie sana uwag mo pabayaan sarili mo sabi nila naging dugyot kana sayang naman pinalaki ka ng mama mo na halos di madapuan ng lamot at langaw now dugyot ang sabi nila syo.”

Instead of replying directly, Andi screenshotted the comment and posted it on her Instagram Story with the caption:

“HELLLLPPPPPP MEEEEE. i kenet breatheeeee [laughing in tears emojis].”
