Celeb Beauty Picks for Your 20s, 30s, and 40s

Celeb Beauty Picks


When you are a celebrity, money and accessibility to the latest and greatest beauty products and treatments are not a problem -- the world is your medicine cabinet. So what do A-listers choose as their go-to holy grail products? I did a little research, and matched up four major super stars in their 20s, 30s, and 40s and their choice beauty products.


20s: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The girls use Sanitas for skin care, but Ashley is a "die-hard" Biologique Recherché fan, and uses their cleansers and creams. They also love coconut oil for its multipurpose quality. For eyebrows, the girls just use a little Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel, and when they have dry lips they grab Brave Soldier's Lip Defender. For hair care, Mary-kate and Ashley use the Reparatives line from Frederic Fekkai.

30s: Jessica Alba

Jessica is a mom, and all about no fuss makeup that she can apply while holding a baby in one arm, (one of the many reasons why I love her).  When she is able to, Jessica opts to go foundation-free, and prefers to spot conceal her blemishes with RMS Un-cover Up,  a beauty blog community cult favorite. She also believes in curling her eyelashes, and applying a couple swipes of Revlon's Double Twist mascara to brighten up her tired mommy eyes.

 For skin care, Jessica swears by Yonka's Cleansing Lotion and Dr. Hauschka's Toned Day Cream. She also likes to use Koh Gen Do sheet masks on long flights. Her go-to daytime fragrance is Un Jardin by Hermes for its crisp and floral notes. 

Jessica's most notable beauty secret is Eucalyptus oil! I am no stranger to this fragrant essential oil -- my mom brought me up using eucalyptus oil or Dau Khuynh Diep. When I was sick, my mom would rub it on my chest; or she would rub a mixture of eucalyptus oil with salt on my sprained ankle before wrapping me up. Jessica likes to add a couple drops to a bath when her or her kids are sick. 

 40s: Lucy Liu

 Lucy Liu has a minimalist approach to her skin care and beauty routine. She even claims to not always put on SPF. (GASP!) However, she also says she stays out of the sun. She swears by Aquaphor and uses it for everything. For hair care, Lucy likes Dr. Bonner's Castille Soap, as well as and Melu and Davine's.

Manomai: Skin Care Based on Your Blood Type

Image
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?  That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.  I came across Manomai  when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.  Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines:  pareben-free,   mineral oil-free,  fragrance free,  cruelty-free, and  artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the  blood types  -- the Around-the-Clock

Differin Gel: What I Wish My Dermatologist Would Have Told Me...

Image
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’  -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive,  burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work? Differin gel/adapalene is a type of synthetic retinoid. It is one of the mildest forms available. Retinoids help your skin slough off (or  desquamate ) dead skin cells at a more normal rate. Sloughing aka exfoliating your dead skin cells is beneficial in that the dead skin cells don't bind together and clog your pores. When your pores aka oil ducts are clogged, you get acne!

My Current Skincare Routine

Image
My skin has been terrible, and when I get breakouts, they are scarring, painful cystic acne blowouts that I would get on my chin and on the sides of my nose. They generally occur with my monthly period, or just after. I am not one to pick them because when I did the scarring would be even worse. I was courageous enough to let my cystic acne take its course, but it made me never want to leave the house. If you have read my Adapalene post from a year ago, you will know that my first dermatologist prescribed me that one cream, gave me zero directions, and sent me on my way. Not surprising my face never cleared up. Instead, I still had acne, my skin got flaky, peely, dry, irritated, and just plain terrible. I really resent my first dermatologist for doing that to me. So, I stopped using Adapalene, and began trying a bunch of over-the-counter acne treatments, from Paula's Choice to natural, organic brands with salicylic acid and tea tree oils, and the whole gamb
