Ilesha Haywood, from The Paramedical Skin Clinic understands the importance of clear healthy skin, especially for celebrities! Her clients involve Aussie superstar Dannii Minogue, actress Kimberley Davies and TV presenters and actresses Livinia Nixon, Suzie Wilks and Tania Zaetta, and for this reason Ilesha’s been give the title ‘Celebrity Skin Guru’. Ilesha shares with us the top five secret weapons celebrities use to achieve radiant skin:
1. The use of a Clarisonic face-cleaning machine every day to remove make up. A Clarisonic brush can remove six-times more make-up and two-times more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone, and celebrities like Dannii Minogue use this technique daily. Manual cleansing can leave behind a build-up of dirt and oil trapped in the pores, but the Clarisonic brush removes these impurities, making it a favourite of the celebrities we treat.

RRP $249 available from David Jones, Myer, AdoreBeauty.com.au and leading pharmacies.
2. Exfoliate, exfoliate. While many people think exfoliation should only be a once weekly part of their skin care routine, celebrities know that it should be done daily to achieve a glowing complexion. A microdermabrasion scrub is the product of choice for celebrities to keep their skin smooth and polished.

RRP $19.95 available from Priceline and Coles.
3. Daily use of Vitamin C. Many celebrities use Vitamin C topically every day, because long-term use reflects harmful UV light, and the process of making new collagen requires Vitamin C to form the collagen fibres. The loss of collagen leads to wrinkles and aging, so Vitamin C can assist in the prevention of wrinkle formation.

4. The use of a loofah in the shower every day when washing your body to improve blood circulation to areas such as the bottom, outer and inner thighs, and arms to help prevent sagging skin and cellulite. While we all get cellulite, celebrities know that they can delay the process by using a simple loofah daily to increase circulation.

5. Apply a simple hand cream with an SPF every day to prevent unsightly sunspots, like Dannii Minogue.
