A new treatment for cellulite … so long dimples
Supermodel Marisa Miller
I apparently missed this bit of information, but Marisa Miller, who is ranked No. 1 on Maxim magazine’s “Hot 100″ list, announced ”We all have cellulite!”
Miller is also a Sports Illustrated model and Victoria’s Secret angel, so perhaps that announcement carries some weight in reminding all women that even supermodels don’t have perfect bodies. In fact, Miller admits to using creams, massages, gels and self-tanners to cover up her troubled areas for photo shoots and runway appearances.
Here’s another option (you knew there had to be a reason for this post, didn’t you?) … a new treatment called SmoothShapes, available nationwide. The treatment uses Photomology, which combines laser, vacuum suction and rollers to address the cause of cellulite — brittle fibrous septae and engorged fat cells.
SmoothShapes also remodels collagen, so skin is smoother and tighter, according to a press release. Check out this before and after picture.
Kate Hudson … her hairstyle and hair products
Actress Kate Hudsdon
Plenty of women are envious of actress Kate Hudson’s soft waves and slightly disheveled hair. No need to be jealous anymore.
Maybe she owes it all to the products she uses. Hudson’s haircare line is David Babaii for WildAid. In 2007 Hollywood hairstylist Babaii created his own haircare line with Kate Hudson to promote WildAid’s conservation efforts.
The products are an exclusive blend of exotic natural ingredients free of sulfates, parabens, animal products and animal testing. A percentage of sales goes to WildAid. The hair care line is eco-friendly and cruelty free.
Products cost $12.99 or less and are available at SallyBeauty.com.
Babaii shares these tips and productsto get Hudson’s sexy beach waves:
1. Wash with Amplifying Shampoo and Conditioner, named Best Green Hair Care in InStyle magazine’s 2009 Best Beauty Buys.
2. Spray your whole head with Bohemian Beach Spray, a finalist in the CEW 2009 Beauty Insiders Choice Awards. (Winners will be announced May 1.)
3. Scrunch or twist sections before drying or allowing to air dry.
4. To set it all in place, lightly spray your hair with Mise en Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray, which New Beauty magazine named a 2009 Reader’s Favorite.
