It is true that celebrities are beautiful. You may have the best products and celebrity makeup artists to prep and polish, but is the secret really in the lipstick?
Expensive beauty products are great, but most celebrities will tell you that their skincare routine makes a difference. A good skincare routine is about taking care of your skin, not just applying good products to cover it up.
It’s true that beauty comes from within. So, if you want to shine like your favorite star, you need the best beauty secrets.
1. Sleep and water
It may sound cliché, but Lea Michele swears it makes a huge difference to her skin, and the best part is that it doesn’t involve using expensive products. She also has no doubt that she is right. Sleep is an important factor for healthy skin because studies show that when you lack sleep, your body produces more cortisol, a stress hormone linked to acne, rashes, and other skin impurities.
2. Wash your face
Even if you’re not a celebrity, everyone will hear this beauty tip. But Mary J. Blogs especially spreads it. Be sure to remove any dirt, makeup, and anything else from your face during the day to allow your skin to heal and rejuvenate overnight. Breakouts may be the least of your worries. Failure to completely remove your makeup can lead to eyelash root infections, accelerated aging, irritated eyes, and even loss of style.
3. Create glowing skin with green color
Olivia Culpo says beauty begins with what you eat. This stunning celebrity admits she has a sweet tooth, but until she consulted her beautician, she never considered the impact sweets could have on her skin. She noticed a definite improvement in her skin once she started adding more vegetables and cutting out her dairy products. That’s because dairy and other sugars can be difficult for your body to digest, while greens and other fruits and vegetables go to the right places.
4. Moisturizer & Bronzer
A good moisturizer is the foundation for a beautiful face, and a perfectly shimmery bronzer will keep you looking fresh. Eva Mendez says mixing the two can help you look pretty but without too much makeup.
5. And the eyelids
It’s also important to moisturize your eyelids, something you normally forget about. Ellen Pompeo claims this is her secret to making your eye makeup last longer and creating a flawless look when smudged for a smokey eye.
6. Masks are made in the refrigerator.
Not only can you eat vegetables for glowing skin, but you can also make the best face mask out of them. Priyanks Chopra says her family has inherited dozens of beauty recipes. One of her favorite things to do is mix equal parts yogurt and turmeric, apply it to her face and wash it off with warm water. This will give you beautiful, radiant skin like no other.
7. (Almost) natural lip color
Halle Berry has the secret to natural lips. Apply your favorite color of red lipstick and wipe it off. Apply some clear lip gloss and voila! Natural, soft pink lips.
8. Speak positively
Icon and legend Jennifer Lopez says she repeats a positive mantra to herself. The first part of feeling beautiful, she says, is thinking about being beautiful. You won’t believe how much a few positive thoughts can change the way you look and prepare you for the day.
9. Avoid too many products
The point is that we’re avoiding talking about products here. And that’s what Kerry Washington believes, too. She tries not to apply foundation too often and opts for a little concealer instead. In fact, your skin can’t breathe and it doesn’t have lungs, so avoiding makeup prevents dirt and other substances from building up in your pores.
10. Protect your skin from the sun
Like Jennifer Aniston, she’s one of our favorite beauty icons, but her flawless complexion doesn’t come from nowhere either. Aniston admits that when she was younger she didn’t always wear sunscreen, but now she never leaves the house without applying SPF 15. Aniston is also right. The sun is the biggest factor in causing wrinkles, although it can also cause other problems. Applying sunscreen hydrates you, protects you from the sun, and slows down this process.
Now you know that having beautiful, glowing skin like your favorite celebrities isn’t as difficult as you think.
