How To Get an Oscar Worthy Glow

Hollywood’s leading ladies such as Zoe Saldana and Demi Moore stepped onto the red carpet at Oscars 2010 looking gorgeous and glowing from head to toe, showing no signs that they have been effected by the winter weather that has left the rest of us and our skin in need of rescue.

In an easy 4 steps, anti-aging skin care specialist Dr. Adrienne Denese gives you the answer to how celebs shed the dry, dull skin of winter and how you too can achieve the same red carpet radiance!

How-to achieve radiant skin by Anti-aging Expert Dr. Adrienne Denese:

STEP 1: EXFOLIATE

It is important to get rid of dead skin cells; they are what make your skin look dead and old.  They have a rough texture so they block out skin’s natural radiance and that natural glow. If you self tan, you need a freshly exfoliated canvas. Otherwise the self tan will come out to be blotchy. This applies for face and body alike. Product Suggestion: Dr. Denese Damage Reversal Pads, $45 (60 pads)

Michael Todd Cosmetics KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex

Just tried and loved Michael Todd Cosmetics KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex moisturizer, $130. It is THE perfect moisturizer for the cold and dry winter months because it is thick and super hydrating. Did you know that this cream has a high concentration of purified snail secretion? According to the Michael Todd website scientists have concluded that this same substance can aid many human skin disorders because of its regenerative properties. Who knew? I’m an Escargot fan, that means I eat snails. Really, I love Escargot. Does this also mean it’s good for me? Food for thought for sure. Nevertheless, my first reaction to KNU Anti-Aging Tri Complex was: “WOW”.
