Sandra Bullock explained to InStyle magazine that she`s a low maintenance type of woman, and has a simple beauty secret that takes about 8 minutes to apply: “I use face cloth and Artistry cream for my daily beauty which takes about eight minutes!” says Bullock. “It may be quick yet very effective beauty routine”.

Apparently,  the Artistry Microdermabrasion System offers an at-home alternative to microdermabrasion, providing professional-grade results and glowing skin!  Very recommended skin care product!!!

I`m probably gonna write many post about her since I admire her beauty and since she is one of my most favorite celeb! According to the little Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets, Cameron Diaz uses her lipstick make up as a blusher, especially for the on-the-go touch-ups. The beauty benefits you get from wearing lipstick as blush:

1. Gives your cheeks a youthful, healthy looking glow.

2. The color coordinates your cheeks with your lips, which create high fashion photography look.

3. Matching cheeks and lips can set off other features such as long, dark, thick lashes, or great bone structure.   

In order to make sure her entire make up applications such as eye-shadows and blush is applied smoothly Cameron Diaz uses the Sonya Dakar Hydra-soft lotion, which is a great oil free moisturizer. More to that, her basic foundation smooth and clear skin maker which is the Sun-forgettable 30SPF mineral powder, helps smooth and clear skin. It is one of Diaz`s favorite duel cosmetic application: an amazing mineral facial healthy foundation make up application plus an anti wrinkles protector at the same time, thanks to its 30 SPF powers, against the aging UV rays! Two birds in one stone… mmm.. not bad!

The 43 years old actress Lisa Rinna, best known for her roles as Billie Reed on `Days of our Lives`, has a favorite way to start her day: Almond Scrub and Face Shampoo. She really enjoy using this product because it cleanses and exfoliates the skin, for a fresh sense. However, Lisa`s main anti aging skin care product above and beyond plastic surgeries and Botox Cosmetics, is the anti wrinkles serum- Epicuren Alpha Lipoic Omega.  Rinna uses this beauty product everyday because of its exceptional moisture and since it has all the latest in anti aging technology which recommended by dermatologists:   

Science was combined with nature to make this pharmaceutical grade Serum Compound. Epicuren’s Alpha Lipoic Omega contains all-natural botanical, vital vitamins, trace minerals and amino acids all combined to restore and combat skin’s aging process, as well as improve the tone and texture of the skin. It firms, minimizes pores and gives a natural glow to your face. No Wonder celebrity like Lisa Rinna is in love with this amazing natural product! Look at her face- she`s glowing!!!

Baby Oil holds many skin care benefits and you don’t really have to have a baby at home in order to buy and use this skin nutritious product. Baby Oil Locks in up to ten times more moisture on wet skin than an ordinary lotion can on dry skin, it can soothe and relieve dry, rough patches and leave skin glowing, silky and soft all day long.

Baby oil was discovered long time ago and is a staple of many Hollywood makeup artists. They use it to make their client’s skin feel silky and to soften rough knees, elbows and ankles. They use it to make legs shimmer with sun kissed looks, and they use it to make eye sparkle by putting a touch on their eyelids.

Celebrities who are fans of Baby Oil products are Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow!

Everybody`s taking about gorgeous talented Taylor Swift. Especially about her beautiful hair. However, if you wish to get those amazing, healthy looking shinny waves or curls, prior to any application use such as curly iron, simply apply a few droplets of Pure Wheat Germ Oil on a clean washed damp hair and let it absorb by massaging it gently from bottom to top, (avoid applying directly on scalp).  It would definitely do the work, and you will get that celebrity hair shine everybody`s dreaming off!
Extracted from germs of wheat, this beauty treatment oil contains very high percentage of Vitamin E , helps in nourishes and replenishes the shine lost in dull hair. It restructures the cuticle of hair, helping to maintain it in a healthy state, and instantly make the hair look healthier and shinier!

There are only few cosmetics brands which offer a certain version of this recommended beauty concept though a favorable one by many famous people and celebs is by `CarloBay- hair diffusion cosmetics` brand:  ($29 dollars, imported form Italy)

While holding the distinction as the first non model and non athlete to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Beyonce Knowles can be proud of herself for the amazing beauty achievements in her life, not to mentioned her music skills, of course. We know Beyonce is a natural beauty even when not wearing any make-up, however, cosmetics use, especially in a celebrity world is simply a must.

When she goes for subtle naturals, Beyonce slicks on Pout Lip Gloss, a UK cosmetic brand,  in a `Light My Fire`shade – a pallid coral that suits her complexion perfectly! It enhances her lips while creating a natural looking glow!

There is absolutely no doubt  the 24 years old Israeli supper model Bar Repaeli is stunning. Her natural beauty is above and beyond, ever since she was a little girl. Even her mother was a successful model herself in the late 1970`s, so I guess the beauty stays in the family. One of her most favorite beauty secret, as admitted Refaeli in a recent Sephora’s 5th Avenue store beauty event, is: “Less is more! You don’t need a ton of makeup to look really good“. However, I was wondering why did Rampage photo-shoot campain`s graphic designers had to do such an awful piece of Photoshop work on Bar`s skin, neck and legs?! That is the absolute opposite of “LESS IS MORE”, isn’t it?!

Long story short, as long as there have been photographs, there has been photo manipulation, and despite It’s interesting, yet very much fake results, Lets face it: Perhaps Bar Refaeli doesn’t have the perfect polished skin, however her natural beauty has always been her best celebrity beauty secret!  

One of  Hollywood`s favorite well kept secret is: Truth Serum Collagen Booster which is a weightless, aromatic gel, designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion. Grapefruit and orange extracts purify the skin while providing astringent and brightening benefits. Green tea extract, rosehip extract and vitamin E protect from environmental and free radical damage with powerful antioxidants. Licorice extract evens hyperpigmentation while sodium hyaluronate binds moisture to the skin. Finally, a vitamin C complex calms, heals and restores collagen for a younger-looking complexion.

A highly recommended must-have product for any skin type, this anti-aging booster by calms sensitive skin, hydrates dry skin, and nourishes normal and oily skin.  You might think it is an expensive one since Ole Henriksen, the creator, is one of the most respected skincare experts in Los Angeles and many celebrities are fans of his spa place and products, however this serum only cost $48 dollars per 30ml bottle, last for several months and can be purchased in selected stores.

Celebrity fans of this product include: Halle Berry, Cher, Helena Christensen, David Bowie, Iman, Rene Zellwegger, Linda Evangelista, LeAnn Rimes and Charlize Theron.

As a successful Oscar-winner actress, Halle Berry is a true icon. Her beauties were also rewarded when winning endless praises on US beauty pageants. The 43 years old gorgeous face claims that skin care routine and above all: cleansing your face at least twice a day as well as moisturizing it, is essential for a healthy, natural glow skin.

Halle revealed her beauty secret and said: “I use fruit acid as cleaning solutions to exfoliate my skin and get rid of dead cells”. The Serum she use is A discreet little bottle of citrus-scented serum, which  is one of Hollywood’s best-kept beauty secrets.“Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster”: An anti-aging vitamin C serum for all skin types, also known as “The fountain of youth”.

My second favorable secret of her is an easy to apply makeup technique that makes your noes look smaller. What most people don’t know, is that beautiful 40 years old Jennifer, who had always complained about her wide big noes and had wanted to have a nose job for more than a decade, used this simple makeup secret technique until January 2007. (when she finally had that noes Job she always wanted!). Jen used to swipe a bit of a bronzer powder with a blush brush, onto both sides of her nose in order to create an illusion of natural looking “smaller then it seems” noes. This makeup beauty secret works well with any skin tone and would definitely make a wide `banana`looking nose look thinner or smaller!

We already know one of Jessica Alba`s major diet secret (she barely eats bread) but what’s with her gorgeous HAIR?! I love her wavy style and was always wondering how she gets that natural look. In one of her recent interviews she was asked about that beauty secret of her regarding her hair and she said: “I like beachy hair – just wavy, natural, not fussy, therefore I use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner then a leave-in conditioner, wrap it up in a bun until it dries, then let it out. It makes the waves more defined and they don’t look as puffy. It actually looks better the next day,” says Alba.

I had to try her tip myself, of course, and guess what- IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC ! Thanks for sharing your beauty secret with the world, Jessica!

Drew Barrymore, one of the Hollywood`s natural beauty and CoverGirl’s newest model believes that “happiness is the best way to live a healthy life”. Her beauty secret is keeping herself away from tensions and always embracing happy-go-lucky mood. She calls it an “energetic yet authentic spirit.” and admitted that she would prefer to go around with a cheerful person who is always in high spirits over a bodily handsome one. Back in 2007 Barrymore was among the first `100 most beautiful` list according to `People` magazine  and named “Fresh natural beauty”.  During her interview to the magazine she mentioned the secret for this achievement also seems to be her cheerful outlook towards life. “In my opinion, cheerfulness helps you look and feel pretty” said Barrymore. “People with joyful nature look are always beautiful. If you spot someone with drop-dead beauty and appeal, it is really fun to take a look at the person. But if someone is able to give you a good laugh and thus, make you feel really good from within, then that is a whole other level of beauty. And I guess, such beauty always wins over any physical appearance”.

Don`t you just LUV her?!

Secrets of what the Sun can do to the Skin

Sun damage is the greatest threat to your skin’s long-term health and beauty. Nothing ages skin faster than the sun’s UVA and UVB rays, and premature aging caused by exposure to the sun’s rays creates saggy skin, wrinkled skin, dark sunspots and discoloration.

Your skin is exposed not only when you’re lounging by the pool, but when you’re going from your car to the grocery store.  Further more, about 80% of the sun’s cell-destroying UV and UB rays can penetrate windshields and assault your skin even through cloud cover.   

Some of the nasty secrets of what the sun can do to your skin are destroying skin’s connective tissue, leading to loss of tone, texture and firmness (what causing the appearance of wrinkles) and encourage melanocytes to become overactive and clump together, resulting in age spots, uneven pigmentation and skin cancer.  

In order to prevent sun damage, besides staying indoors you should wear broad-spectrum lotions with SPF 15 or higher, over sized sun-glasses, wide-brim hats and use spray tanning services.

Take a look how some celebrities protect themselves from the dangerous sun rays:

Samantha Jones wearing a wide-brim hat

Paris Hilton: Hat and over sized Sun-Glasses Jessica Simpson out in the Sun

Reese Witherspoon- Everyday Sun Protection!

Ever wonder how a working women like Heidi Klum - a model, entrepreneur, TV host AND designer, manages to keep it all together AND have an amazing glowing tan the entire time?  Klum said: “I am good at doing many things and multi-tasking however, when I need to look sun-kissed, I get a spray tan and top it off with Bare Bronze moisturizer Body Oil by Victoria’s Secret!”

As you probably know, it is very true that some beautiful Celebrities and famous models like Heidi Klum are simply given the gift of naturally looking that way, however, since “Heidi loves sparkles and wants everything to be big and sparkly”, said her make-up artist Linda Hay, (which is the genius behind the Victoria’s Secret runway shows), she uses the airbrush tanning techniques in order to have a long lasting tan.

Airbrush Spray Tanning-

Did you know you can get the beautiful bronzed celebrities look you always wanted AND avoid the damage you can acquire from over exposure to the sun or tanning-bed lights? Due to the increased consumer awareness of skin damage, skin cancer risk, premature aging and many other skin problems caused by UV rays, I recommend the FDA approved Airbrush Spray-Tanning, as the finest, safest and most effective way to get a long-lasting, natural-looking glow that will give you an instant tan in less than 15 minutes, and normally last 7 to10 days!

I call it: “Tanning in Style” since it`s the hottest new thing in the beauty industry. Everyone wants a sexy looking tan however, not everyone is naturally blessed with beautiful glowing skin therefore I found using spray tanning solution is an affordable and safe way to get an all year round tan without damaging your healthy skin. 

This of it as like getting a makeover that will hide skin imperfections such as wrinkles, acne, stretch marks or cellulite and will make you look and feel better in minutes! Your teeth will look whiter and your eyes brighter. You will look thinner, younger and healthier then ever!

How does Spray Tanning work? What`s the Secret? 

The active ingredient in the solution is the FDA approved (and safe!) dihydroxyaceton (DHA) which reacts with the amino acids in the outermost layer of the skin. When DHA is combined with the amino acids in your skin, it reacts by giving your skin a tan appearance. You will continue to tan for up to 6 hours after your session. In addition, most solutions contain a bronzer, a temporary coloring agent, which washes off leaving behind a deep, bronze skin tone. Airbrush tanning can disguise cellulite, blemishes, stretch marks and other imperfections. It is considered nontoxic and non-carcinogenic. DHA based Sunless tanning has been recommended by the Skin Cancer Organization, American Academy of Dermatology, Canadian Dermatology Association, The American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association.

 I was told about a possible side effect of getting orange skin from spray tan solutions, though did my research and discovered that “Orangeness” is an outcome of tanning pills, old/expired tanning solutions and improper application of home tanning creams and sprays, which is why you should always let a professional apply your spray tan.
