So now you know how to clear up the occasional breakout of adult acne, prevent fine lines and wrinkles (or at least try), and use makeup to hide blemishes (see Celebrity Beauty Secrets Part I and II). Now what about the rest of you? With warm weather knocking on our previously frozen doors, a girl has to look golden. Say goodbye to pale skin, lifeless hair, and those extra winter pounds with these celebrity beauty secrets.
the perfect tan
So what do Jessica Alba, Britney Spears, Paris and Nikki Hilton and Nicole Richie have in common? Yeah, they’re all famous and you never see them without a perfect tan (hey, you should still look good in your mugshot or psych ward check-in photo, right?)
And where else do these celebs and stars get their bronzed 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 give our clients the star treatment that keeps celebrity clientele including Jessica Alba, Lindsey Lohan and the Hilton sisters glowing 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 slide from the state-of-the-art high-pressure bed to a sunless spray unit for the coolest golden glow.” .
LA Sunset Tan even delivers a muscle-defining spray tan, giving the look 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 top cosmetic doctors and surgeons. In addition to makeup artists, hairdressers, 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 consists of dozens of quick punctures 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 appears 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 sagging jowls, droopy eyes, puffy face, or double chin disappear almost as soon as they are injected. So the celebrity can even visit Dr. Bissoon on Oscar day (or for any on-camera event) and walk out of his office looking refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated for the night.
Almost as fast is body sculpting for love handles, back fat, or saddlebags, that paparazzi capture with unflattering precision (or company picnic photos for the rest of us). By using proprietary fat-burning solutions injected into the “meso” or middle layer of the skin, the fat cells are permanently destroyed and naturally eliminated by the body through the bloodstream in just a few weeks.
The day of the Oscars is approaching and voila! Celebrities walk the red carpet toned and toned with slimmer thighs and smooth buttocks that shine 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 – maybe they’re tired of crow’s feet around their eyes or would like 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 set off alarm bells. That’s 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 noninvasive cosmetic procedures out there, like the diamond abrasion photofacial (microdermabrasion without the messy crystals), which costs no more than $300.
uncomplicated 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 who do 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 get to California, make an appointment at your local salon for a lesson.
