Some women have all the luck. No matter how old they get, they never look any older. More often than not, these women are celebrities, and they're not lucky, they're just fortunate enough to have a wealth of secrets to help them stay forever young.
Plastic surgery, anti aging products, makeup and more, are all in the powerful arsenals that celebrities bring to the fight against time.
Since the advent of injectables, they've become a go-to solution for actresses looking to smooth wrinkles and plump skin. Botox is still the preferred injectable, treating wrinkles in the forehead, between and around the eyes. It works by paralyzing muscles under the skin. Some use too much and get that "frozen face," which Nicole Kidman is often accused of having. According to Kidman, she maintains her smooth complexion by staying out of the sun, not by Botoxing. Other celebrities opt to go for a more natural look by leaving their crow's feet untreated.
Other popular injectables are known as fillers and include products like Radiesse, Juvederm and Restylane, to name a few. These products plump up lines and add fullness to the cheeks and lips. Too much filler and you get the "trout pout" of stars like Melanie Griffith. But administered just right, and you can get rid of the "parentheses" lines around the mouth.
Laser treatments like Fraxel and Active FX work by either stimulating collagen production to reveal younger skin underneath. Laser treatments can also help with acne and even cellulite. British star Anna Friel loves the Polaris laser, while British talent judge Amanda Holden says that she stopped using Botox and turned instead to the laser.
Chemical peels remove the top layers of damaged skin to reveal younger skin underneath. Different concentrations of chemicals are available and the process is available in many dermatologists' offices. The result is smooth skin, perfect for makeup application.
Great makeup application goes a long way in looking younger. While celebrities have professionals to do their makeup for the big screen and red carpet events, there are plenty of secrets you can borrow from the stars. Start by visiting a professional makeup artist. Have them write down the steps they use to beautify you. Concealer under the eyes and light reflecting powder on the cheekbones can all help to lighten the skin and prevent aging shadows.
When all else fails, or if you are especially bothered by a problem area, many celebrities turn to plastic surgery for a nip here or a tuck there.
