Celebrity Beauty Secrets

How to Look like a Million Bucks Without Spending a Fortune!

Celebrities are some of the most pampered people in the world. They have access to the best products and services, including stylists and make-up artists, which makes it easy for them to look absolutely amazing on a daily basis. But even celebrities are fond of bargains and unconvential beauty tips. This article will give you the inside scoop on ideas, tips, and secrets to help you look and feel your best, even if you are on a budget. 

    Just because celebrities have access to a plethora of expensive beauty products, doesn’t mean that all celebrities choose to use a face cream that costs $300. Expensive is not always better! For example, Cindy Crawford has been known to spray her beautiful face with a mixture of whole milk and water in order to hydrate her skin throughout the day. Michelle Yeoh keeps her face looking fresh with a home-made astringent containing lemon juice and water. Last time I checked, lemon juice, milk, and water are ingredients that are both economical and readily available. These homespun products are also easy to make, so there’s no excuse not to try them out for yourself. 

    Acne is a major concern for a lot of people. Personally, I have tried almost everything under the sun for acne, including expensive creams from a dermatologist, which only aggravated my sensitive skin. I am 24 years old, so the stuff in drug stores marketed for most “teen” acne was also too harsh for my adult face. Nothing worked until I did some research and read somewhere that applying Milk of Magnesia (Philips laxative) to your face every night and leaving on as a mask, would eliminate acne VERY quickly. It worked fast, and best of all, it is less than $4 for a big bottle. I also heard that hemorrhoid cream (such as Preparation H) works wonders on puffy eyes. Jennifer Love Hewitt swears by toothpaste (applied overnight to the blemish) to heal pimples. And speaking of toothpaste, before you splurge on expensive whitening creams, why not simply brush your teeth with strawberries (a natural and delicious teeth whitener) like Catherine Zeta-Jones?
