Celebrity beauty secrets

Celebrities have it all - talent, fame, money, an army of stylists, makeup artists, personal trainers, plastic surgeons, and nutritionists behind. Of course when you compare yourself with the beautiful celebrities you are losing battle from the start.

How do you afford all the treatments and products that use the famous beauties? Believe it or not, they also use a couple of cheap and effective tricks. We bring you 10 beauty tricks that everyone can afford.

1. White eyeliner

This is a very popular trick among the models. White pen opens eyes and makes them brighter, if properly apply. To avoid the appearance of the spirit, just trim the inner corners of the eye by the lower eyelids and eyes will instantly look fresh and rested.


2. Cranberry Juice

Redhead stars like Nicole Kidman is using cranberry juice not only for drinking but also for hair rinsing to add shine and keep the color rich and intense.

3. Satin bedding

For a high-quality pillowcase is worth giving a few dollars more. Cotton bed sheets make your skin look wrinkled, they damage elasticity and moisture of your skin. So rather choose silk or satin sheets, which, except that it preserves your youth, does wonders for your hair.

4. Whiten your teeth with strawberries

Have you ever wondered how celebrities have such white and perfect teeth? Their secret is the combination of strawberries and baking soda, which is an integral part of most toothpaste. Brush your teeth several times a week with the mixture. . People who have tried it swear to its effectiveness.


5. Peppermint extracts

Some of the stars, instead of painful injections of collagen to increase lip decide to use peppermint extract. It's simple, cheap and effective - rub a small amount on your lips to enjoy the fuller, more youthful lips that are calling for kissing.

6. Lemon juice

Lemon's juice is a natural tonic for the face. This is a trick used many of Hollywood's face - the juice tightens pores as the skin keeps the skin fresh and clean, a tan uniform. Just pour a few drops on a piece of a cotton ball and clean your face as usual.


7. Facial Spray

Another trick stolen from models - mix water with whole milk. This spray, if it is regularly used on a daily basis, locks skin's natural moisture, which will keep your skin looking radiant.

8. Scrub with a lactic acid

For radiant skin, body stars use these tricks, but not more frequently than once every two weeks. Perform a body scrub based on a lactic acid serum, and then mix a mask of yogurt with a teaspoon of olive oil and leave on for 20 minutes.


9. Olive oil

Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and E, and has the broadest possible application - an essential ingredient of many hair masks, peels, and is excellent as a body oil. It is especially effective at removing waterproof mascara and make-up - will remove and what with regular milk for cleaning was impossible to remove, and the skin remains soft and gentle.

10. Simple makeup

This little tip is the world revealed itself Cindy Crawford. It leads to the logic that if you wear a little make-up, the same make-up will be harder to break and spread on it, but if you have three layers of plaster. It is therefore recommended make-up as soon as possible. "5-minute make-up will be enough for your everyday look, and if you go on a little finer dinner, give yourself 15 minutes of time."
