Celebrity Beauty Tips!

Hollywood stars are famous for going to extreme (sometimes even unnatural) measures to stay looking young and healthy. So when our favorite A-listers told us about their go-to beauty regimens, they were not at all what we expected. Check out what Jennifer Aniston, Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara can't live without.



It turns out the clichés are true-- moisturizing, staying hydrated and exfoliating really are the foundations of good skin. And these ladies should know—they’re like the Olympic athletes of the beauty world. Think about it, all they do is wear tons and tons of pore-clogging makeup and then have people like us stare at them at close range and inspect them for any possible flaws.

Jennifer Aniston loves a good scrub and regular facials. America Ferrera drinks plenty of water. Julie Bowen is "all about cleansing and toning." Katie Cassidy takes her makeup off the second shooting is done.  A healthy diet and being happy are Michelle Pfeiffer's secrets and since she looks exactly the same now as she did when she wore her pink ladies jacket in "Grease 2," we believe her.

    Using good products on your skin. When I could afford it I swore by Dr. Perricone vitamin c products . They are amazing but sadly, I can no longer afford them . Now I still spend a little more but at my local drug store. I love the newPro X line by Olay. It works great. My skin looks wonderful. I also love serums [Dr.P makes the best but...} I now use L'Oreal Skin Genesis serum in addition to the Olay products. Works wonders. I'm in my fifties and do not have a wrinkle. I also stay out of the sun,drink plenty of water and take vitamins and fish oil capsules each day. I also love the new L'Oreal sulfate free shampoos and cond. My hair looks so glossy and full since using these products. Keeps your color longer too.Their 10 minute hair dye is great too. No drying out and easy to use.

    Soap and water, drinking water and eating right. Great ideas, sure. But do you think these celebrities are going to come clean (pardon the pun) and admit to botox or plumping injections? Let's be real. Not one of them was shown without makeup on. Every still photo was airbrushed. How dumb do you think we are?

    I really love these tips. It's good to see beautiful women who are in the spotlight and influencing young girls give health forward adivce. I especially love the ones about drinking water and eating healthy, but my favorite is America Ferrera's tip about being happy! A positive attitude goes a long way for health and beauty. I'm also very pleased that these tips are cost effective, showing girls that women are practical. And best of all, washing your face and taking care of yourself doesn't alter who you are like makeup and plastic surgery do. These tips show girls that they are beautiful the way they are and that their bodies are precious and should be taken care of. Love it!!

    Ok, I'm sorry, but beauty celebrity tips? Excuse me?

    Wash face, drink lots of water, be happy and healthy....

    Honestly, I will be supprised if anyone learned anything new from watching this. I am glad that these ladies are supporting healthy routine for skin and are being a good example, but it doesn't take a whole video to sum that up.

    I am sorry I wasted my time.

    I agree about the day & night moisturizing. It really improved my skin. I think my monthly facial scrub schedule with regular exfoliation works. I like my skin now than five years ago. Taking 400 IU of Vit. E and multivitamins daily also helps a lot.

    If you REALLY want to know what celebrities do to look so good, search online for celebrities without makeup and see what they REALLY look like! Many of them are plagued with wrinkles, pimples, sags and bags just like the rest of us. Professional make up artists, professional lighting and airbrushing makes them look perfect. Not to mention Botox, Restalane and other expensive injections and plastic surgery. Imagine how gorgeous we'd all be if we had those services! I agree with Kitten...Hollywood is just based on illusion and sets a standard that no "outsider" can ever reach! Besides, how many of us would just give everything to look like Sarah Jessica Parker? Holy crap, not me!!
