Beauty Secrets of a Style Icon Legend… Audrey Hepburn

Monday, June 28th, 2010

beauty-blog-audrey-hepburn-beauty-therapyHi all,

For years I have this obsession about one particular lady…. One of the classic beauties!I’m sure all I have to do is mention “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and you will know exactly who I am talking about…

Yes… It is AUDREY HEPBURN.!!!!!This woman’s style has continued to be copied for years and I have come across some of her beauty tips and felt compledto share them with you all and bring our beauty back to basics. ’What would Audrey do?’Would Audrey share her beauty secrets?
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone”

Audrey believed in massage three times a week. She also knew she felt and looked better when she got enough sleep! she also liked taking hot baths to relax.

audrey-hepburn-beauty-blog-beauty-tips1She ate a variety of foods, not the same old thing, {and not pasta three times a day}, And if needed she took vitamin C and multivitamins, especially in the winter.”I eat healthy food, not health food….. fresh fruits and vegetables and selection of meats.” But on the other hand , she didn’t believe in any rigid rules, You have to be as relaxed as possible about food and fitness and the rest of it, or you will be a slave to your beauty habits……. Would Audrey get regular manicures and pedicures? Yes… Audrey had beautiful hands, and favoured clear , natural~lookingnail polish ~ never colour. When money was tight, she would have done it herself or her mother could have given her one. While struggling in London after WW2 , the baroness worked as a manicurist. Keep posted for further Audrey Tips……

Mmmmmmm….. love scrumptious hands!!!

The heat of washing up water is almost as effective at helping the cream penetrate as those heated mitts!
