At 39, Catherine Zeta Jones is considered one of the most beautiful female stars in Hollywood and, what’s most important, she’s a natural beauty, as reports have it that she has had no plastic surgery whatsoever. From what she has revealed in a recent interview, it could just be that she’s also getting a helping hand from nature herself, as the actress has admitted to being a fan of old wives’ treatments that make her as beautiful as she is.

Catherine Zeta Jones says that we should pay heed to whatever we hear from our mothers, about how we can preserve our youthful appearance, because, most often than not, it’s true. She, for one, admits to brushing her teeth after a meal either with an apple or a strawberry, which not only make any embarrassing moments unlikely to happen, but also help the teeth be healthier, whiter and more beautiful.

“I love to eat an apple after a meal, just to cleanse my teeth – a[s] they always look polished afterwards.” the actress points out. However, if no apple is at hand, other fruits would do the trick just fine as well. “The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid, which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains. Pineapples work the same way.” Catherine explains.

As for her long, great-looking hair, it’s not all in the cosmetic products she uses, the actress reveals, but in beer. So, CZJ uses a mixture of beer and honey to restore health and shine to her mane, something she would strongly recommend to anyone whose hair has been through a lot – such as is her case. “I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards, but it’s very good for the hair.” Catherine adds.

And this is not all. The stunner also states that, no matter what exfoliating beauty products we may purchase in stores, nothing beats some natural exfoliating with honey and salt. Awesome results are guaranteed, she unveils. “I rub a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturize and exfoliate. You wash it off and your skin is gorgeous.” Catherine clarifies.
