Ladies, Makeup Is Your Friend As Cameron Diaz Bravely Shows The World

Okay, we realize that Cameron Diaz posed with a very naked face in her new book to empower young women around the world to embrace their uniqueness, and to stop worrying about their looks and weight.

But, we also find a lesson in her brave, no makeup face:

Ladies---makeup is also your friend. There is nothing bad about putting a little on.

That's what we have learned. No, the pretty actress looks okay without a trace of cosmetics. But, we think she is much more attractive wearing makeup.

We think Cameron somehow looks OLDER than her 41 years without makeup on.

As a gal who grew up by those beautiful California beaches, Cameron has taken in a lot of sun, and yeah, it shows. But she is also a woman with stunning features and a slender, leggy body.

The star posted the bare-faced photo to her Instagram account Wednesday (Dec. 11). There she is smiling + hugging a copy of the book. 

"One of my proudest moments! Receiving the first bound copy of The Body Book!! @thebodybook LADIES!! I wrote this book for YOU and YOUR BODY.. And I'm so excited to share it with you!! You can pre-order it now. #loveyouramazingbody," she wrote.

So, how do we REVERSE sun damage?

Most of us have done tons of sun.

Skin experts advise doing exfoliation. You want to scrub away those dead skin cells. Try this one by Dr. Shultz:

Beauty Rx Daily Exfoliating Therapy Serum ($65). This is an excellent glycolic acid peeling serum designed to ---

Accelerate facial rejuvenation

Help prevent and control acne by unclogging pores and loosening comedones

Reduce the appearance of pore size

Remove brown spots

Diminish and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with regular use

Meantime....The Body Book by Cameron Diaz would make a nice present for the holidays.

You can find the book right here.

Uh Huh, Honey! Can A Spoonful Of Honey Really Melt Away The Pounds?

Honey. It sure is yummy. But what if we told you, that a spoonful of it, here and there throughout the course of the day could help you drop pounds. Would you believe us?

Let's put it this way....Enjoying some honey couldn't hurt, anyway.

People have been using honey for a lot of reasons since ancient times.  Greeks back then, believed that honey could extend one's life. And in pre-ancient days, Egyptians use the sweet syrup topically to heal wounds.

Modern science also shows us that honey also possesses  antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
.
But can honey melt away fat?

Nutritionist Mike McInnes claims that by eating a spoonful of  honey before bed each night, you can drop up to three pounds a week.

That's pretty amazing!

"The Honey Diet", a new book authored by McInnes, also suggests throughout the day to substitute the natural sweetener for any other sugars consumed.
.
That means cooking with it, sweetening your coffee with it, and enjoying only treats made with it.

You have to give up potatoes on the Honey Diet, along with eliminating refined carbs, and boosting your intake of proteins + veggies + fruits.

Sounds pretty easy. The book is now available at amazon.

Hey...you've got nothing to lose but 3 lbs. a week if this nutritionist is right. Plus---it tastes great!

Uh-huh, honey...as Kim + Kanye would say....

Can A Girl's Tummy Be Too Toned A La Kelly Bensimon?

We are on the fence about this one.

Working out is key. That is the only way to maintain a healthy, attractive physique. But is there a limit?

In other words, can a girl's tummy be TOO toned, a la Kelly Bensimon, the former NY housewives reality star?!

We're not sure that 45-year-old Kelly's abs look that appealing. We think her legs + arms are buff, but her mid-section appears very tight + thick. Some think Kelly's abs are TOO shredded.

On the other hand, this girl is actually 45-years-old. So she's in superb physical shape.

And it takes tons of discipline + hard work to achieve such a rock-hard body.

We think she would look softer + a bit more feminine with a rounder tummy. But if a super washboard were her goal, then she has surely hit her mark.

If you're looking to tone up your abs, we found a great, fun work-out on YouTube. Check out Ab Blaster Workout: Obliques - GetFitWithLeyla.

And DON'T worry. These exercises are pretty tame next to what Kelly Bensimon must be doing.

Forget Plastic Surgery: So Many Gorgeous, Beauty Options Available

Choice.

We all love being able to choose, and when it comes to staying pretty, times have changed in a great way. Plastic surgery is still going to be around, but maintenance is the key.

There are so many beauty options today. These procedures are non-invasive, quick to show natural-looking results, and can actually slow-www down the aging process. Plus, there isn't much downtime if any. Maintenance is all about a gentler approach.

Younger-looking skin. Who wouldn't want that? A facelift will tighten, but it can also look artificial or too pulled back, and so on. An expert in aesthetic skin care can fix those areas that a surgical facelift cannot.

If you have trouble spots, and we all get them sooner or later, injectables like Botox and fillers can come to the rescue. As long as these injectables are done conservatively and artistically, your face will appear younger, more rested and more radiant.

Maybe too much sun exposure has left you with a bunch of creases. Don't worry, Botox is like a beauty iron, so that wrinkles and frown lines around the eyes and forehead are temporarily smoothed away for 3-4 months.

Possibly a little sagging and/or lost volume are bothering you. You don't have to submit to the scalpel. More and more fillers are being introduced, so the beauty science can restore the buoyancy or fullness to the face

Fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse, are just three of the most popular volumizers that can go deep to plump up the face, or just neatly fill in the nasolabial folds or marionette lines.

Another super option involves chemical solutions applied to the skin, which cause the outer layer to peel away. Chemical Peels Newport Beach are excellent treatments that can achieve a healthier, youthful, glowing complexion. Peels can reduce brown pigmentation, even up skin tone, unclog pores and nicely improve skin clarity.

There are also a variety of laser procedures that can perfect the texture of your skin by deeply penetrating the skin's layers to remove sun-damaged skin. Fractional lasers, for instance, can amazingly reduce chicken pox scars and minimize deep acne scars.

So before you sign on the dotted line for costly plastic surgery, do your homework, and you will discover that non-invasive beauty options do exist.

Maintenance is the modern way to remain rejuvenated.

Want A VS Angel Body Like Adriana Lima? Then Get A Jump Rope!

We always thought that sexy bodies like VS angel Adriana Lima's was 99% pure genetics + good luck.'

But we must admit---that girl works her behind off in a grueling fast-moving session.

So if you want a VS angel body, then get a jump rope, NOW!

Of course, it helps if you have a super trainer by your side. In Adriana's case it is Michael Olajide, Jr. She's worked with him for 6 years now, and it REALLY shows.

"With two little girls, it can be tough to find time to go to the gym," Adriana
 told Self magazine. "Jumping rope is something I can easily do at home -- I try and squeeze it in during my daughters' naptime!"

Good for her. Jumping rope isn't just for kids. It's actually an excellent cardio movement for adults, for 3 reasons:

1. A super fat burner
2. Firms your legs nicely
3. An overall body exercise

We also love jumping rope because it's not that hard to do. You don't need much equipment. You can also do the exercise privately. Or you can jump rope with the family. Everyone can have fun and participate. You can jump rope indoors and outdoors.

Here's Adriana's work-out. And yeah....she REALLY is doing all the hard work!

Check her out here!

Don't forget---the 2013 Victoria Secret's Fashion Show will be on CBS, next Tuesday, 10PM.
