Becoming the perfect personification of beauty is almost… nearly… not, truly it’s impossible, and even movie stars know that. The key to really looking gorgeous is not to become perfect, but rather to highlight your already-there assets. I mean, what would this world be like if J-Lo didn’t stand up for her impressive back side? What about Angelina Jolie’s famous plump lips and Tyra Banks’ large doe-eyes – can we really live without those? Recently, even the celebs themselves are taking up a more positive stance in regards to beauty. Actresses like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Keira Knightley have spoken up for maintaining their natural beauty despite what Hollywood may consider as flaws to the perfect image.

Saying thus, here are the 3 top beauty tips on how to achieve that Hollywood-esque glamour, without drastically changing your look.

1. Most beauty tips start from within, and so will this one. But no, we are not talking about personalities just yet. We mean that you have to take careful consideration of the food you put inside your system. We are not asking you to ditch food entirely so that you could fit into the near impossible size “0.” After all, Drew Barrymore and America Ferrera are 2 actresses who look G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S even though they are not in that category.

Rather, we want you to look at food as an ally to achieving beauty.  For example, completely eliminating fats in your diet will only make your hair, nails and skin look sallow, dull and brittle.

One of the best skin care tips we can give you then is to go on an appropriate diet. And when we say appropriate diet, we mean a diet that is approved by doctors, dieticians and / or nutritionists. Not all diets are applicable to all body types, you know. An appropriate diet can help you lose or gain pounds (whatever your body needs,) and at the same time, give you that lustrous glow that only comes from being healthy from within.

2. If you want to know some healthy hair secrets, you could also ask the health professional what natural ingredients you could use to enhance you hair type. Eggs and olive oil are great as moisturizers, but there are other botanicals you could use.

As for hair styles and hair colors, one of the biggest mistakes you could do is to do your own hair. It may sound strange, but if you want to capture that Hollywood-esque glam, let the pros handle it. Ask your hairdresser what hair style will accentuate parts of your face that you like. If you have those really gorgeous eyes, (brilliant irises, or a large wide-awake pair,) hiding them underneath loads of bangs will diminish your beauty.

Jennifer Aniston for example, accentuates her sleek, chiseled jaws and slanted cheekbones with her definitive layered locks with the sun-kissed highlights. On the other hand, drastic changes can also be beneficial. Pop sensation Rihanna, continues to make waves with her suddenly short do.

3. As far as make up tips are concerned, the mantra now is light and glowing. Gone are the days when dramatic heavy-lidded eyes and overly rouged cheeks are considered a la mode. If you want make-up that can hide flaws (like dark rings around the eyes,) you could try some base concealers, and then go for mineral-based make-up instead like foundations and blushes.

This simple combo will not only hide undesirable spots, but it can give you that flawless, vibrant look. Just remember to apply the same to your neck area to complete the look.

We all want to stay looking young! Throughout time people have continued to search for the fountain of youth. The secret to a youthful appearance is simple! Keep your skin soft, supple and wrinkle free. Maintaining beautiful, clear skin is a multi-billion dollar industry. Anti aging skin care is a huge industry competing for your dollar. Manufacturers of anti aging skin care products know we will spend large amounts of money trying to make ourselves look younger and better. So, how do we select a product that is effective and a good value and not simply let unscrupulous companies sway us with their fancy market techniques? I have some really good tips I would like to share to help you select an anti aging skin care product of the highest quality.

 1. Collagen and elastin are two major proteins in connective tissue. They are instrumental in keeping your skin younger by providing elasticity and pliability. Many anti aging skin care treatments boast their product contain collagen. Unfortunately, collagen is not useful applied directly on our skin, as in a cream, because its molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. Therefore, any skin product claiming it contains Collagen as a desirable ingredient is just exploiting the public’s ignorance. I do have some good news! Collagen is effective in improving your skin’s appearance when it is produced by your own body. Collagen production by your own body can be stimulated by the use of special substances like Phytessece Wakame and Coenzyme Q10.

 2. Avoid products which contain fragrances. Although fragrances may smell nice they contain chemicals which have toxins in them! These toxins can enter your skin, since it is porous, and even go into your bloodstream which can cause long term harm. Steer clear of any anti aging skin care treatments which contain fragrances. Alternatively, just a spray of body spray, perfume, or cologne will not only smell nice but would limit your exposure to impurities. Many anti aging skin products contain fragrance which you do not want to be spreading over a larger part of your body.

 3. Buy the highest quality product at the best cost. Be weary of buying any product endorsed by celebrity. Why? They cost more! Look for example at Proactiv Solution, the number one selling acne treatment system. This product is endorsed by Jennifer Love Hewitt and other famous people. How much money do you think it costs to pay Jennifer in upfront money and royalties? Most likely MILLIONS of dollars! All the other celebrities get paid an equal amount of money. You bet this added cost is being passed on to you, the consumer. A company would have to mark up the price of its product and you would be the one who has to pay more. Smaller, less known companies can keep their costs lower by spending less on advertising and actually spend more of their money on developing a quality anti aging skin care product.

To sum it up, don’t be fooled into paying more to get a skin care product containing collagen, adding fragrances, or using a well known, expensive celebrity to promote their product. Go find yourself an anti aging skin product that has components proven to stimulate your own body’s production of collagen.
