The bootylicious Lopez loves her red carpet curves. ‘I couldn’t ever be a size zero. I have a butt, I have boobs and I have a woman’s curves - there is no way I’d see them go to zero’. She swears by juices to keep her healthy, drinking herb and oatgrass juice every day, and after dinner she drinks a beetroot and carrot or cucumber and celery juice to purify. Another tip from J-Lo is Grapefruit oil, she keeps a phial on her at all times, the aroma is rumoured to stave off hunger pangs and speed up weight loss! Jennifer used to love tough, physical exercise but now she prefers yoga and works out with her personal trainer. ‘What’s more important to me is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. I still do weights and cardio, but I try to take a feminine approach. I’m definitely not fanatical’. And Jen’s advice? ‘The ultimate beauty secret is to be happy in yourself’.

Lemon wash

Asian actress and former beauty queen Michelle Yeoh (remember Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?) keeps her face fresh and clean by giving it a lemon wash. The acid in lemon cuts natural oil in the face so it is best to use for oily skin. Lemon juice also makes stubborn dirt come off the pores as well. All you need is the juice of two to three lemons, hot water, and two to three tablespoons of honey. Shake all ingredients together in a jug and use as a face rinse. For not-so-oily skin, add more water to make lemon less intense.
