Get Great Skin Like a Celebrity
Not everyone in Hollywood owes their nice complexion to a dermatologist. Here are some homespun beauty secrets you can steal.
Steps
- Exfoliate your skin with a mixture of sugar and extra virgin olive oil. That’s how Christie Brinkley stays so youthful; it’s like giving yourself a mini microdermabrasion. Jessica Biel adds sugar to her regular cleanser when she wants to slough away dead skin.
- Nourish your skin the way Nicky Hilton does: Massage vitamin C into your face. You can buy it in liquid form in most health food stores.
- Keep your washcloths in the fridge so they’re nice and cold when you use them; supermodel Rachel Hunter has said she learned this trick in Japan. It reduces redness and swelling, makes pores appear smaller, gets rid of puffy eyes, and gives your complexion a healthy pink glow.
- Moisturize like Shania Twain: She finds there’s nothing like Bag Balm – an ointment made to soften a cow’s udder for milking – to make her complexion silky.
- Smooth your skin with honey: TV host and former model Padma Lakshmi washes her face, then slathers on the sticky stuff in the shower. She swears it acts as a smoothening agent. Catherine Zeta-Jones uses honey for the same reason.
- Remove your makeup with petroleum jelly; that’s how Jennifer Lopez cleans and moisturizes her face at the same time.
- Finished.
Tips
- Drink lots of water, eat healthy and apply light layers of sunblock.
- Don't exfoliate too much.
- For an environmentally friendly option, look for plant-based un-petroleum jelly.
- Mix your honey with salt like Catherine Zeta Jones does for a detoxifying and cleansing scrub.
- Honey with sugar can also be used for exfoliation. Applying honey with lemon everyday gives a glow to your skin.
