Supermodel Beauty Tips

Who knows more about beauty than supermodels? They are, after all, the superheroes of beauty and fashion, right?

Though they me superheroes on the catwalk, they are regular ladies like you and I that still have to work hard at managing skin problems and insecurities.

Here are some beauty tips from famous supermodels:

When Adriana Lima gets bad skin, she quickly dabs on a bit of tea tree oil to reduce swelling and fight the bacteria that causes it. Tea tree is natural and has anti bacterial and anti inflammatory properties that help in eliminating pimples.
Gisele Bundchen often sports the “bed hair” look in public. Before sleeping she ties her hair up while it's still damp, then goes to bed. When she wakes up in the morning it looks nice and wavy, then she just adds a bit of hair serum for a bit of added shine.
To really bring attention to her eyes, Tyra Banks she wears white eyeliner on her bottom inner eyelid. This make them appear larger and makes them pop.
Lakshmi Menon listens to her mother for beauty advice. "She taught me to use organic coconut oil as a treatment. It makes my hair feel luxurious."
Coconut oil is a great tool to keep your hair healthy, shiny and strong. The oil increases circulation in the scalp, supplying nutrients to the hair follicles. Just apply the oil, starting from the scalp and working it out through to the ends. Massage the head for a few minutes to work the oil well into the follicles, leave it for 1 hour, then shampoo well and condition.

Karolina Kurkova keeps her skin fresh and blemish-free by washing her face with juice from a fresh lemon. Lemon juice is both a disinfectant and cleanser. It contains natural citric acids that help sough off dead skin, leaving you with a fresh healthy glow.

To get skin like Karolina - squeeze lemon juice into a bowl, apply it to your face with cotton pads, then leave on for a few minutes and rinse.

Show Some Summer Skin

When the heat turns up outside, nothing is comfier than a sleeveless top to keep you cool!

Get your skin ready for a sleeveless summer with these tips.

Backne Be Gone
Back and shoulder acne can be more stubborn to tame than pimples on your face. Try using a wash containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to clear up backne breakouts. If your breakouts persist, you may need to ask your doctor for a prescription for a topical antibiotic.

Keratosis Pilaris Disappear!
It may sound like a spell from Harry Potter, but Keratosis Pilaris refers to the unsightly red bumps that are commonly found on the back of the upper arms. These bumps are caused by clogged hair follicles. Use an exfoliating scrub or lotion containing salicylic, lactic or glycolic acid. Using the Clarisonic with its Body Brush attachment is also a great tool for battling the bumps.

Manage Tinnea Versicolor
(Where do these things get their names???)
Tinnea Versicolor refers to white-to-pink or tan-to-dark scaly patches often caused by an overgrowth of the yeast that normally lives in your pores. These marks may become more prominent when you have a tan. Use an over-the-counter antifungal soap containing pyrithione zinc. And don’t forget your sunscreen!
