Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Beauty on Goop.com
Beauty advice from a beauty.
Gwyneth Paltrow's website, Goop.com, has been a bit controversial from the start. But isn't it hard to ignore beauty advice that's coming from someone so beautiful?
Gwyneth says she started Goop.com because, “I felt like I had a lot of really useful information that I was privileged enough to get, because I have this amazing, super, fortunate life.” So, some of her advice is a bit too privileged, pushing stuff that the average folk could never afford, but since she's such a beauty herself, we figured we'd listen to some of her beauty advice. Plus, she knows some pretty big names when it comes to beauty. Here's beauty advice that people like us can use.
Celebrity makeup artist Patty Prema Dubroff's best advice:
- Oatmeal and honey can work as a scrub to soften skin.
- To reduce the puffiness of morning eyes, place either a chilled spoon on the eye area or soak cotton pads with milk and rest on the eye area.
Celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh's best advice:
- Spray dry shampoo on your roots and greasy parts of your hair if you wake up without time to shower.
- Use a half cup of olive oil on your hair to get rid of frizziness. Keep olive oil on hair as long as possible and go out in the sun if possible (the heat makes it more effective). Wash it out and your hair will be much softer.
Men's artist Cheri Keating's best advice for men:
- For a more awake appearance use YSL L’homme Radiant Touch for Men. It’s a moisturizer for under the eyes with the slightest hint of color to subtly brighten the area.
- For men who experience bumps after shaving, try exfoliating with a gentle scrub prior to shaving with hot/warm water. Also, try using a conditioner instead of shaving cream
Take from it what you will, but it can't be said that Gwyneth doesn't offer anything of use on Goop.com. She's got friends in high places and knows a thing or two herself.
