THE BEAUTY HACKS OF CELEBS
Here are the beauty hacks that you should never try, the beauty hacks when it comes to packing your toiletry bag (handy when you go on vacation) and the beauty hacks that help you get through the summer very easily. But if you've ever wondered what the secrets are of your favorite celebrities, they also have a few tips and tricks they swear by. So, from the perfect ombre effect of Zoë Saldana to the crazy actions of Gwyneth Paltrow; here are the beauty hacks that some of the biggest names in Hollywood swear by.
Gigi Hadid
‘The beauty tip I always use and learned from my mother is that when I notice I'm getting a pimple, I should put toothpaste on it. I apply it before I go to bed. Then I take a small piece of toilet paper, wet it, put it on top, and tear off the excess paper around it. It dries a bit, like papier-mâché, and keeps the toothpaste in place. In the morning, just dab it with a wet towel and it all comes off.’
Margot Robbie
‘I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple cream for mothers who are breastfeeding or used for diaper rash in babies. I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms have additives that actually dry out your lips and make you keep buying them. But since Bepanthen is just cream for dry skin, it works. I've been using it my whole life.’
Gwyneth Paltrow
‘I let myself get stung by bees. It's an ancient treatment called apitherapy. People use it to get rid of inflammation and scars. It's quite remarkable if you look it up, but man, does it hurt.’
Zoë Saldana
‘On the islands, rum is not only used for drinking, they even use it for hair. If you put it on the tips of your hair, you get a sort of ombre effect, because the combination of sun and rum bleaches it. It's a kind of natural way to get highlights in your hair.’
Lauren Conrad
‘If you have a puffy face, cut a chilled potato into a few slices, let them soak in water for a few seconds, and then place them on your eyes for about fifteen minutes. Works like a charm.’
‘To make sure I wake up and my skin gets a boost, I dip my head in a bowl of ice. It's like taking a cold plunge with your face.’
Suki Waterhouse
‘I sometimes wash my hair with Coca-Cola. I don't like my hair when it's just washed, it's too limp then, but Coca-Cola makes it look a bit messier. Like I've just ridden through the Amazon.’
Kim Kardashian
‘I apply body oil all over my body because I was once told that if you put this on before exercising, your skin becomes very tight and you won't get wrinkles.’
Whether it actually works well and is good for you, well, that's up for debate, but it’s worth a shot.
