The world is always abuzz with the latest ways celebrities are keeping it hot and keeping it fresh. While we hear a lot about plastic surgery, chemical injections and funky products loaded with synthesized materials, a lot of celebrities out there are keeping their beauty “booty” natural and down to earth.
Be Natural
Many people try to emulate the natural glamour of Catherine Zeta Jones. All they need to do is take up a couple of natural beauty tips and they may achieve just that! Her natural beauty booty includes:
- A honey and salt scrub that both moisturizes and exfoliates in the shower
- A honey and beer hair rinse (though even she admits it will leave your hair smelling like the “bottom of a beer barrel”)
- Eating an apple after every meal to clean the teeth and to keep the looking polished
Nicole Kidman’s got another idea on how to keep her hair looking shiny and healthy (which again involves alcohol!). She likes to rinse her hair with a bit of the bubbly to keep her frosted blond locks light.
Jennifer “JLo” Lopez is a big fan of Vaseline. She says that she uses Vaseline for a number of reasons, though mostly she uses it for make up removal. Vaseline is particularly great as an eye make up remover, as it doesn’t clog pores and improves the health of your eyelashes. Just adding a bit of Vaseline to your lashes on a busy day will help them look longer and healthier.
Go Mineral
Here’s another big beauty booty item amongst celebs these days: mineral make up. Not only is mineral make up as effective as the more oily and chemical-laden products that are still on the market these days, but mineral make up does not clog the pores, is for the most part organic, and can be used by women of any skin type – including sensitive skin! You can also store mineral make up for a much longer period of time, given that it has no preservatives. If you’re in the mineral make up market, look for make up that includes broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, magnesium, zinc, and anti-inflammatory agents.
Looking like a celebrity doesn’t have to cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars and days under the knife. Most importantly, be sure to eat a balanced and healthy diet (just like the celebrity’s dieticians force them to) and drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. That will keep you glowing like you’re your very own celebrity!
