Tips From The Beauty Secrets Of The Stars
By Jackie De Burca
Not all of us can have an entire beauty team behind us like Brooke Shields, but we can borrow some of the beauty secrets of the stars and mix them in with a good daily routine for sparkling results.
Did you know that Catherine Zeta-Jones brushes her teeth with mashed-up strawberries which she mixes with baking soda? Strawberries contain malic acid which is a mild astringent. For her wonderful mane of hair she keeps it shiny by brushing in some castor oil. What miracle does she use on her skin to make it look so wonderful? Catherine uses a natural foundation which is made only from pure, crushed minerals from the earth and also has SP15. It “looks like a powder, feels like a cream and buffs on like silk!”
Brooke Shields on the other hand likes to mix bronzing lotion with a body lotion and self tanner, which helps you achieve a bronzed, unblemished even skin tone without even putting on foundation. Or what about for the skin all over your body, taking a tip from Teri Hatcher who pours her left over red wine into her bath! The grapes contain resveratrol which is an antibiotic type substance that protects the vines from fungus. It can make the skin surface firm, while stimulating cell multiplication and improving elasticity.
Did you know that regardless of your skin types you should go without makeup as often as possible as it actually interferes with the skins’ repairing process. Of course some natural products such as have crushed minerals in them so this is different. However if you just think of it as allowing your skin to breathe it will make more sense to you. It is ideal to do this over a quiet weekend and focus on drinking plenty of water to speed up the process of flushing the toxiins out.
Hilary Duff and Jessica Alba both see the same facialist who suggests livening up dull skin with a refrigerated spray bottle of mint tea. This will cool the skin and stimulate the blood flow. But no matter what the stars secrets are your daily routine should include the natural way to care for your skin which is to drink enough water. Keeping yourself hydrated will not only prevent constipation but will literally bathe the cells of your skin.
Eating enough fibre will also helps to keep your system healthy and this will keep your skin healthier. Proper digestion keeps toxins from accumulating, keeping the skin younger looking. Keep your circulation invigorated by some sort of daily exercise. This will help your overall health level and the condition of your skin as well.
Stress is a naughty fellow who plays havoc with our skin and sometimes our health. Find a way to do something if only for 15 minutes per day, like sitting listening to music that calms you , meditation, yoga or stretching, or a brisk walk in nature.
Eliminating as much sugar from your daily food intake as possible will do wonders for the health of your skin. Sugar will take its toll and make the skin sag and wrinkled over time. Basically it will speed up the aging process of the skin. Add natural oils to your diet by including the essential fatty acids that your body needs. Good sources of essential fats are Salmon, flaxseed oil or walnut oil combined with vinegar as a dressing for your salad and possibly fish oil supplements. Combine some of these ideas and enjoy the results as you will feel more beautiful.
