SKIN CARE HOLLYWOOD STYLE, STARLETS' 6 BEAUTY SECRETS 
By: Dr. Grace Angel
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.
Liberal use and abuse of grandpa's cough medicine decreases the body's ability to produce collagen and over time reduces skin's elasticity leading to wrinkles and dry, sagging skin.
2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT
This one is essential and simple. However, if you must venture into the light use a high powered, high quality sun block. "On my face and neck I use spf 45 and on the rest of my body I use spf. That way I'm protected but I can still get a nice tan," says a famous former Mickey Mouse Club diva.
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 LOTS OF CITRUS AND VEGETABLES
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. USE A NIGHT CREAM THAT CONTAINS RETINOL, VITAMIN C, & PEPTIDES
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.
