All week I'm sharing tips to look like a celebrity - even if your budget says 2 Broke Girls. From how to get that red carpet glow to banishing under eye circles, we share secrets and answer your questions with celeb beauty expert Dana Waldie of A Makeover Muse.


Part 1:  Today in my '2 Broke Girls' series - what to look for in anti-aging products PLUS an offer from beauty retailer Sindulge!

Shay:  We all want to stay younger looking. What can we do no matter what our age or budget?

Dana:  It's never too soon to start.  You want to be preventive, to preserve the skin.  It's the largest organ in the body so anything you can do helps.  Anything with vitamin A, C and E and hyaluronic acid is great for lines, plumper and filler - it's something your body naturally produces so it absorbs better.

Some anti-aging products I like:

• Prevage - bit more pricey
• SOMME Institute - great product line out of New York
• Miracle Skin Transformer Night Cream - newer product I've been testing and I'm really happy with it
• Vera Bella Skin Therapy - one of my personal favorites from a boutique spa in Beverly Hills, their products are reasonably priced

Shay:  What are these products actually doing for our skin?


Dana Waldie - A Makeover Muse

Dana:  It's going to penetrate, focus on lifting, tightening, firming, filling and plumping. Hyaluronic acid is a line plumper and filler.  Restylane, when people have injections that is actually hyaluronic acid and it's safe to use because our bodies absorb it.

Shay:  So that saves us from the needle?

Dana:  Exactly.

Shay:  Is it  really that bad to use regular soap on your face?  If so, what's best?

Dana:  Yes! It is bad. They usually contain fragrances and ingredients that strip your skin.  Burt's Bees has wonderful face washes that are affordable for every skin type.

Shay:  It's been great to get started looking like a celebrity. Red carpet, here we come!
