Acne Magazine : Skin Care, Tips, Treatment Reviews

Even thought some have proclaimed the “death of the supermodel”, there are still plenty of beautiful models who have made a name for themselves these days.

Heck, many former supermodels have now become moguls in their own right, with skin care and clothing lines, endorsements out the wazoo, and more money than they ever would have made strictly sticking to the runway.

Sure, there are now countless actresses who have replaced the former supermodels who graced magazines, and yes, many of those actresses have flawless skin, but there are also many models who, at any age, have have notably great skin, and those are the ones we will talk about today.

Many of the models that have flawless skin are actually Victoria’s Secret models. These models must not only have gorgeous facial skin, but they also have to take impeccable care of the skin all over their body.  God forbid they ever get a case of body acne, because their bodies are what made them famous!

Some of the Victoria’s Secret beauties that come to mind as far as great skin goes are Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima and former Angel Tyra Banks. Not only do they have bangin’ bodies, but their faces are a showcase in perfect complexions and great skin tone and bone structure.

No doubt they have stringent facial and body skin care routines, especially when their jobs rely so heavily on them baring much of their bodies and faces much of the time.  Victoria’s Secret even has a lot of body and skin care products available now for purchase, and of course they want to put their best faces forward to model the goods.

There are a ton of former quote unquote “supermodels” that had terrific complexions. The supermodels of yesteryear that still have maintained impeccable complexions even now that many of them are in their forties are a long list.

Christy Turlington for one. This olive skinned beauty strutted her stuff in the nineties and earned record money for walking the runway. Her face graced many covers of fashion and beauty magazines, and her skin was so amazing that it literally glowed with an earthen aura of health.

Linda Evangelista was more of a porcelain beauty. With her delicate facial structure and flawless porcelain skin, she also commanded a huge salary.

Elaine Erwin, now married to John Mellencamp, was another all American fresh faced beauty with a million dollar complexion.

I am a fanatical fan of the hit show Big Brother. I may have even posted some stuff on here about Big Brother cast member’s skin, who knows! It’s a great show, and has a great format that never gets old and always keeps it interesting by the personalities they choose to go into the high pressure situation of being locked away in a house with strangers for three months, with no TV, computers, or interaction with the outside world.

People’s tempers and nervousness almost always inevitably blows, and it is really a guilty pleasure to watch the mayhem unfold every year. This year is no exception with the drama that has already gone on in the house, and the low blows that have been exchanged between house guests on a few occasions. First, we had the adorable little petite blond Britney (who has perfect porcelain skin, then again, she’s very young, but she must not have any hormone issues ’cause I’ve never seen any on her face).

She dealt a blow to the outrageous, bodacious Rachel’s house love interest Brendan by calling him a neanderthal then making ape like movements making fun of him. Not too nice at all. Then, we have the latest of another cast member attacking Rachel, who is a very outspoken, fiery woman that rubs a lot of people on the show the wrong way.

Rachel is a really beautiful women, but she can rub a lot of people the wrong way because she is outspoken and has a lot of opinions and has a loud obnoxious laugh. She also happens to break out when the pressure gets intense on the show. Hey, she’s pretty much like most of us on this blog, right?

Well, one of my favorite house guests, Ragan, who’s usually kind, got a little too personal with Rachel, attacking her appearance. More specifically the zits on her chin which had appeared probably from stress. Hey man, I like you, but really, attacking someone’s appearance like that who has problems with acne isn’t cool! I know she egged him on a bit, but he went a few notches lower on the belt with his comments.

I don’t know if you’re a fan of the pop phenom show Big Brother, which is in it’s twelfth season, if that tells you anything about it’s popularity, but if you watch it, then you are very familiar with a woman on the show named Rachel. Rachel could be quite a divisive character actually.

She’s a woman who a lot of women probably love to hate because she’s got big boobs and can sometimes come off as a bit dingy and too loud, laughing and twirling her hair a lot, but she’s actually smart as a whip. She can just be sort of annoying and over the top, that’s all.

Rachel won the Las Vegas Planet beach competition, and it’s no surprise with her curvy figure and over the topness.  However, although she’s got a killer body that most women would love to have, I’ve noticed that Rachel, like so many of us (myself included) tends to break out when under stress.

When you’re on the show Big Brother, the stress of the game is notorious for not only making people freak out on the show and act totally out of character for themselves, but a lot of the women and men on there exhibit their stress by breaking out. Rachel’s skin has erupted a few times, alternating between clear and erupted, since she’s been on the show.

It’s no wonder, because she and her “shomance” Brendon, who has a perfect bod and perfect skin, have been under constant attack from the other houseguests, targeted because they are an alliance, and have had to fight tooth and nail to stay in the game. Which they have, because they keep winning POV’s and HOH (Head of HOusehold, oh boy do I sound like a dork if you don’t watch the show right now).

It just goes to show that all of our skin is susceptible to breaking out from stress. Some of us do break out more easily than others when we’re under pressure and our hormones go temporarily insane, and some of us pretty much skip right on by that huge problem.
