    Nina Dobrev's makeup-free days

    Nina Dobrev is in good company with this practice, accompanying Julia Roberts and supermodel Cindy Crawford.

    Kate Middleton's natural Botox

    The Duchess is known for her incredible style, but also for her buzzworthy facials. We’ve heard of some strange beauty rituals, but this Royal willingly subjects herself to bee venom. As soon as the skin comes into contact with the venom, it automatically reacts as though it’s been stung, causing it to firm up and plump up. Its claims to fame include helping scars heal faster, as well as helping reduce acne and improve overall texture. Of course, there is a caveat. If you are allergic to bee stings (or suspect you may be), skip this one.

    Jennifer Lopez's mindful mantra

    At 50, JLo just doesn’t seem to age.

Thinking positive: JLo began practicing positive affirmations in 2015 and regularly tells herself several times a day the following ‘I am youthful and timeless.’ We know stress can be detrimental to health, and can certainly show in our appearance.

    Halle Berry's anti-cellulite exfoliant

    This is another pro-trick you can tackle from your kitchen cabinets. Halle’s secret for flawless skin? Purportedly she uses coffee grounds as an exfoliant by adding them to her body wash. The grounds have a dual effect of clearing off dead skin cells while also helping prevent cellulite (the caffeine increases blood flow and circulation to the skin and can help with the retention of water). If you’re not a coffee drinker, just pop by your neighbourhood shop with a tupperware container, and kindly ask them to share their discarded grounds. One thing to keep in mind, it may cause some staining to your tub or shower, depending on its material.

    No need to have a cosmetic procedure: Certain natural ingredients act as natural pout-plumping agents.

    Catherine Zeta-Jones's lustrous locks

    Aside from her spotless smile, this timeless stunner’s luscious locks hold this brewing secret: beer. Yes, Catherine credits her hair’s health and shine to the bevvy. Full of vitamin B and amino acids, beer helps prevent hair from falling out, while its alcohol content helps remove buildup. The vitamin B also control your scalp’s oil production while the yeast also has purported benefits. The acidic pH also helps add shine because it forces the hair scales to shut. This rinse hack is also our editor-approved.
