Beauty tips and secrets





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.
