Of course, looking young in Hollywood means avoiding an early, forced retirement, but just what ARE these celebrity secrets? And better yet, how can you and I benefit from what they use and what they know? Keeping skin in gorgeous condition is an incredibly time-consuming and expensive job requirement for the typical celebrity. But here are a few secrets for you, plus tips on how you too can get younger-looking skin.
Secret #1: Injectable fillers
To treat those deep smile lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet, celebrities turn to hyaluronic-acid fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm or Juvederm Ultra Plus (for deeper lines). Procedures must be done by a professional and can last up to six months.
Secret #2: Botox is still hot
Botox is certainly not a secret, but Botox remains the gold standard for treating crow’s lines and wrinkles. Botox works by paralyzing the muscles beneath wrinkles. Results last three to six months.
Secret #3: They go under the laser
As we age, our collage production slows down significantly making our faces appear thinner, and more gaunt (on the plus side, collagen depletion shows off great bone structure).
How it works: Lasers such as Fraxel, are able to penetrate deep within the skin to treat damaged skin. According to Fraxel’s official Website, the laser creates microscopic tears deep within the skin which trigger the body to naturally produce more collagen in the repairing process. Like most laser therapies, including hair removal, you’ll need three to five sessions spaced about a month apart.
Secret #4: They get chemical peels
Yes, yes, yes, of course celebrities (the male ones as well) are constantly getting eye lifts and face lifts and the bags removed from under their eyes, but what so many of them are doing that you and I aren’t is exfoliating, chemically. And therein lies our secret number four. Ever notice how your foundation looks when it’s applied to scaly, dry skin? You look older and ashier. The celebrities sheer a few years off their faces in under an hour with a professional chemical peel. Chemical peels work by removing the damaged top layers of skin.
Secret #5: They are all about retinols
To keep fine lines from becoming wrinkles, actresses in their 20s turn to retinoid creams.
Secret #6: Teeth Whitening
Using teeth whitening products, combined with proper dental care, will result in a wonderful smile. Along with teeth whitening, your smile makeover may include porcelain veneers, dental implants, porcelain crowns, dental bridges and gum shaping. If you’re looking for a quick way to take years off of your face, a teeth whitening treatment is definitely a winning bet!
Secret #7: Permanent Makeup
For those people who, as aging takes place, are losing or have lost the sharp contrast and definition of their facial features, use of permanent cosmetics has the affect of erasing years from your face. It brings back the contrast and definition you had when you were younger.
