So now you know how to clear up the occasional bout of adult acne, prevent fine lines and wrinkles (or at least try), and use makeup to hide imperfections (see Celebrity Beauty Secrets Part I and II). Now what about the rest of you? With warm weather knocking at our formerly frost-bitten doors, a girl has got to look golden. Say goodbye to pasty skin, lifeless hair and those extra winter pounds with these celebrity beauty secrets.

The Perfect Tan

So what do Jessica Alba, Britney Spears, Paris and Nikki Hilton, and Nicole Richie have in common? Yes they’re all famous and they’re never seen without a perfect tan (hey, you still should look good in your mug shot or psych ward intake photo right?)

Celebrities know all the great beauty tricks for looking younger and hiding flaws. Now you can too.

Younger looking skin

In Hollywood skin regimens, it’s all about prevention. But let’s face it, sometimes Nature has its way with our skin before we realize what’s happening. Stars like Felicity Huffman rely on super serums like Leaf & Rusher Active Serum to stave off the signs of aging. In this heavy-duty beauty product Retinol and vitamin C join forces to battle fine lines and wrinkles and boost collagen production. 

Sure, it’s their job to look good and they have plenty of help achieving their beauty goals but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t look as good as our favorite celebrities.

One tip celebrities learn early on is that beauty is achieved from the inside out and prevention is key. Going under the knife these days draws as much scrutiny as a bad beach photo showing dimpled thighs and belly fat.

Celebrity Hairstyles

Love Cameron Diaz’s whimsical locks? Or Jessica Alba’s gorgeous caramel highlights? Now you can see how you would look with your favorite celebrity’s hairstyle. Just go to http://www.instyle.com/instyle/makeover to instantly transform your “do” into a red carpet worthy coif.

So what’s in for hairstyles right now? “Textured and wavy is definitely making a comeback,” says Ann Marie Walts, Redken Artist at The LOFT in West Springfield, Mass. “So dust off your curling iron! The red carpet is a big influence in special occasion styling with a return to elegant, ‘old’ Hollywood glam.  Styles are more sophisticated and structured but soft, 1940s waves are in too. I’m also seeing a lot of lift and volume.”

You probably didn’t think science was cool growing up (unless you were one of those geeks who liked to make things explode). But according to the devoted fans of Hylexin® eye cream (actress Katherine Heigl among them), you'll be signing up for Science Club after you try it. Most of us know how hard it is to treat dark circles and that telltale morning puffiness that says, “hey look at me, I drank six dirty martinis last night and pigged out on a bag of potato chips). Hylexin is supposedly the answer to all our woes.

In all seriousness, when it comes to stores specializing in only cosmetics we are shade short of a full palette. On May 1, 2007, celebrities and tastemakers attended makeup artist Napoleon Perdis’ unveiling of his 4,000 square foot Hollywood Boulevardflagship store and his new Summer Rangecollection.

Sweat-free celebs: the secret revealed

Ever wonder how Brad Pitt manages to pull off those tight shirts in 80 degree LA weather without looking like he fell into a pool? Curious as to how Angelina Jolie is able to shake hands with hundreds of journalists while maintaining curiously dry palms? The secret might be a heavy dose of Botox. I know, I just said we’ve all heard of Botox but you may not have heard of it being used like this.

You’re not the only who’s noticed that the stars of Desperate Housewives—with the exception of the young and vibrant Eva Longoria, look better now than they did 10—even 15—years ago. Demi Moore and Heather Locklear are as gorgeous as they ever were. And we all know it’s not by sheer luck. While there’s something to say for taking care of your skin, chances are a plastic surgeon (or two) played a part in helping these stars stay looking youthful, even though they’ll deny it.

First it was healthy food; then came a push for sustainable living. Now even clothes are organic. It only makes sense that the products you put on your body are good for you too.

From shampoo to lipstick and perfume to face creams, you can now live an entirely all-natural existence (won’t you sleep better at night?)

Sure it’s winter and you’ve got the doldrums. But now’s the perfect time to sauce up your look. Spring is right around the corner and along with the vibrant looks seen on the runways, hair is getting more interesting too. Turn that Bohemian mop into a showcase of texture and volume with some bangs and layers.
