Celebrities share secrets to staying young

It is no secret that celebrities spend a significant amount of time and money devoting themselves to their health and beauty routines. However, you do not need a stylist and a personal trainer to get some of the same looks that routinely grace the red carpet. Here are a few of the best celebrity secrets to staying young and looking and feeling your best.

Gabrielle Union-Wade

The actress and wife of NBA legend Dwyane Wade is known for her flawless skin. Despite having the means to use the most luxurious skincare products available, Gabrielle says that the secret to her glowing complexion is simply loads of hydration. She said that she drinks at least one gallon of water every day in addition to red wine on occasion. Cheers to that!

Christie Brinkley

Even at 66 years old, former supermodel Christie Brinkley still glows from within. The iconic beauty swears by her daily exfoliation routine to keep her skin looking youthful and refreshed. Christie said that she began exfoliating when she was just 19 years old. You can make your own simple exfoliation products at home or you can choose from a myriad of available products.

Rachel Bilson

Not all celebrity beauty routines require a lot of money. Actress Rachel Bilson foregoes the expensive makeup removers and chooses to simply use Vaseline at the end of the day. Vaseline is a quick and easy way to remove makeup while also delivering a boost of moisturising power to tired skin.

Lolo Jones

Whether you recognise Lolo Jones for her successful career in Women’s Track or her many television appearances, you no doubt have been inspired by her story. Her appeal is so universal she is currently one of the leading social media influencers and even teaches a class to show others how to find success on Instagram. Known for always staying in optimum shape, Lolo has been vocal about using CBD products daily to support muscle recovery.

Jennifer Lopez

J-Lo simply shines in everything that she does. The actress and singer swears by frequent massages as a way to flush out harmful toxins from the body and to loosen up her muscles. She says that she has a specific post-show routine to help her to decompress. Included in this routine is taking off all of her makeup and stretching out her muscles.

Shakira

This Latin beauty goes to great lengths to protect her gorgeous skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Her secret is using sunscreen designed for use on children. These products generally provide a higher level of SPF protection than most adult sunscreens. They are also usually free of irritating ingredients.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine’s stunning locks are the envy of many women. The secret to her long and thick hair is using beer on it. Catherine says that she rinses her hair with beer in an effort to prevent hair loss. The high amounts of vitamin B and amino acids in beer help to regulate oil production in the scalp while the alcohol removes harmful build-up in the tresses. The high acidity gives hair an extra shine.

Now that you know some of these most useful life and beauty hacks of the rich and famous, you can try them out for yourself and let the results speak for themselves.
