Naturally, Darling: How to Steal Shailene Woodley’s Natural Beauty Tricks
Once known for her role as Amy Juergens on ABC Family‘s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Shailene Woodley recently made the jump to the big screen in blockbusters like Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars. In addition to garnering attention for her acting abilities, the stunning 22-year old has also received attention for her unconventional, natural beauty regimen that includes clay detoxes and once-monthly shampooing. From skin care to self-confidence, Woodley’s natural beauty tips will make you glow from the inside out.
Catch Some Rays
Shailene Woodley’s natural beauty regimen wouldn’t be complete without taking advantage of nature’s brightest star: the sun. While many health professionals have warned of the link between sun exposure and skin cancer, our bodies receive the majority of our daily vitamin D intake from the sun. Short-term sun exposure (around half an hour per day) and vitamin D production play a vital role in skin’s ability to retain moisture and repair skin cells. Getting some sun, as Woodley suggests, will not only boost endorphins and make you feel great, in small doses, it can improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Get a White Smile with Natural Toothpaste
It’s no surprise that all-natural beauty Shailene Woodley, who avoids artificial ingredients, opts for natural toothpaste; however, the actress goes one step further in achieving her signature white smile by making her own toothpaste. According to dentists in Red Deer at the Parkland Mall Dental Centre, many popular toothpaste brands have artificial additives or preservatives that you won’t find in natural dental products. She told GQ that she bases her recipe off of one she found on ThreeLilyFarm.com, and women wanting to try out the actress’s natural toothpaste can get the recipe here.
Love Yourself from the Inside Out
Shailene Woodley is under constant scrutiny as a rising young celebrity, and her best piece of advice to look and feel beautiful is to love yourself. Avoid unhealthy diets, stay active and accept yourself. Woodley rejects Hollywood ideals and diets, choosing instead to eat right and stay active. Try hiking or swimming to get fit like Shailene, and then cool down with nightly yoga sessions. Eating healthy (Woodley frequents farmer’s markets and forages wild foods) can help you glow from the inside out, making it even easier to accept your beautiful imperfections.
Shailene Woodley’s natural approach to beauty and her “You do you!” beauty motto is an inspiration for women everywhere. So step out in the sun and love yourself, and you’ll be smiling brighter than ever before. There are plenty of actresses who don’t go the natural route, and most attributes of their appearance are fake. In a world where we have plenty of women trying to be something they aren’t consider following a true beauty role model who knows who she is, what she wants, and what beauty really means.
