Beauty Secrets of the Stars
Stars don’t just roll out of bed looking re-carpet ready. It can take months of prep and a team of helpers to look this good. Here’s some tips and trick on how to achieve that a-lister glow for your next big occasion.
Your Best Skin Ever
# For a red-carpet glow, exfoliate a few times a week to remove the build-up of dead skin cells, leaving your complexion smoother and brighter. It will also reduce the likelihood of a breakout on the day as exfoliation helps to prevent pores from becoming blocked.
# Hydrating face masks are the easiest way to make skin look plumper. Applying a mask at least once a week for a month before your event will be more effective than having just one salon treatment.
ON THE DAY: Firm and brighten your skin with one of the new-generation skin-tightening products that temporarily disguise fin lines.
Your Best Hair Ever

ON THE DAY: To fake super-glossy hair, use a shine spray all over your finished style.
Your Best Body Ever
