An Older Star's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                           Soften Your Lips This Winter! 

Jennifer Lopez, aka J Lo, is all over the place.
She's promoting her new movie- "The Boy Next Door" 
Ms. Lopez like a lot of older men in Hollywood have to keep 
themselves in tip-top shape if they plan on having long careers
and doing love scenes with co-stars who are 20 to 25 yrs. younger.
And by keeping in shape, we mean everything--hair, legs, stomach,
complexions and lips.

Lips?
Yes, if a star plans on being a leading man or woman well into 
their 50's and 60's, lips being in tip-top shape is a must.
And now that it's Winter, lips really take a beating. Why?
Fewer oil glands, which makes it impossible for them to
moisturize themselves.

So, if you want to be like Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp
and keep your lips in great shape, do the following...
a) Homemade Moisturizer-
Mix some sugar, (brown or natural) with a little oil,
(almond or olive) and a few drops of vanilla extract
in a bowl. Dampen your lips a little and gently rub this
mixture over your lips, wait a few minutes and then put a little olive oil
or vaseline on as moisturizer.
Or save some time and money, and place some toothpaste
or baking soda on your toothbrush and go over your lips
for 20 to 30 secs.
Or if you don't mind spending money (like J Lo)
go online to drugstore.com and look for a product 

called-Smith's Rosebud Salve. It contains oils that seal
in moisture and create a layer of protection between your lips
and outdoor temperatures and the dry indoor air.
That's it- another tip to help you look your best this Winter season.

feet, nails and body this Winter season...

Good Luck!

Bethenny's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                       Soft Kissable Lips!

If you watched Bethenny today you were treated to a
dining fest. Bethenny made breakfast treats that were lower in calories.
One of those treats was a smoothie made with strawberries.
And since we're nearing the warmer months, strawberries will be in
abundance.

If you're a fan of just eating them, why not use them to soften your lips.
Softer lips? Yes, use the following lip mask and really show off
your lips this Spring season.
Cut a strawberry  in half and dip it in some
brown or turbinado sugar.
Massage the scrub over your lips and wipe off with a damp tissue.
Finish up by appling your moisturizer, (olive oil or vaseline).
Do this twice a week, any more and you risk wearing away too much
skin on your lips.

Strawberries are rich in Salicylic acid, which helps remove dead skin
cells, plus the seeds gently buff your lips to a smooth texture.
Or if you want a lip buffer already-made look for one called-Bella II Fiore
Strawberries & Cream Sugar Kisses Lip Scrub. online at BellaBeauty.net.

Another tip: Strawberries can also be used to whiten teeth.
That's right- It's rumored that Jessica Simpson uses strawberries this
way. Cut one in half and wipe over your teeth.

And lastly, look for Organic strawberries whenever possible.
Strawberries have been named as one of the top foods that contain
a ton of pesticides due to their soft, outer exterior.
Oh and don't forget to check out Bethenny's new book...
Skinny Girl Comfort Foods.

Good Luck!
