Cosmetic gurus advise against using a lip gloss for this procedure as it may clog the pores and leave behind a sticky finish. Well with Miranda’s look, she’s definitely doing something right. Maybe it’s all in the eyes.
2. Numero Dos! Beer Shampoo!
So what’s the secret behind Catherine Zeta Jones’ silky brunette locks? Beer of course! That’s right. Well it should really come as no shock, since beer was one of the main ingredients that our ancestors of old used to primp their plush hair. Apparently the beer captures any grease and oils caught in the hair and leaves it fresh and smooth.
After a wash, take a mug full of beer and dab it through your locks. Once this is complete, wrap your hair in a plastic foil and let the beer sit for about five to ten minutes. Rinse thoroughly There are of course easier ways to get this done. Park Avenue has a new beer shampoo that makes the hair smooth and sleek and even gives it a faint beery scent.
3. Numero Tres! Kitty Litter?
Let’s be honest. If there’s one thing that Snooki is known for it’s her big shiny hair. She brought the hair puff back into style and revealed much of her primping and hair care routines during her time on the hit T.V. show that brought her global fame ; ”Jersey Shore”. There is one thing that you might not know about her. That is she wears a face mask made from kitty litter to exfoliate her pores. Gross, but is it effective?
Well Snooki sure stands by it. The large granules in kitter litter might be reminiscent of an ordinary face pack. But certain dermatologists have claimed that kitty litter can in fact damage your skin and lead to inflammations. It also absorbs much of the water from your skin and leaves it dehydrated. If this isn’t enough to deter you from this novel beauty technique then maybe the scent alone will. A better alternative to kitty litter is baking soda. Either in a concoction of water or with honey, it truly does work wonders for those tired pores.
N4. úmero Cuatro! Avocado!
One of the most natural hair remedies is avocado. At least Denise Richards seems to think so. She can’t get enough of this beautiful fruit. It’s the only thing that she’s willing to feed her hair. Avocado has healing chemicals that repair and revitalize damaged hair.
Denise uses it to deeply condition her hair. A useful tip is to couple it with about a tablespoon of olive oil and gently dab it onto the strands of your hair while trying to avoid the scalp. Overdoing it will lead to an overly oil and greasy look.
Numero…5! Toothpaste!
Jennifer Love Hewitt believes she’s found the perfect cure for a case of the zits. She applies a dollop of toothpaste onto a budding pimple and dries it over night. Although most of us have at some point used this technique, experts say it’s better to refrain from doing so. Toothpaste has several abrasive materials that corrode the skin.
Plus it does absolutely nothing to kill the bacteria that live under those pores. Toothpaste also leaves behind unsightly red marks. The best method is to stick to the tried and true methods of acne reduction. Natural remedies like apple cider, lemon and honey work best. Also any cream with salicylic acid will work wonders.
Numero 6! Tape!
Pop singer Lady Gaga use gauze and tape to carefully extract her flamboyant eye makeup after a grueling live show in front of thousands. She pairs her glittery outfits with equally glittery makeup. Problem is glitter is quite hard to remove and can lead to sore skin. Fabric tape is the best alternative to remove eye makeup without causing any skin abrasions. Although one should stick to the conventional makeup remover and cold water if one has unduly sensitive skin.
Numero 7! Ketchup!
Hollywood actress Sienna Miller has stuck to this through thick and thin. She accidentally used henna to dye her blond locks. Henna is a very powerful and vibrant dye and not so easy to get rid off. She says that adding a bowl of ketchup to her hair and letting it sit for a couple minutes got rid of the henna in no time. Experts are a little dubious when it comes to this particular treatment. They suggest going to a salon or using rubbing alcohol with a generous dollop of mineral oil to get your hair corrected.
Numero 8! Red Wine!
Teri Hatcher sure loves herself some red wine and not just in a glass. After a grueling day on the sets of her movies, she douses her bath tubwater in a generous helping of red wine and soaks in the concoction for hours on end. She believes it is the best solution to get flawless, blemish free skin. Red wine has tartaric acid.
This acid help open the pores and exfoliates the skin. Although important to note, it would take a dozen bottles of wine and a dozen soaks before any changes become noticeable. Wine is also known to further irritate any pre existing scratches or abrasions you might have on your skin.
