In her latest horror film, Cinta Laura faces a major challenge while using facial prosthetics. She recounts that the prosthetics are designed to resemble a cursed mask and take a considerable amount of time to put on and take off.

"My face was shaped like a cursed mask and the process of wearing the mask takes up to one and a half hours. Taking it off also takes an hour. So sometimes on the day I have to wear the prosthetics, 2-3 hours are really just for putting on and taking off the mask, and that’s underwater," explained Cinta Laura.

The difficulties increase because the prosthetics restrict breathing, especially when she has to perform scenes in the water. However, with high professionalism and dedication, Cinta was able to complete those scenes well. This challenge, she believes, has become a valuable experience that proves her commitment to the acting world.
