Models (even actors) take care of your skin

Models (even Actors), if you want to stay in the entertainment AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,
you must take care of your looks...especially your skin & smile!

When most people think of models, they think of youth. This comes as no surprise, as statistics show the average runway model is between the ages of 17 and 19. Though it can certainly be more challenging to attain work as a model over the age of 40, you can improve your chances by maintaining your body and SKIN and marketing yourself properly.

I know a lot people don't like the fact that models are pressured to take care of themselves and go through different treatments to stay young. But it is the model's choice to do whatever necessary to continue to look young. Think about it...they can do whatever necessary to maintain their appearance and stay in the industry for longer. Or they can choose to age gracefully and risk getting less jobs as there are ALWAYS younger people stepping into the industry, taking place of those who age. IT SUCKS but it is, what it is.

Below are some tips that I'm hoping can help. Unfortunately, those who genetically have bad skin (such as I) we can do the following below and just pray! LOL

    Healthy Habits and Choices

  • To maintain the skin they were born with, some models turn to time-tested beauty techniques. While completely flawless skin is not a strict prerequisite in modeling, it is certainly a plus. Getting enough sleep, drinking a healthy dose of water daily, eating wholesome foods, exercising and not ingesting toxic substances may not be enough to give some individuals clear and glowing skin. However, these practices contribute to skin that appears more attractive than if it were abused and taken for granted. A beauty regimen that allows the skin to flourish is helpful as well. By remembering to wash their makeup off at night in order to allow skin to breathe and rejuvenate itself during bedtime, models do their skin a favor. Moisturizing and applying sun protection prior to stepping out in the daytime maintains the skin's youthfulness and shields it from the elements that models are sometimes exposed to on location. While it is true that models have access to better products in the beauty industry as compared to most, it is not necessary to use the same pricey skin care products that they do in order to have radiant skin. Drugstores and beauty brands that sell their products through representatives offer a wide range of affordable skin care items that many consumers have found effective.

    Insider Secrets

  • Due to the importance of beauty in their line of work, models are constantly informed of the latest spa offerings and treatments that specifically target the skin. While these are not exclusively available to the rich and famous, the cost to get pampered in these ways is more often than not out of the price range of the average individual. These beauty procedures administered by professionals can be identified by such names as "oxygen facials," "hyaluronic treatments" and "microdermabrasion." A model who indulges in the party lifestyle may choose to book regular sessions with skin experts not only because she can afford to, but because home remedies may not be potent enough to repair the damage inflicted on her skin by years of smoking and frequent drinking. If she wishes to continue working as a model, she may favor these therapies above others. They work quickly to prevent her from looking older than she really is.

    Faking It

  • What appears to be perfect skin is not always the case with models, so the average woman need not be hard on herself for having an uneven skin tone and undereye circles. The highly evident golden glow on a model in beauty magazines, for instance, is either the work of a makeup artist or courtesy of airbrushing . If a model shows up at a shoot with a pimple, it is expertly concealed by a professional and later edited out of the picture. However, photographers and casting directors do not like working with models that have bad skin because editing the photos and commercials are time consuming.

The Top 5 Reasons Why You Need a Publicist!

Reason #1: You Need Exposure.
In order to sell something, the public needs to know about it. You have something that you are certain that the rest of the public needs to know about and there is no better way to spread the word about you or your product than with public relations. The amount of encouraging attention that a magazine interview or news article gets cannot compare to that of an advertisement. There is an extra sense of authority when people hear about something from a TV show or radio show. It is notably influential. Although both ads and PR are effective and necessary to properly market you or your product, you really cannot do with public relations. PR efforts can expose you to all kinds of media. With the proper publicist, you will get the chance to tell the world whatever you think they should know, in the most effectual manner. For example, a band can land a radio interview on a hot morning show and discuss about the importance of the message behind their new album. A chef can be featured in a trade magazine and get the chance to tell the public about his new television program. The public’s interest is instantaneously provoked.


Reason #2: Advertising Costs Too Much
Advertisements are influential, important and necessary. Although advertising can be an excellent way to tell the public about why they need your product, it does not come without a significant price. Even ads in local magazines can cost thousands of dollars. Plus, since the public knows that the ads are coming straight from the business, they lose their reliability. Through the use of quality public relation efforts, a publicist can reach the public for a small fraction of the cost of an ad. Considering the cost and credibility factor, PR is much more cost-effective and efficient.


Reason #3: You Can't Do it Yourself, There's No Time!
There are a million things to do before one can achieve true success. Public relations are very time consuming. There are many words to speak, sentences to write and ideas to generate. Very few people have the time to handle an effective PR campaign, market their product and conduct “business as usual.” A publicist can take your mind off of the promotional aspects so that you can do whatever it is that you do best.


Reason #4: What is a Media Kit? I Don't Have a Clue!
Do you know how to pitch a producer? Very few people know what they need to do to successfully launch a powerful PR campaign. The time spent on learning every procedure, tactic and secret in addition to the probability of failing is not worth the money you save being your own publicist. Sure, anyone can write their own press release… but do they know all the rules? Do they understand the proper format? Do they know the tricks of the trade? Can they come up with an effective angle? Publicists can see things from a different point of view—and not just from the company’s perspective. It is vital to try and see everything from the public’s standpoint.


Reason #5: Adds Credibility.
“Have your people contact my people.”
Believe it or not, having a publicist on staff boosts your credibility. This is basically for two reasons. First, it shows that you are serious about your product. If you did not believe it could be a success, you would not hire someone and pay for them to tell the world about it. Second, it makes you look and feel important, which in turn gives you the confidence you need to thrive.
