So now you know how to clear up the occasional breakout of adult acne, prevent fine lines and wrinkles (or at least try to), and use makeup to hide blemishes (see Celebrity Beauty Secrets Part I & II). Now what about the rest of you? With the warm weather knocking on our previously frozen doors, a girl has to look golden. Say goodbye to pale skin, lifeless hair, and those winter pounds with these celebrity beauty secrets.
the perfect tan
So what do Jessica Alba, Britney Spears, Paris and Nikki Hilton and Nicole Richie all have in common? Yeah, they’re all famous and never seen without a perfect tan (hey, you should still look good in your mugshot or psych ward photo, right?).
And where else do these celebs and leading men get their tanned glows than LA Sunset Tan. You know, the notorious Los Angeles tanning spa featured on E! The hit entertainment reality show ‘Sunset Tan’. Who can forget the Olly Girls?
“At LA Sunset Tan, we provide the star treatment to our clients who keep celebrity clientele, including Jessica Alba, Lindsey Lohan and the Hilton sisters, with a radiant tan,” says Kevin Haman, CEO and Founder of LA Sunset Tan. “Our signature ‘LA Sunset Tan Cocktail’ offers guests VIP robe service and complimentary beverages as they glide from the state-of-the-art high-pressure bed to a sunless misting unit for the freshest golden glow.” .
LA Sunset Tan even offers a muscle-defining spray tan, giving the appearance of a six-pack. Is there something real already? If it looks good, who cares, right?
A cure for cellulite
From proprietary solutions to natural remedies, celebrities have access to the best cosmetic doctors and surgeons. In addition to makeup artists, hairstylists, and fashion designers, some stars turn to talented doctors to turn flaws into assets, literally overnight.
Dr. Lionel Bissoon, who brought the cellulite cure from France to the US eight years ago, then stabilized the solution and delivery technique, turned his talents toward rejuvenation that can make an instant difference.
Called mesotherapy, this method simply involves dozens of quick pricks with small amounts of solution that are injected almost painlessly into the middle layer of the skin. Mesotherapy produces consistently effective results for stars of any shape, size, or weight.
When celebrities need a quick lift, Dr. Bissoon uses The Mesolift, a rejuvenation technique that can take years off the face while giving the illusion that the star has lost weight: a slimmer, sculpted face makes the body look slimmer.
The Mesolift process delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly to the skin to nourish and rejuvenate, promote collagen and elastin production, and stimulate metabolism. Anti-aging solutions that are actually good for you.
The solutions work immediately, so droopy chins, droopy eyes, puffy face, or double chin disappear almost as soon as injected. So the celeb can even visit Dr. Bissoon on Oscar day (or for any on-camera event) and leave his office looking refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated for the night.
Almost as fast is body sculpting for love handles, back fat, or saddlebags, which are captured with unflattering precision by the paparazzi (or company picnic photos for the rest of us). Using proprietary fat burning solutions injected into the “meso” or middle layer of the skin, fat cells are permanently destroyed and naturally removed by the body through the bloodstream in just a few weeks.
Oscar day is coming up and voila! Celebrities walk the red carpet toned and toned with slimmer thighs and smooth buttocks that glow with a healthy, happy glow.
Crow’s feet and fine lines
“As nominees and celebrities prepare for their close-ups, many of them are looking for little changes—perhaps they’re tired of crow’s feet around their eyes or they’d like to have fuller, fuller lips. For them, the injectable fillers are a great answer,” says 90210Plastic Surgeon Dr. Paul S. Nassif.
The key is subtle improvements that don’t sound the alarm. That is why Dr. Nassif developed “The Anti-Gravity Facelift”, which leaves no visible scars and has been noted for achieving natural-looking results in the shortest recovery time.
You don’t have to have celebrity bank accounts to take advantage of the many non-invasive cosmetic procedures out there, like the diamond abrasion photofacial (microdermabrasion without the messy crystals), which costs no more than $300.
hassle-free hair
Ever wonder how celebrities look great even in those candid photos? Almost everyone looks fabulous if their hair looks fantastic. So, do celebrities have stylists doing their hair every day? Of course not! They only know how to dry their hair. And you can too. Raymond Marc Salon in Walnut Creek, California offers blow-drying classes for people with hair problems (it’s hard to hold the blow dryer in one hand and the brush in the other!). If you can’t make it to California, make an appointment at your local salon for a lesson.
home remedies for beauty
Want glowing skin like Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, and Reese Witherspoon without the high cost of chemical peels, facials, and expensive spa treatments?
