Celebrity Beauty Secrets

I am always interested in reading about celebrity beauty secrets, which is one of the reasons why I was once addicted to buying loads of magazines. I read all sorts back in the day. However, these days, I just grab all the information online. It is always fun to read about how the stars care for their skin and what their daily skincare routine looks like. Here are some of my favourite celebs and their beauty secrets –

Bette Davis

The lovely Bette Davis applies cold cream on her face while sitting in a hot bathtub softened with some drops of bath oil. She dries off with a large cotton towel to stimulate her body.

Penelope Cruz

This beauty only uses a light coat of foundation. She prefers the natural makeup look. I like my foundation light as well, especially in the summer months. It usually looks a lot better than the caked up look.

Joan Crawford

This celebrity chewed gum to firm up her jawline. Can you imagine that?

Angelina Jolie

The stunning Angelina Jolie is obsessed with body lotion. That explains why her skin is always looking very moisturised. I think she is ageing nicely.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

If you love eating strawberries, you are going to love this beauty secret. The lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones eats strawberries to whiten her teeth. Rumour has it that the malic acid in strawberries lightens surface stains on the teeth.

Gloria Grahame

The award for the craziest celebrity beauty secret goes to Gloria Grahame. This celeb stuffed tissue underneath her upper lips to make them appear pouty.
