Expert Skin Care

The former Spice Girl said in an interview for the latest issue of British InStyle magazine that her and the footballer are not worried about getting older.

She said: "I have no problem with surgery at all but for me, it looks ridiculous when you have a face that looks 25 and a body that looks 65. I think it's much more modern to go for a natural look.

"But ask me next year and that might change."

David, 35, and Victoria admitted to using alternative therapies.

The 36-year-old said: "We both like crystals, as in crystal energy."

Victoria also praised the oxygen facials she gets from a dermatologist.

She added: "Dr Lancer has really sorted my skin out."

Although Posh says she definitely doesn't use fake tan.

Beckham said: "I've embraced whiteness. I don't use any tanning products. Sometimes in photographs I look orange, which is really random, because I don't use fake tan at all."

David Beckham has always been known for his looks alongside his soccer skills, but the star was left absolutely baffled when grilled about his beauty secret.

While fielding questions about the 2018 World Cup bid, Beckham was suddenly asked about his film star looks by a flirtatious female radio reporter.

Stephanie Oehen, a pretty host for Zurich rock station Radio 24, said, "Forget the secrets of the England bid, what are your beauty secrets?"

As laughter rang out in the background, Beckham nervously rubbed his designer stubble, played with a microphone and looked at his feet.

"I don't know - having three boys to chase, that keeps me fit of course. Oh my goodness, you've got me flustered," the Daily Express quoted him as the footballer finally replied.

He then tried to deflect Oehen by telling her he still had a year left on his contract with Californian soccer team LA Galaxy.

Oehen, 23, said afterwards she was delighted simply to ask the world's most famous footballer a question.

"It's every girl's dream. He's gorgeous. I just wanted to know how he does it," she said.

on the pimple and leave it overnight. By the morning the pimple will dry.

2.Hemorrhoid Cream – This might be nasty to apply to your face, but it is one of the best beauty tips to get rid of your tired puffy eyes which takes away the look of beautiful eyes. It is also good for wrinkles and getting rid of cellulite.

3.Baby Wipes – The safe way to clean your face is by using baby wipes. This beauty secret works wonders to remove makeup and oil from the face, leaving behind a soft baby smell to your skin.

5.Powder – Many do not use powder on the face as it makes the face look dry and scaly. The best beauty tips on apply powder which does not give you a dry look is to first apply a cream to the face, followed by a dab of powder. This will give you a fresh look.

Liv Tyler has shown the benefits of a natural skin care routine, by forgoing cosmetics and styling in a Givenchy fragrance advert.

Grazia reported that the Lord of the Rings actress posed for some pre-styling pics during a shoot for the high-end cosmetics brand and looked so good without natural makeup that the untouched images were eventually chosen.

With naturally wavy hair lying in a relaxed parting, Liv's strong features and flawless complexion were deemed to be far more striking than the shots that were taken after she had sat in the stylist's chair.

Speaking of the shots, Liv said: "There's something quite raw about it. I feel unafraid of exposing myself and the woman I am today ... My hair was wet and I had no makeup on."

It's not just the youngsters that can look amazing when they leave the cosmetics in their makeup bag – yesterday, the Daily Mail reported that Diana Ross looked fabulous when she went natural makeup-free at a US airport.

It seems beauty companies are tiring of the usual celebrities and are reaching out to more up-and-coming stars who resonate with a younger generation. It was just announced that Amanda Seyfriend has signed on to be the face of Clé de Peau. She will star in ads that launch in Japan this month and in the USA in March.

Amanda was drawn to Clé de Peau's emphasis on skin care and because of their high-end makeup. Yet, despite her new role as a brand ambassador, Amanda confesses fashion and beauty can sometimes take the back burner. She says:

At some levels I’m good at fashion and putting myself together, and then, some days I’m completely absent-minded about it.

Congrats to Amanda on landing this campaign! We can't wait to see the ads!

A source says the actress “is always in search of the newest anti-aging treatment!”

Holy Wrinkle Creams, BFFs! Did you know that Hollywood beauty Demi Moore spends over $150,000 a year on costly skincare treatments? Can you imagine?!? Read on and I’ll give you the scoop!

According to Daily Mail UK, the gorgeous actress is fond of Thermage skin-tightening treatments, a non-invasive procedure that uses radio frequency to heat the deepest layers of the skin while keeping the surface cool, resulting in a plumping and firming of the skin’s appearance.

The treatments are worth over $3000 a pop and Demi is reported to love the effects so much she sometimes goes more than once a week! That’s an estimated $150,000 on just skin treatments, people!

Demi’s no stranger to the costly skin treatment controversy. It’s rumored that she had over $320,000 worth of surgery after she turned 40 and before filming Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. She reportedly had an entire body overhaul, including almost $26,000 on liposuction, a generous $32,000 for a face lift, and $15,000 on breast implants. She reportedly even had a knee lift!

Can you IMAGINE what the annual cost of her beauty routine must be?!? We’re not even talking about facials with a celebrity esthetician, body treatments, maintenance products (moisturizers, eye creams, night creams, body creams, etc.) I’m willing to bet my own beloved night cream that the annual amount spent on Demi’s beauty could keep most of us in Louboutins for years!

Hair Problem: You've cut your bangs too short
Quick Fix: To help disguise the length of your bangs, sweep them to the side until they grow out rather than wearing them straight down on your forehead. Coat damp bangs with a pea-size drop of light-hold gel, then blast them to the side with a blow-dryer. You can also camouflage your handiwork by pulling the hair off your forehead with stylish bobby pins or a headband.

Hair Problem: Split Ends
Quick Fix: Split ends cannot be fixed or mended; they can only be cut off. Be gentle with your hair and use a deep conditioner twice a week to help prevent further damage. Try to minimize the stress on your strands between cuts by avoiding vent brushes with plastic bristles, shampooing every other day and protecting hair from heat-styling by using a leave-in conditioner.

Hair Problem: You OD'd on highlights and your hair's bleached out
Quick Fix: Look for an allover, demi-permanent color (a long-lasting, temporary dye that washes out in four to six weeks) in a hue one shade deeper than your highlights to get rid of brassiness. If your hair still isn't the shade you want, head to the salon to have a professional weave in some lowlights to reintroduce the darker undertones you've lost.

Hair Problem: Dry, Dull Hair
Quick Fix: Try leave-in conditioners that can add moisture to your hair and protect it from environmental damage that could lead to additional moisture loss. Look for products that contain hydrating botanicals such as rice milk, bamboo milk and milk thistle. Alternate your regular shampoo with a clarifying one once every few weeks to prevent product buildup.

Glowing Skin

Often ignored, what you do and don't do with your skin can truly make or break an outfit. What's the point of donning a knock-out strapless party dress when you've got dead skin flaking from your elbows? Two easy steps can make all the difference. Start by sloughing off winter's dry skin by using a moisturizing scrub, like Glow Rescue's Organic Sugar Scrub in peppermint and lavender ($38 for 473 millilitres at BeautyMark [1120 Hamilton Street]). The mix of essential oils, including sunflower, sweet almond, jojoba, macadamia, and wheatgerm, exfoliates skin, while vitamin E moisturizes for a baby-soft, supple feel. Next, lock in moisture with one of three seasonal body butters ($20 each) from the Body Shop (various locations). Spiced Vanilla and Cranberry Joy will leave your skin smooth with a festive scent, while Coconut Shimmer will give your skin an added glow—great for shoulders and arms when you're wearing sleeveless dresses.

Ocean-Inspired Nails

This season's nail trend is all about shimmering oceanic hues. For a bold look, try a lusciously dark blue, such as Ming Blue ($13) by MAC Cosmetics (various locations), or a festive forest green, like Anna Sui's shimmer nail polish in 90 ($15 at Sears [various locations]). If your outfit is colourful enough, glistening shades of silver or gold are also trendy choices. L'Wren Scott created a daring gunmetal shade for Lancome ($16, at Holt Renfrew [737 Dunsmuir Street]), or if you prefer to dip your nails in gold, try Christian Dior's Timeless Gold ($21 at Holt Renfrew).

Retro Hair

With this season's Mad Men –inspired retro fashions, hair naturally followed in its prim and proper, feminine steps. For girls with longer locks, infuse moisture into winter's dry locks with John Masters Organics Shine On ($39 for 118 millilitres at BeautyMark). This organic leave-in product keeps hair smooth and silky, a perfect base whether you choose to wear your hair up or down. Complete a vintage look by trying a modern beehive, which sits lower on the head than its 1960s inspiration, or a low ballet bun is a great way to put statement jewellery in the spotlight. If you prefer to wear your hair down, achieve soft and bouncy waves with John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Dream Curl Perfecter Spray ($9.99 for 200 millilitres at London Drugs [various locations]). For girls with of-the-moment pixie cuts, add playful texture to your 'do with the Body Shop's Beeswax Texturing Wax ($10).

Cat Eyes

Unleash your feline instincts with cat eyes this holiday season. This look can be worn two ways: with defined precision or with the subtle use of shadows. For the classic, black liquid-liner look, try Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($26) or Geisha Ink's Liquid Eyeliner ($30) from BeautyMark. With markerlike brush tips, both products make drawing lines effortless even for the shakiest of hands. If you'd rather stay away from liquid eye liner altogether, achieve cat eyes by sweeping two or three shadows across the eyelids. MAC's eye-shadow duos and trios are perfect for experimenting with different hues. The Illusionary/Burning Ambition duo ($19.50) complements all skin tones with its blend of golden colours, while the Style Influencer trio ($19.50) will let you play with shimmering silver, deep blue, and mauve brown.

Classic Red Lips

Red lips are always in style and a great colour boost to pale winter skin. Yves Saint Laurent's Rouge Pur Couture ($30 at Sephora [various locations]) comes in 10 shades of red, from bright orange-red, to vampy maroon. While red lips look great on everyone, paying attention to subtle differences between pigments and finding the right one for your skin tone can really make the colour pop. Those with cooler skin tones should veer towards shades of red that carry almost a blue tone, such as deeper plums. Girls with warmer skin tones should look for bright reds with a hint of orange to complement your golden complexion. If you're making a big statement with the rest of your beauty look, such as trying out the smoky cat eye using a trio of colours, keep the rest of your makeup simple, including your lips. NARS offers two creamy, nude hues that you can layer with your lip gloss, Honolulu Honey and Promiscuous ($24 each at Sephora), to achieve a polished yet subtle look
