CONNIE FERGUSON
Connie Ferguson is an actress, producer, TV mogul, mom of two and even a grandmother. She’s been on our TV screens for more than two decades, and has always looked picture perfect! The 49-year-old’s beauty never fades and she has a perennially youthful glow. What keeps her looking so radiant, for so long? Well, she’s very active and has an exercise routine which includes weight training, intense cardio and boxing. Connie credits her amazing body to her strict workout routine.
PRIYANKA CHOPRA
You’d think the stars only use unattainably expensive skin products. Not at all. Actress Priyanka Chopra 37, has loads of family beauty secrets that have been handed down to her from one generation to the next. One of them is a skin-brightening face mask. She mixes about 2 tablespoons of yoghurt, oatmeal and turmeric powder to form a paste and applies to her face as a mask. She then leaves if for half an hour and washes off with lukewarm water. For plump lips, she creates a natural scrub by mixing sea salt, a few drops of pure glycerine and a bit of rose water. This concoction is a great exfoliant for your lips and leaves them smoother and plumper.
DEMI MOORE
In her quest for long-lasting beauty, 57-year-old actress Demi Moore has admitted to using a procedure called leech therapy, where leeches are applied all over your body, and they suck your blood to detoxify it. But her real beauty secret is thoroughly moisturising on a regular basis. She believes in good skincare and taking time to clean her face and moisturise, no matter how tired she might be in the evening.
KIM KARDASHIAN
Kim wears so many hats we can’t even keep up. She’s a businesswoman, TV personality, beauty and fashion icon and mom of four kids. Beauty is the essence of her brand and she has been in the make-up business for a good couple of years now. Kim always looks pristine whenever she goes out or shares a picture on social media. What’s her beauty secret? One of them is sugar in her body wash. Sugar is a natural exfoliator that helps get rid of blackheads and makes the skin glow.
ALICIA KEYS
Alicia made one of her biggest beauty decisions a few years ago, when she decided to never wear make-up again. She embarked on a self-care journey and embraced her natural beauty. She’s rocking her newfound naturalness and her complexion is looking luminous.
ZURAIDA JARDINE
Jet Club cover star Zuraida Jardine seems to be ageing backwards. The mom of two, radio DJ and speaker still looks as stunning as when she started her radio career at Good Hope FM in 1997. Although Zuraida leads a busy life with a hectic schedule, she emphasises the importance of a proper skincare routine. When she moisturises her skin, she massages in the product with a gentle circular motion which boosts circulation and increases blood flow for a plump youthful complexion.
LALA ANTHONY
Believe it or not, baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) is one of Lala Anthony’s beauty secrets. She suffers from psoriasis but doesn’t let that get in the way of achieving a silky-smooth skin and glowing complexion. Lala combines a tablespoon of baking soda with water to make a paste, then massages it into her skin for gentle exfoliation, then rinses off. Baking soda is great for scrubbing your skin and helps boost and brighten your complexion.
