I
kept being asked, “How do the celebs look so flawless day in and day out?” my
answer is simple and realistic it takes a village to perfect a red carpet look.
Most celebs work with a team of people dedicated to helping them look flawless
— aestheticians, dermatologists, makeup artists, and photographers. I speak
from professional experience when I say that the stars are just like everyone
else: They experience dark circles, cystic acne, blackheads, and brown spots.
But, since their physical appearance is an important and integral part of their
careers, they spend a lot of time and money doing whatever they need to put
their best face forward.
Myth Busted: “Celebs
have Good Genes”
While
good genes definitely play a role in certain skin conditions like oiliness,
skin color, and skin thickness, you might be surprised to learn that
approximately 30% of aging can be attributed to genetics and 70% to personal
habits. This fact is clinically proven by studies that evaluated how identical-twins
age. If it were all left to genetics, it would make sense for twins to age in
the same manner and at the same rate, but research has shown us that lifestyle
factors play a huge role. For example, if one person smokes or works in a
profession that forces them to have more exposure to UV rays, one is bound to
age faster than the other non-smoking twin who is rarely exposed to harmful UV
rays.
Most skin experts agree on the fact that good genes definitely play a
role in how skin looks and acts, but, ultimately, it's how you take care of
your skin on a daily basis that's a reflection of your age.
Real “Secrets” Of Celeb
Skincare
Celebs
do have a few tricks up their sleeves, which help them keep their skin flawless.
Here’re a few cardinals rules that you can adopt to give your self an edge on
the rest of the nescient populace.
Understand Your Skin Type
And Stay Loyal To Your Skincare Routine
The
first and most important rule to achieve good skin is: understanding your skin
type — normal, dry, oily, pigmented, sensitive or a mix. Second rule to be on
your way to achieve skin perfection is: using products created for your specific
skin type only. If people with oily skin will use products for dry skin only a
disaster and an acne flare can come out of that. If you are unable to match
your correct skin type to your skincare routine get professional help and see a
dermatologist. Once you find the winning formula stick to it don’t change for
the heck of changing. If your skin is changing, then and only then is it time
for a change. In your daily skincare routine look for products with active
ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, peptides, and salicylic acid, find a
well-formulated moisturizer with sunscreen and apply it generously to the face
and neck 365 days a year. Sunscreen is absolutely the most effective anti-aging
product available.
Professional Skincare
Treatments
Chemical
peels, oxygen treatments, bio-brasion, ultrasonic exfoliation, Mesotherapy, LED
light, micro-current, RF facials Ultrasound facials…they do it all, oftentimes
on a weekly basis. Of course, for a lot of us, this isn't realistic — or
affordable — but good skin maintenance is something we can all manage. And, if
you can't make it into a med spa or dermatologist’s office for monthly treatments,
look for at-home treatments that can boost your skin similarly.
Stay Out Of Sun
Number
one cause of wrinkles and skin pigmentations is UV rays from the sun, wearing
an SPF moisturizer on the face and neck, 365 days a year, rain or shine, inside
or outside is imperative. And, whenever possible (and assuming you’re
interested in avoiding premature wrinkles), limit your time in the sun. Your
skin will thank you and you’ll keep a smooth, healthy-looking, and even-toned
texture.
Don’t
be a starry-eyed fool next time you see a celebrity in a magazine. Their beauty
routine is likely anything but easy and effortless.
