Actress Gwyneth Paltrow stole a few hearts when she performed a duet with Huey Lewis singing one of Smokey Robinson's greatest hits, "Cruisin" and she captured souls with her "Just My Imagination" duet with R&B singer Babyface.
The 36 year old blonde beauty recently took to her website goop.com, which is dedicated to health and "nourishing the inner aspect," to share a few words of wisdom and beauty secrets using products that can be found in your own kitchen cabinets.
She writes: "Today I bring you some tips and wisdom from the people who trick you all into thinking I am a semi-presentable woman.
"The first thing is to find acceptance when you look in the mirror. The mind wants to focus on flaws. Ease it into remembering the beauty of who you are."
At Home Treatments
"I love Epsom salt baths to detox, revive muscles and de-puff skin. While in the bath, I use an exfoliating mitt (the kind used in Korean bath houses – you can get them at beauty supply stores, Asian markets or health food stores). The exfoliation stimulates skin and leaves it soft and bump-free. After the bath, I slather my skin with extra virgin organic coconut oil. It is sold in jars at health food stores and literally melts on your skin."
Body Scrub
1) Mix Turbinado sugar, olive oil and coursely ground coffee to soften and cleanse pores.
2) Oatmeal and honey also work as a scrub to soften skin.
3) Aloe vera juice will reduce the redness of razor burn, irritations and some rashes.
Other Skin Treatments
To reduce the puffiness of morning eyes, place either a chilled spoon (keep in freezer) on the eye area or soak cotton pads with milk and rest on the eye area.
Also, help prevent wrinkles around the mouth with daily facial exercises. Pull exaggerated “O” and “E” (as if you were saying “Eeeee…”) shapes with your mouth for 30 seconds. Purse lips right, center, and left and hold each movement for 30 seconds. Repeat. Stick your tongue out as far as you can while keeping your eyes wide.
Tension in the face and jaw can make us look older and “mean.” These exercises relax and restore facial integrity.
