SKIN CARE HOLLYWOOD STYLE, STARLETS' 6 BEAUTY SECRETS

1. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL

Alcohol despite its bubbly pleasures causes dehydration and skin damage. "You may as well spend a week at the beach in the sun without sunscreen if you go to sleep after a drinking bender without properly protecting your skin," suggests a High School Musical diva.

If you abuse grandma's cough syrup you will pay the price. Alcohol impairs your skin's ability to produce collagen and will, in the long run, reduce skin elasticity leading to dry, saggy, wrinkled skin.

2. LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO THE SUN

This is just good common sense. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high spf sun protectant. "I use spf 50 on my neck and face; however, I do recommend spf 35 on your body. Doing this protects my vulnerable skin, but allows me to develop a nice brownish tan everywhere else," suggests a former Mickey Mouse club member.

3. AVOID COFFEE

A natural diuretic, coffee causes the body to void needed liquids and amino acids. A "Lord-lovin" country music diva agrees, "Drinking too much coffee stains my teeth, gives me yucky coffee breath, and causes the little wrinkles around my eyes to look so horrible, like big nasty crow's feet."

4. EAT PLENTY OF VEGETABLES & CITRUS

Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain antioxidants essential to skin health. Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits contain vitamin C, which boosts the skin's collagen production increasing skin elasticity and firmness.

5. DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER

"Drinking water is one the most important things you can do for your skin. I drink ten glasses religiously now. Years ago, when I didn't I noticed my skin would dry out, become gray and dull, and look vapid."

6. APPLY A NIGHT CREAM WITH PROVEN AGE FIGHTING COMPOUNDS

Using a night cream is the simplest yet most necessary part of your beauty routine. Choose a night cream with proven age-fighters like vitamin C, peptides, and retinol. These compounds applied at night will reduce the effect of aging and the environment on your skin. "Young men always approach me at clubs and at the gym thinking I'm 25. My night cream has allowed me to maintain my youthful skin. These boys obviously haven't seen my movies from the early 1980's and would never guess that I'm actually 45," chuckles a member of Hollywood's brat pack, who chose, astutely, to remain anonymous.
