Expert Skin Care

The Hollywood beauty Demi Moore has always been praised for her beauty. Now, she is ready to share her beauty secrets. She is in talks to launch her own range of beauty products.

Buzz up!The 46-year-old actress is the current face of ‘All You’ve Ever Wanted.’ It is a fragrance by the cosmetics labels Helena Rubinstein. The partnership has brought about a “very deep and serious conversation” about creating her own line.

Demi Moore hopes she can settle a contract with the bosses of Helena Rubinstein. She feels that they have a greater creative opportunity in working with something where we could really form a true partnership. The venture will be mutually beneficiary.

Charlize Theron is heralded as one of the world’s most beautiful women; having started her career as a model she has become a highly successful actress with starring roles in movies such as The Devil’s Advocate, Hancock and the award winning Monster.

Now she has revealed the beauty secrets she can’t live without (InStyle magazine October 2009) and one of the most surprising is the ancient Aboriginal remedy called emu oil.

Many big stars such as Demi Moore, Zac Efron and Jenny McCarthy are also fans of emu oil, using it to keep their skin looking its best due to its anti-aging properties, but Charlie uses it for something else.

Charlize says: “I’m not big into styling products, but I use this Australian oil to moisturise my hair.”

Charlize's use of emu oil isn't just for celebrities however, and the science adds up. Emu oil is a powerful mosituriser, but unlike other oil's it won't clog up your pores as comedogencity tests show it has a score of less than one. Furthermore emu oil is naturally jam packed with essential fatty acids, nutrients vital for healthy skin and hair that help keep hair in peak condition and looking radiant.

There is even evidence to suggest that emu oil can help thicken hair and reverse the effects of hair loss with studies having looked at emu oil's ability to increase skin cell regeneration and hair growth.

In the UK the leading brand of emu oil is the Golden Emu Oil range from the Pioneer Trading Company.

Aside from their straight up oil the Pioneer Trading Company also offer a full Golden Emu Oil hair care range, including shampoos and conditioner. Now available at shopforhealth.co.uk with prices starting at just £6.80.

Halle Berry has it all: iconic beauty, an Academy Award and a happy family. Still, one thing is missing: “I’ve always wanted my very own fragrance, one that defines who I am,” Halle told OK!. In an OK! exclusive, Halle shares her style secrets and beauty tips and talks about her new fragrance Halle by Halle Berry.

The stunning actress and doting mom of 19-month-old daughter Nahla with her gorgeous boyfriend Gabriel Aubry finally has the sexy scent that she’s been seeking for. “And because the scent you wear says a lot about you, I’ve taken the time to choose the one that’s just right for me,” she told OK!.

How is the fragrance an extension of your personality?
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more in touch with my sexuality. I feel more free, and I like expressing it. I love this fragrance because it’s very sensual, sexy and playful, on top of being exotic and fruity.

Describe your personal style.
It all depends on my mood and how I’m feeling at that time in my life. But there’s always a simplicity to my look — I don’t like getting overly done-up.

What’s your beauty mantra?
I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have. I’m really serious about my skin-care regimen at night. I never ever go to bed — or even nap — with makeup on.

Are you high or low maintenance when it comes to your beauty routine?
I’m a fanatic about skin care, but when it comes to makeup, I’m not. Some days I’ll go out with no makeup on and not even care, because I don’t have the time to be that concerned about it.

Can you share some of the top beauty tips you’ve picked up along the way?
Don’t wear too much makeup, because you can ened up looking like a man in drag! And learn how to line your lips.

Are you into experimenting with your look?
I went back to short hair after having long hair for five years. That’s the beauty of being a woman right now — you can change up your look any way you want because there are no limits. It’s acceptable to have short hair one day and long the next.

Are you planning a follow-up fragrance?
I’m a big orchid lover, so I’d love to do something tied to my favorite flower. If you walk into my house any day of the week you’re guaranteed to find orchids somewhere.

1. Fight Ingrown Hairs: Two days after a bikini wax, exfoliate your skin with a sea-salt scrub. It'll prevent dead skin build-up and blocked pores.

2. Apply Eyeliner Perfectly: Instead of trying to draw one long line, use short strokes, which are easier to control so you're less likely to end up with gaps.

3. Prevent Dark Polish Stains on Your Skin: Before removing a dark shade of nail polish, put lotion on the skin around your nails, which stops the color from spreading to your skin.

4. Keep Your Lips Bacteria-Free: Instead of dipping your fingers into a lip balm pot over and over again, use a cotton swab (cut in half to save money!) to avoid bacteria and germs. Then chuck the swab at the end of the day.

5. Fight Ingrown Hairs: Two days after a bikini wax, exfoliate your skin with a sea-salt scrub. It'll prevent dead skin build-up and blocked pores.

The 41-year-old successful actress is mother to three kids! Her happy family consists of 3-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 1-year-old son, Henry, with husband, Danny Moder. Julia Roberts insists all of them make her look beautiful.

Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller is already naturally gorgeous, and always has that beach girl-look about her, so she's the perfect person to ask about how to get that summer style. Plus, as the current cover girl of Shape magazine, we had to grill her about her secrets for getting into shape for the warm months ahead.

Hollyscoop caught up with Marisa at the W Hollywood’s stunningly seductive WET Pool, and she gave us the scoop on how to look and feel great this summer.

When asked what some of her beauty tips were, she told us, “I think one of the most important things is to work out. I mean obviously no one likes to work out, but it's really important to be toned and firmed. It's really important not to forget your skin either. Coming from winter, it's like we're all a little dry, and it's important to exfoliate and to use SPF.”

We whole-heartedly agree that being tan (as well as toned) is a summer must, but we Hollyscoopers know the sun’s harmful rays are not the way to get that glow! Luckily, Marisa clued us in on a great product that’ll give you a guilt-free bronze.

She told Hollyscoop, “I love this product by Victoria's Secret, Bare Bronze, because it has sunscreen and a self-tanner in it so it's great because you can really gradually build up your color transitioning from spring to summer and it hides a lot of imperfections....so it's really important not to forget about your skin when swimsuit season is coming up.”

We asked her if laying out in the sun was a big no-no for her, and Marisa said, “I used to. I've grown up at the beach my whole life, I surf, and the last 2 years because the self tanner is so great.... maybe 10 years ago the color wasn't so great, but I mean now this Bare Bronze product I use is awesome. That's what I use and I notice my skin looks better and it's really important to use SPF.”

Aside from exercise, Marisa is adamant about maintaining a healthy diet as well. Here’s one of her supermodel secrets: “One of the things that I do before I have a big shoot is, for breakfast I'll have a big smoothie. It's really simple to make and it's easy if you're on the go and you just have a couple minutes. I'll do organic blueberries, frozen berries, a banana, yogurt, and protein powder, and it fills you up but it's good because it's good to replace with a smoothie. It makes your skin pretty. It's a nice little slimming tip.”

With Marisa’s busy schedule of modeling, it’s hard to imagine she has any time left in the day! But we asked if she’s thinking about her future, and if she wants to be a mother some day.

Marisa told Hollyscoop, “Of course. Heidi Klum...I'm such a fan of her and how she balances everything so great and she has kids and such a great family life, so that's definitely something I aspire one day, but it's a little difficult when you model swimwear!”
