Over 40 Stars Anti-aging Beauty Secrets

Hollywood stars over 40 have quite the arsenal of celebrity beauty secrets for staying young and looking great. Just to name a few, think of the classic Sophia Loren (76) and Catherine Deneuve (67). To add to this list, think of others such as Suzanne Somers (63), Raquel Welch (66), Meryl Streep (60), Julianne Moore (49), Helen Mirren (65), Julia Roberts (43), Nicole Kidman (43), Jennifer Lopez (41), Patricia Clarkson (50), Monica Belluci (46), Sharon Stone (50) and Selma Hayek (43). What all these stars have in common is that they are looking terrific for their age.

Now, granted, all of these women were born with great bone structure, and they have taken care of themselves throughout their lives. Thirty is no longer what 30 used to be and neither is 40 or 50 or 60 or even 70. They all share the same celebrity beauty secrets as far as healthy eating, regular exercising and working out and visiting the right anti aging spas. No doubt, with the cash on hand, they also have the opportunity to purchase wonderful anti-aging skin care, spa treatments, facials, etc.

But if you take a look at their photos, their celebrity beauty goes beyond diet, exercise, private trainers, healthy eating, plenty of water, expensive moisturizers and anti aging treatments.

These stars are going above and beyond the basic beauty routines which all of us can do if we want to look great over 40 years of age.

They are all making use of every form of plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery that the rich can afford. There are so many new techniques in both plastic and cosmetic surgery these days. Some cosmetic surgery procedures are not that expensive and are within the reach of us mere mortals. Granted, when you have to repeatedly have some things done such as Botox or other cosmetic injections which can become expensive over time, the costs add up.


Suzanne Somers, whose looks are her industry of writing award winning books on anti-aging and selling anti-aging and natural organic cosmetics, she has to look good. She eats right with her Somersizing diet, practices yoga, dresses well, uses bioidentical hormones and takes about 65 nutritional supplements each day.

Raquel Welch also does yoga everyday and wears any one of her fabulous wigs. At 66 years old, she has all the anti-aging tools at her finger tips. Experts will say that she’s had lots of cosmetic fillers, cheek enhancements and lip injections.

Some of these Hollywood stars should slow down their anti-aging surgeries though. Nicole Kidman should slow it down. It is obvious that only her lips and eyes move in her face. It should serve as a warning to us that you can have too much cosmetic surgery. No one wants to be branded a “cosmetic surgery junkie.” You want your anti aging treatments to look natural, emphasis on the word “natural.”

Many of the cosmetic surgery procedures are excellent, leaving you looking relaxed, fresh and like you’ve just returned from a vacation. You can bet that everyone in Hollywood that still looks great is doing it. From Cher, Jane Fonda, Michelle Pfeiffer, Demi Moore, they’ve all had a “gentle tweaking.” And it is not only the female stars that are using these anti-aging treatments.

Many of the male actors are also going for youthful looks. Jon Bon Jovi, and Michael Douglas, to name a few. Everyone in Hollywood is doing it – using plastic and cosmetic surgery to enhance their looks and hang onto youth for just a little bit longer. If you are considering anti aging cosmetic surgery, I can just one of the best anti aging tips for you here. Always use an accredited plastic surgeon with a great reputation and for heaven’s sakes, don’t overdo it. The key is to stay natural as you age. Age gracefully!

CLEAN & CLEAR makes a day SOFT with a new Moisturizer

So today I want to talk a bit about my new favourite accessory. No it’s not the latest iPod gizmo. It’s not a new watch or neclace. And it’s definitely not a new handbag. Because the most beautiful thing out there, as far as I’m concerned, is the simple and natural things in life. And what could be more natural than your own skin? You’ve had it since you were born. Nope. My new favourite “carry-along” is my bottle of, believe it or not -- skin moisturizing lotion.

I’m talking about my Clean and Clear soft DAY oil-free moisturizer. Now, don’t get confused. There’s a NIGHT version too. And I’m not talking about that one! It’s too thin to work the magic my DAY moisturizer does. And that, my friends, is a fact. Ask anyone and they’ll agree. The night one doesn’t come with the additional SPF 15 either. And actually, that’s the reason it’s not strong enough and up for the job. It’s why you have to put it on your skin at night -- no one can see your skin at night!


But for anyone looking for anti-aging tips -- I’ve got one for you: TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN. A good anti-aging skin care program is essential to the well being of the average citizen. You don’t want to speed up the aging process do you? And that’s why I love my Clean and Clear Soft Day Moisturizer. It keeps me feeling fresh and young -- even when you’re I’m ready for what life throws at me. And, let me just be clear -- by soft, I mean SOFT!! Like a silk scarf or a tiny kitten. Try it and you’ll know that the softness is imaculate...

All you have to do is take a quick wiff and I assure you, you will fall in love. At least I did. Love on first sniff.

Also -- it doesn’t just work with anti-aging properties that create softness. And it doesn’t just smell good. It also protects you from harmful rays and wind damage.

And it looks good too.

Let me tell you what I love about even just the packaging. Johnson and Johnson, the folks who bring you the soft baby bottom, may only have a small logo on the bottom of the white bottle, but stands strong and bold. On a rounded purple square reads the title -- written in white -- that catches your eye but doesn’t blow it away with wasteful ferocity: Clean and Clear. The rest of the lettering is an almost aqua blue, and it gives the sensation of being alive -- the spray of a fountain, the caress of a lover, the fresh breath of the morning -- just by even looking at your little bottle. Even the smallest detail of the skin-hydration product is tailored with care. Now the best part about my Clean and Clear moisturizer is its size. Just bigger than your thumb, you will have no problems finding a space for it in your bag, purse, jacket or jeans. It really is a transient multi-purpose accessory.

Ever have a friend say -- “OHHHH -- I hate when this happens to me. I’m so dry! This is terrible.”? Well, now you’re all the sudden their new BEST friend! Just whip out your little oil-free product from the zipper pocket you keep it in, unscrew the cap, and dole out some glistening white lines of blissful perfection. She’ll rub it in with a tender caress and feel complete and utter release. It works every time. You may, eventually need to reapply -- but the ecstasy you will feel just by using this product will be worth it, I promise you.

When I tried the soft day moisturizer it was an experience to remember. The sun shone down with a playful touch. There were children playing in the park. And the world moved on and on around me -- but I didn’t notice the rush, the endless hustle and bustle. I was caught up in my own bliss. The new taste life I sensed upon applying just the very least amount of lotion I could. Clouds soared overhead, as if they moved to their own rhythm. Buildings glistened with power. Men and women smiled as they moved along their paths. Because when you take care of yourself you find a place for yourself. Sheer satisfaction. I felt like I had just given my coarse skin fillet mignon. I got up from where I was lounging, ready for desert.

I’m sure they must have spent FOREVER figuring this gem out in the lab. Have you seen all the unpronounceable words on the back? They use sugar cane and sugar maple and bilberry and water -- plus all the other unpronounceable ones (like Arachidylglucoside, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, and Threonine for example) and somehow turn it into something that’s safe and fun.

I hope you like it too. :)
