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

Joanna Vargas’ salon is tucked away in an intimate space in a non-descript office building near Bryant Park. With only two treatment rooms, Vargas gives her celebrity and fashionista clientele the personal attention they crave. The 39-year-old Latina has had her own spa, Joanna Vargas Skin Care, for three years and has been an aesthetician for 12 years.

“I thought I would do [fashion] makeup, but I didn’t care for the amount of pressure and yelling on a photo shoot,” the University of Chicago graduate says. “So I went to aesthetics school and fell in love with skincare instead.

I recently visited Joanna’s salon and sampled her signature Triple Crown Facial, which utilizes a mild electrical current known as microcurrent. Here’s what she had to say about her innovative techniques:

Hot Mama Daily: Tell me about the Triple Crown Facial.

Joanna Vargas: It’s called the Triple Crown facial ($250) because there are three components: A diamond microdermabrasion at the beginning; I don’t do any facial without that step. Then the majority of the facial is done with microcurrent, which drains excess puffiness, tightens the muscle, and restores the skin. The final part of the facial is an oxygen treatment, which is 98 percent pure oxygen, infused with a serum of green tea, vitamins and aloe.

HMD: What are the benefits of getting a facial like this as opposed to a traditional facial with extractions?

JV: I do traditional facials as well. The focus with this facial is anti-aging and the general health of the skin. Extractions are good if you have something to come out, but a lot of people don’t need extractions. I believe [the Triple Crown Facial] is like going to the gym for your face. It keeps your muscles strengthened and makes sure your skin is a healthy as it can be. It gives you a glow. I think when a woman feels healthy and like she’s doing everything she can for her body, she feels confident. And that translates into looking beautiful.

HMD: I have some hyper-pigmentation and acne scarring. What would you suggest?

JV: I do something called a VitaLight treatment ($150) that uses LED light therapy. It is a proven treatment that uses red and infrared light that corrects any skin damage and stimulates your lymphatic system. It also causes cells to produce ATP, which the cells need to maintain proper health. Pretty much all of my clients do LED treatments as well as weekly or monthly facials. LED is great for anything from acne scars and wrinkles to active acne. It really helps all skin types. For general maintenance, clients get it with their facial once a month.

HMD: What would you suggest for me in terms of maintenance?

JV: You don’t really have a lot of extractions. But you need to exfoliate more.

HMD: I use a buff puff. A lot of aestheticians tell me not to.

JV: [laughing] Okay, that’s not good. I recommend using organic products to everyone. They help restore the glow to your skin and I think the body assimilates them better than products with chemicals. After age 30, you have to step it up a bit. You can’t just use whatever product, and good products don’t have to be expensive. You want to feed your skin the right vitamins and nutrients, just like when you eat a salad with a healthy protein instead of a burger every day. For you, I would also recommend a monthly Triple Crown facial and VitaLight therapy to bring out your skin tone in general. That would pretty much keep everyone guessing about your age.

HMD: I like that.
