Skin Care Secrets of The Stars

What are some of Hollywood’s A-list celebrities top beauty secrets?

You might be surprised to know that most celebrities have some issues with their skin, after all they are human, just like you and I.

However, you need to know that keeping their skin in flawless condition is a way of life as anything less could be a forced early retirement for some of these beauties.

Hollywood’s Top Beauty Secrets

How old are Susan Sarandon, Madonna or Demi Moore? You will be surprised to know but perhaps what’s really important to some of us is, how do they stay young and beautiful?

A lot of celebrities have been known to fess-up to fillers, peels and botox but what you might not know is that some of these young beauties choose a more natural and holistic way of staying young.

Madonna is a strong advocate of oxygen facials and its been reported that she has her own oxygen machine and travels with her personal esthetician while on tour.

No doubt this is one of her beauty secrets that keeps her skin looking flawless.

Since 2008 celebrities like, Sandra Bullock, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet and many more have admitted that one of their major beauty secret is getting regular microcurrent facials.

And before a big event they come in twice as much in order to keep and maintain the results which are: a more defined jaw line, accentuated cheek bones, diminished or erased fine lines or wrinkles.

Of course these are just two but in my opinion the biggest reasons celebrities maintain their gorgeous good looks.

Celebrity secret number three has been around in one form or another since ancient Egypt. However, before I tell you, ever notice how your foundation looks when it’s applied to scaly, dry skin? You look older and ashier.

Celebrities avoid this by removing the top layer of their skin professionally with a form of exfoliation known as microdermabrasion.

They literally remove years of their face by doing so.

Lastly, don’t fret, anyone can use these known secrets to beautiful, healthy and glowing skin. All you need is a little each month and soon you’ll see the results you have been looking for.

Beauty secrets are usually simple and all they take is a little bit of consistency to bring your skin to a more healthy and glowing state.

Lastly, I would like to see you at Joanna Vargas Salon, Skin Care Sanctuary for the best facials in New York City. Please call and make your appointments with plenty of time so you can have the times you want. 212/949.2350

Lighten Your Brown Spots

If you have neglected sunscreen in the past, chances are you have a few brown spots on your face and possibly neck and hands.

These sunspots, as they are also known, are the result of sun damage to your skin. Erasing from your face, neck and hands can be a challenging task but it can be done.

Treatments for brown spots can range from laser to chemical peels as the fastest but also the most prone to side effects.

At home treatments or prevention methods are easy and safe. Below I give my recommendations on how you can get rid of these brown spots.

How to Treat Brown Spots

The best way to get rid of brown spots on your face and to prevent further damage is to immediately start using sunscreen. Daily use of sunscreen will help to resolve the sunspot more quickly.

Another easy step and something that you can do immediately is to exfoliate once or twice a week. This will speed of the skin’s cell reproduction and healing mechanism thus lightening the brown spot.

And although this last step is not a topical solution for the brown spot on your face, it is easy and it works well, repairing the damage skin.

Eat & drink lots of foods that have known antioxidants as these will not only prevent further skin damage but also reverse any sun damage done.

All of my facials and LED light therapy treatments contain more than one element to help erase or diminish sunspots.

But at home care is essential to maintain your skin as young and beautiful as you can.

I hope you find these tips and tricks for your skin helpful and I look forward to seeing you at our skin care salon in New York City. Call now 212/949.2350 to make your appointments.
