WHAT’S HER SECRET?
Helen Mirren
Rosehip Oil Smooths Wrinkles Eye creases, crepey skin around the cheeks and lines on the forehead added years to the Queen star’s face back in 2015. “The sun’s UV rays break down skin-firming collagen and elastin fibers, which we have less of as we age, causing skin to become slack and wrinkly from brow to chin,” says New York City dermatologist Kally Papantoniou, M.D. Her fix for smoother skin like Helen has now? Rosehip oil. Derived from the flower’s seed, the oil’s fatty acids moisturize and plump skin while its vitamin A increases collagen and elastin production to reveal a more taut, radiant complexion. Simply rub 2 drops of oil (we like Aura Cacia Organic Rosehip Skin Care Oil, $14, auracacia.com) onto the face twice a day for results in 30 days.
Salma Hayek
Avocado Boosts Shine The Frida star deals with the same aging woe we all do: straw-like strands that leave hair and skin looking lackluster. “As we age, the hair’s natural store of conditioning oils gets depleted,” says
Pro Beauty Tools hairstylist Johnny Lavoy, who’s worked with Andie MacDowell and Cindy Crawford. Add years of sun exposure and heat styling to the mix and we’re left with dry, brittle locks. Lavoy’s solution? A leave-in spray infused with avocado oil (like Infusium Moisturize + Replenish Leave-In Treatment, $6, walmart.com). The oil’s omega-3 fatty acids do a double antiaging duty: They moisturize strands to restore shine and that shine reflects onto the face for a youthful glow. For fast results, spritz onto hair (wet or dry) from the ears down three times a week.
Melissa Leo
This Trick Masks Dark Circles The reason the Emmy Award winner appeared older at 54 than she does at 56? Dark under-eye shadows left her eyes looking droopy and tired. To turn back the clock like Melissa did, celebrity makeup artist Brandie Hopstein, who’s worked with Paula Abdul and Anna Kendrick, recommends using a rose-toned concealer. “The red-tinged cream cancels out any brown tones in skin for a youthful, bright-eyed effect.” And with the right application, the cream can also give the look of an eye lift.
To do: Dot a rosy concealer (we like Maybelline Instant
Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Brightener, $9, ulta.com) under eyes in an inverted triangle and blend out with a makeup sponge. Then finish with a light layer of your normal concealer on top and blend.
