Shiny Legs

A little bit envious of those pairs of shiny celebrity legs? There’s a simple trick to it that I’m sure you’ll be able to use with very little cost. Just buy a bottle of baby oil! Put as few as small drops to generous amounts (it depends on how shiny you want it to be) of baby oil on your palms and slick down your legs. Rub gently on skin, until you have made sure that your skin has absorbed most of the oil. Do this before putting your (party) clothes on. We don’t want tell-tale marks showing after all. Try to apply standing up, so as not to ruin furniture with oil marks.

Asian skin tone

This is a great tip for Asian women or those who have a medium-toned or skin with yellow undertones. Like the previous post, try using foundation that is also yellow-based. There are lots of cosmetics lines that offer such hue in their foundation products. Most celebrity make-up artists simply use color that blends naturally with the skin as opposed to making the skin look pasty and doll-like. What you can do to make sure that you have the right tone of foundation is to test it on your jaw and look at in the mirror under daylight.

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.

Oohh lala! Super sexy French supermodel Laetitia Casta revealed in a fashion magazine that she uses regular pharmacy-bought baby bath lotion to remove her make-up. She applies it to her face, with “Pure, soft cotton wool” – take note. The special cotton wool is a substitute for the ordinary cotton pads because they scratch her face. Another beauty tip from the gorgeous Laetitia is very light cream to moisturize her skin. For her lips, its also cream that contains vitamin A.

Nyce legs!

Stockings are considered as a need in every girl’s “must haves”. They wear stockings (or pantyhose) when wearing skirts or any type of short clothing for that fact, when attending formal functions such as meetings, luncheons and dinners. Stockings give this “flawless” and smooth look (not to mention hair-less) on the legs of a woman.

However, have you ever experienced having a stocking “run” and you were in the middle of a meeting you can’t rush out? You’ll probably swear and start to practice “selective amnesia” afterwards!

Nyce Legs Spray on Thighs has the solution for you. You won’t anymore need to wear stockings and have those ugly “runs” on your legs! You won’t even be concerned at all about it being rubbed off since it can only be washed using soap and water! Fantastic!

Zinc and Vitamin C

Want to know Brittany Murphy’s secret to healthy glowing skin? She follows the advice of her makeup expert and that is to make sure that she gets more zinc and Vitamin C in her diet.

Zinc is a mineral (a metallic chemical element) that can be found in food, especially seafood such as oysters. It can also be found to a far lesser degree in most animal proteins, beans, nuts, almonds, whole grains, and seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Clinical studies have shown that if zinc is combined with antioxidants, it may delay progression of age-related muscular degeneration, hence younger looking skin.

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’.

Red wine bath

terri-hatcher.jpg

Terri Hatcher uses wine for her bath to make her skin beautiful. But before you start buying red wine by the crates, all you need to do is save leftover red wine from dinner and pour in to your bath water. Soak in your tub and you have soft skin.

Apparently, a substance called resveratrol that can be extracted from grapes and it is an antibiotic-like substance that protects the vines from fungus. For the human skin though, resveratrol not only makes the skin surface firm but it also improves elasticity. It also stimulates cell multiplication to keep skin young and rejuvenated.

Women can swear that having a moisturized skin is their ultimate goal. They buy different moisturizing products sold in stores just to have that oh-so-perfect skin. But what these women do not know is that, the best moisturizing agents are available in their own homes—yes, in their own homes. Supermodel Cindy Crawford can attest to that.

Her secret weapon? A mixture of milk and water. Yes, she uses these cheap ingredients as her moisturizer. Why settle for something expensive when you can use milk and water instead? She admits that she sprays it on her face to keep it from drying. I say Cindy Crawford knows best!

Cellulite problems?

Filed under: Skin Care — Tags: , — Christine Zafra @ 6:54 am

Stand in front of the mirror. Do you see little lumps around your buttocks and thighs that look like moon craters? Those are cellulites. Men and women have them, but are more common in females. Doctors say that it’s a hormonal issue so some believe that it’s a natural phenomenon. But whatever is the cause of the “orange peel” skin, some home made remedy is just about to remove those.

Caffeine is said to be the most common ingredient of cellulite busters as they have a tightening effect on the body’s blood vessels. However MESSY this procedure is, most models and actresses do it. Get the coffee grounds (used or new) and rub it on your cellulite-laden area. After doing it for a few minutes, wrap your legs in transparent plastic wraps (cling wraps) and let it stand for a few minutes. Be careful though, the scent of coffee can sometimes be unpleasant for one’s nose!
