Celebrity pamper secrets

Wednesday, August 08, 2012   |  
When we look at our favourite celebrities, they always seem to have it all together and look even more amazing with every new photo shoot. Even with their avid fitness trainers, expensive stylists and make-up artists, they still sometimes resort to basic beauty routines; and there is nothing that keeps you from doing the same. Here are a few stylish tips from popular celebrities in Tinsel Town you can use to look your best all year round, without breaking the budget.

Celebrity pamper secrets

Josie Maran

Josie is a huge fan of creating her own beauty recipes at home. Most of all, she is known for regularly using an avocado hand mask with argan oil. This has a very softening and moisturising effect on the hands and, as an added benefit, it even stimulates nail growth. This luxurious mixture only requires half an avocado, the juice of half a lemon, and a few drops of argan oil. Simply apply it on your hands and leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it off. Now you can also enjoy softer, silkier hands in no time.

Kim Kardashian

This bombshell beauty is no stranger to style, and although she dedicates a lot of time to her beauty, her routine does not always involve those lengthy, two hour make-up sessions. This lovely Kardashian makes use of a variety of beauty products to keep her looking camera-ready at all times, and one of her favourites is Aquaphor Ointment. Kim's make-up artist uses this underneath Kim's eyes to prevent dryness. With such a hectic travelling schedule, this is a huge benefit for Kim and she also uses it for spot treatments. Kim also loves L'Oreal and uses its Voluminous Mascaras on a daily basis to keep those luscious lashes looking perfect and full.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones swears by a simple and effective budget-friendly beauty trick that keeps her pearly-whites sparkling: strawberries. This movie starlet uses fresh strawberries to clean her teeth, and she believes that they have potent whitening powers. You can achieve the same look as Catherine simply by mashing three to six fresh strawberries. After brushing and flossing as usual, apply this strawberry paste to your teeth with cotton and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Rinse and you are done.

Nikki Taylor

Although we all want to look model-perfect, it does not always have to cost you a small fortune. This natural beauty regularly uses olive oil as part of her skin routine. Not only is this the perfect way to soften and moisturise your skin, it is also a very natural beauty habit that does not require the use of any chemicals. Olive oil is nature's answer to dry and dull skin, and it is also the perfect way to help you look vibrantly healthy and glowing – all while keeping your budget in check. If Nikki's picture perfect skin is anything to go by, olive oil is definitely a beauty aid that should be in every woman's home.

Olive oil should be in any lady's kitchen anyways. After a hot bath pat your body but not dry and apply generously. Olive oil is good in the kitchen and the body from head to toe.
