Big Hollywood stars often have a team of specialists to help them stay in good shape and health.

Actress Kate Hudson admits that soaking your face in an ice bucket really transforms your skin in just a few minutes. “If my skin is stressed or looks tired, I just dip my face in an ice bucket for as long as I can,” said the actress in an interview. Kate said this method helps her look more refreshed even after a bad night’s sleep.

Tassia: “I followed the advice of ‘very cold water’ + ‘ice cubes’ for 5 days. After each application, I felt more refreshed and noticed that my skin looked ‘fresher’. The pores also closed. Compared to other similar methods, which just run the ice over the face, this process leaves the face redder, yet the skin is visibly more hydrated.”

Conclusion: “I would do this procedure daily, even if the method of icing the face has a more immediate effect.”

To reduce swelling, accumulation of liquids in the body and lose a lot of weight, Kim Kardashian stops consuming solid foods and starts to eat only liquids or soft foods. The star shared this tip, saying that she followed the diet for a few days before the Met Gala in 2018.

Aline: “I set a limit of 1200-1500 calories a day and decided to do the experiment for 4 days. I started weighing 64 kg (1.67 m tall and 74 cm waist). After 4 hours I already wanted to give up and eat at least a small piece of bread. I found myself going back to the kitchen frequently and opening the fridge as I was hungry all the time. In the morning of the next day, I had lost 1 kg, but on the 3rd day, I gained 800 g. After the 4th day, I was 63 kg and had lost 5 cm from my waist, but this was not a noticeable difference in the mirror.”

Conclusion: “If you want to lose weight with this diet, be prepared to suffer until the end and don’t expect to have obvious results.”

In an edition of the Daily Mail, the actress said that she did not use expensive products to treat puffiness under her eyes and dark circles. She said that she only used mint leaves, and ground them into a paste and then rubbed them on her face, especially under her eyes. The effect was immediate.

olga: “Sometimes I have swelling under my eyes, but dark circles are frequent. So I decided to try the mint method to soften the color. I cut some mint leaves and added a few drops of water to make a paste, and then applied it to the area below my eyes. There is an immediate cooling effect, and then a slight tingling sensation. After removing the paste from my face, my appearance in the mirror didn’t change much, but the puffiness went down a bit. In addition, my skin felt as smooth as if I had applied cream.”

Conclusion: “The procedure is to freshen and invigorate the skin due to cooling. I didn’t notice a very visible result, but for those who have swelling, the method works better. I probably won’t use this tip in my everyday life. There are several commercial products that are more practical and have a similar effect.”

Zoë Saldaña grew up in the Dominican Republic and said that she used to use natural products to take care of her body and maintain her beauty. She has already told about her coconut water and rum recipes, which she has made since she was a little girl, to hydrate her locks. In addition, the actress also said that she uses mayonnaise-based masks to nourish her hair.

Alina: “On the first day of the experiment, I put a little mayonnaise on damp hair and, soon after, the product liquefied and started flowing like milk. After 20 minutes, after drying, I had the impression that my hair had become even drier and more brittle. It was difficult to comb. On the second day, I repeated the procedure, but I applied mayonnaise to dry hair. As before, it flowed just the same, however, the product dried and formed small hard and sticky clumps between the strands, which would break if I tried to separate them. Also, I noticed that the mask made my hair roots extremely greasy. A second wash had to be done.

Conclusion: “No wonder each product has a specific purpose. It is possible that this tip did not work on my hair, which is dyed, quite dry and porous. It might work on other hair types, but if you’re going to try it, I’d advise against doing it before going to work.”

Supermodel Heidi Klum often resorts to a sauerkraut-based diet — a delicacy consisting of a fermented cabbage preserve. For 3 days, the model follows this diet in order to purify the body. The menu is not complicated: in the morning — oatmeal on water and low-fat yogurt; for lunch — boiled potatoes and eggs, cabbage and a piece of semi-smoked ham; for dinner — cabbage and fish. If you feel hungry between meals, you can consume as much or as little cabbage as you like.

olga: “On the first day before dark, I felt very good. After dinner, however, because of the high amount of cabbage, I started to have a lot of flatulence. I had the feeling that I had become an air balloon and I was hungry all the time. On the 2nd and 3rd day, I was still very hungry and my belly was very swollen. On the morning of the fourth day, at the end of the experiment, I weighed myself and, to my surprise, I had lost 3 kg. But I gained 4 cm in my waist, probably because of the swelling in the abdomen area. A paradox!”

Conclusion: “This method is not for everyone. Visually, the body can really change, but not necessarily for the better. I won’t risk doing that again.”

Once, makeup artists taught the singer to use lip balm as a moisturizer for eyelashes. Since then, she has been using this method to take care of the image.

Before the first application vs. After 5 applications

Natalia: “I decided to alternate between a lip serum with aloe vera extract and a lip balm with essential oils for 5 days. The procedure is not pleasant at all. The first time I put the product on my lashes with a small brush and it got a little bit on my eyes which was terrible. Then I tried to apply it more carefully, but it’s still not easy: the lashes are sticky, and it’s better to close your eyes quickly and go to sleep.”

Conclusion: “I did not notice any significant effect. My lashes were thin and short, and stayed the same. Maybe 5 times wasn’t enough, but I have no desire to try again.”

Beyoncé’s makeup artist, Sir John, admitted that he sometimes uses a glue stick to better set the singer’s brows: “When it’s really hot, I prefer to use Elmer’s glue instead of an eyebrow gel. It does not clog pores and can be washed off easily.”

liana: “My eyebrows break very easily, but this strange method was quite helpful. When I applied the glue, I thought the skin would stretch when the product dried, but it didn’t. The hairs stayed in place and perfect.”

Conclusion: “I would certainly use this method again, but not often. I don’t know if the glue is harmful to the body and what would happen after a long time of constant use.”

Lady Gaga told in an interview with Porter magazine that she uses duct tape to smooth out wrinkles and tighten the shape of her face and neck: “After I shower, I put my hair back, put on my wig and ask myself: with the help from duct tape, what shape would I like my eyes to be today? How to lift the skin on the neck? Or do I leave it the natural way?”

alice: “I couldn’t stretch the skin back very far and secure with the tape. Perhaps it will work with more elastic and thinner skin or in older people. I pinned it down as best I could, and the result wasn’t bad: after stretching the neck, it was visually prettier.”

Conclusion: “Great option to make your neck smaller in a few seconds, like, for example, for a photo shoot. But I would hardly use the tape very often, as I would be worried that people would find out my secret.”

Kim Kardashian has said that she uses body oil before hitting the gym, as it helps her skin stay smooth and hydrated for longer.

Polina: “I tested the tip and I was satisfied. I rubbed the oil on my body before training, knowing that I would sweat a lot. During the workout, I didn’t feel any discomfort, and after finishing, I noticed that the skin was still soft. After taking a shower, too, I didn’t find it necessary to apply body cream as usual, as I felt that the skin was already hydrated.”

Conclusion: “Great tip, highly recommend.”

Actress Margot Robbie told in an interview with Elle magazine that she thinks that lip balms contain substances that make the skin around the lips dry and cause addiction. Therefore, she prefers to use the “Bepantol” cream, which normally has a healing function and is given to nursing mothers and young children.

Alena: “I used children’s ‘Bepantol’ to go out on the street instead of lip balm. The effect pleased me very much: the cracks on the lips began to heal faster and stopped peeling. Anyone who intends to use this product on a daily basis should be ready to feel the taste of the product in their mouth, as well as the constant feeling of having oily lips.”

Conclusion: “Perfect for anyone who has chapped or peeling skin on their lips. Looks like you can…
