Extra virgin olive oil
Liquid vitamin C
Washcloths

Steps
Step 1 Exfoliate your skin with a mixture of sugar and extra virgin olive oil. That's how Christie Brinkley stays so youthful; it's like giving yourself a mini microdermabrasion.
Jessical Biel adds sugar to her regular cleanser when she wants to slough away dead skin.
Step 2 Nourish your skin the way Nicky Hilton does: Massage vitamin C into your face. You can buy it in liquid form in health food stores.
Step 3 Keep your washcloths in the fridge so they're nice and cold when you use them; supermodel Rachel Hunter has said she learned this trick in Japan. It reduces redness and swelling, makes pores appear smaller, gets rid of puffy eyes, and gives your complexion a healthy pink glow.
Step 4 Moisturize like Shania Twain: She finds there's nothing like Bag Balm – an ointment made to soften a cow's udder for milking – to make her complexion silky.
Step 5 Smooth your skin with honey: TV host and former model Padma Lakshmi washes her face, then slathers on the sticky stuff in the shower.She swears it acts as a smoothening agent. Catherine Zeta-Jones uses honey for the same reason.
Step 6 Remove your makeup with petroleum jelly; that's how Jennifer Lopez cleans and moisturizes her face at the same time.For an environmentally friendly option, look for plant-based un-petroleum jelly.
Sixty-one percent of women polled would most want to swap hair, makeup, and accessory tips with Jennifer Aniston.
