The best celebrity skin ageing secrets
When it comes to skincare, celebrities have access to the best products, treatments and expert advice. But their top secrets for youthful skin might be simpler than you think. Here’s a look at 3 A-listers whose timeless beauty tips are refreshingly achievable...
1. Victoria Beckham – The Power of Omega 3 ✨
Victoria Beckham’s passion for beauty and wellness is almost unmatched. One of her best-kept secrets? Omega 3. Her dermatologist once recommended that she incorporate more Omega 3 into her diet to support her skin, and she has been eating grilled salmon almost every day ever since!
Why Omega 3? It’s known for enhancing collagen production, which helps keep skin plump and firm. Plus, for those prone to breakouts like Victoria, Omega 3 can balance oil production and reduce inflammation, resulting in fewer, less severe breakouts.
Since our bodies don’t produce Omega 3 naturally, getting it from external sources is essential. If daily salmon isn’t for you, try supplements or plant-based alternatives like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or walnuts. These options will help you achieve that coveted glow from the inside out.
2. Halle Berry - The dewier, the better ✨
Halle Berry once said "No matter what age you are, you always look a little better when your skin is a little dewy, not too powdery”. And I couldn’t agree more!
Like Halle, I went through a phase where I wanted my skin to be as matte as possible. I had a mattifying primer, matte foundation and to finish my very two-dimensional look off, I’d add a generous layer of setting powder on top. But the thing about this is it’s possibly the fastest way to make your skin appear dull, tired, and for want of a better word, old 🙈
Young skin is always naturally fresh, vibrant and alive which a dewy base replicates instantly. I create mine by applying my 5 Minute Kit every morning and then allowing my Sunbeam Cream - SPF 50 to settle for 5 minutes. It creates this flawlessly glowing finish that sits perfectly under my light CC cream and keeps me looking luminous all day long.
3. Julia Roberts - Live a fulfilling life ✨
Julia Roberts has snubbed the Hollywood norm of having an aesthetic doctor on speed dial. She’s decided to embrace ageing as naturally as possible and is therefore often quizzed about her eternally youthful beauty secrets.
She puts most of her radiance down to good genetics, but as science now tells us that as little as 20% of skin ageing is written in our genes, there must be more to it? And for her, it’s “Leading a life that’s fulfilling”.
Julia says “Anytime you see someone who’s happy, it doesn’t matter how old they are” and this very much matches my own philosophy. To me ‘youth’ isn’t just about reducing lines and wrinkles, it’s about being young at heart, living in the moment and never being afraid to be your true, authentic self.
When this positive energy is written all over your face, you’ll forever be the most eye-catching person in the room.
And there we have it 🙌🏼 More often than not, celebrity skin tips make me wince, but these ones are definitely spot on. So please feel free to tuck them safely into your pocket and you simply can’t go wrong 🥰
