Beauty secrets of celebrities II
youthful looking skin
In Hollywood skin regimens, it’s all about prevention. But let’s be real, sometimes nature has its way with our skin before we even realize what’s happening. Stars like Felicity Huffman swear by super serums like Leaf & Rusher Active Serum to ward off the signs of aging. In this tough beauty product, retinol and vitamin C team up to combat fine lines and wrinkles and boost collagen production.
Foundation that double duty sweaters
Have you ever wondered why celebrity skin looks so good? According to Fatima Olive, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with Christy Turlington, Jessica Simpson, Maria Sharapova, and Petra Nemcova, it’s because professional makeup artists always use two or three different colors of foundation to highlight and tone down different pigments all over the face. . Most women don’t realize their skin tone varies and buy just one shade of foundation.
Here’s an easy pro hack: Use a double-foundation compact like Redpoint’s Transformative Dual Foundation. With two shades, you can easily mix and match to highlight a particular feature. The compact is also a great easy tool to have throughout the seasons as skin tone tans and fades.
Even out skin tone
Reese Witherspoon, Daisy Fuentes, Nicollette Sheridan and Jennifer Hudson know something we don’t… until now at least. They’re all fans of the Per-fekt Beauty All-in-One Gel Antioxidant-Enriched Primer for Skin Perfection, Sheer Foundation, and Color Corrector that dries to a gorgeous powdery finish.
This powerful foundation glides on effortlessly to instantly even skin tone, control oil, and reduce the appearance of redness, enlarged pores, and fine lines. Alpha Lipoic Acids fight aging and Vitamins A and E repair and protect skin from further damage. Available in 5 translucent shades that blend perfectly with all skin tones.
Get a healthy glow
Stacking tinted moisturizer is one way to try out the sunkissed look, or you can hydrate and nourish from the inside out. Drinking enough water (yes, you should drink 6 to 8 8-ounce glasses) is a start. Giving your body the nutrients it needs is another way to look like a dewy goddess.
CherryPharm (isn’t that smart?) is a favorite of Courtney Cox and Kate Bosworth for clear, glowing skin. CherryPharm is packed with antioxidants, helping to reduce inflammation and redness, and you get 2-3 servings of fruit in every bottle. Cherries and cheers for looking and feeling great!
Pamper your way to better skin
Looking your best isn’t just pain, it can be a lot of fun taking care of your body and skin. Celebrity esthetician Joanna Vargas’ Triple Crown Facial helps female leads achieve that youthful, dewy look (and without Botox!).
Offered in NYC and LA, the Triple Crown Facial begins with the “diamond peel” for gentle exfoliation to remove impurities. Next, the facial muscles and skin are stimulated with a special microcurrent to tighten and improve skin elasticity, then conclude with an oxygen treatment that supplements the skin with all the necessary nutrients through an oxygen infusion of vitamins. 98% pure.
voluminous lips
Candace Bushnell, author of sex and the city Y jungle lipstick appeared in today’s program the feb. 14, 2008 with magnificently full, lush and shiny lips. Your secret? The spectacular C-Lipoic Lip Enhancer from DermaQuest.
This lip treatment is enhanced with vitamin C and contains alpha lipoic acid and palmitoyl oligopeptide, plus additional ingredients to hydrate and plump lips. It also stimulates the growth of new cells for healthy pink lips and has a beautiful orange fragrance and flavor!
However, you could try a few tricks of the trade. “I think the oldest trick is to line in the ‘cruelest’ style of the 1950s,” says celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff. “Think Joan Crawford, Lana Turner, or Dorothy Dandridge. Going off the lip line makes lips look so much bigger. Of course, if liner is something you don’t wear, there are plenty of lip plumpers out there. My favorite is Lip Fusion, which comes in many colors.”
Get toned skin
The Dynamic Trio: Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea, Hyaluronic Acid
Just as a Hollywood star is never a solo act (think personal assistants, managers, stylists, makeup artists, trainers, nutritionists, etc. who help her maintain a glamorous image), no beauty ingredient treats every condition of the skin.
There are three natural skin-tightening and anti-aging powers garnering celebrity attention: Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea, and Hyaluronic Acid.
“Grapeseed extract is a natural skin lightening agent that diminishes uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation,” says David May of PRESCRIBEDsolutions, a line of performance skincare products. It also has benefits as an anti-scar agent.
Green Tea Extract (also known as Canellia sinensis) is a blend of seven polyphenols that react rapidly to inactive free radicals (electrically charged oxygen particles) that are a source of significant damage and aging to the skin.
“In clinical trials, green tea extract has been shown to prevent free radical attack 56% more than an equivalent concentration of vitamin E,” says May. “Green tea extract also enhances the absorption of anti-inflammatory ingredients into the skin.”
Hyaluronic acid may sound sinister, but it’s actually an organic acid present in human skin, making it naturally the most effective natural skin moisturizer (it can hold up to 500 times its own weight in water).
According to LiveLonger123, hyaluronic acid has been scientifically proven to stimulate the growth of new cells. When should you use it? Use after exfoliation to protect, hydrate, and moisturize (great for all skin types).
You can find all of these ingredients in PRESCRIBEDsolutions skin care products, including cleansers, anti-aging serums, and moisturizers that are sold exclusively in doctor’s offices.
It’s only natural for celebrities to think they’re special enough to have personalized beauty products. But you can also do this! Think of it like having a dress tailored to your body type. When you visit a doctor’s office that carries the PRESCRIBEDsolutions line, you’ll be able to customize your skincare solutions with condition-specific boosters to address issues like hyperpigmentation, antioxidant protection or the need for firming.
Three Custom Color Specialists is another beauty line that will custom mix makeup to meet your specifications. And there’s nothing like having your own signature style.
