If you saw Precious, you were probably in awe of the amazing performances by everyone in the film. Gut wrenching, hard to watch and staggering only begin to describe Mo'Nique's performance. The normally adorable Mo'Nique was transformed into a rough mother who was stuck playing the only hand in life she ever knew and gave audiences the performance of a lifetime.
Perhaps because the film was fresh in my mind, I had been thinking of Mo'Nique from the movie. But when she stepped out on to that rainy, red carpet this past Sunday, she literally took my breath away. She is clearly so happy to be recognized for her work in the film. But she has a serious glow going on - she looked amazing! And while happiness and pride will do that do a girl, I knew there had to be something a little chemically stronger behind that gorgeous skin. Curious as to how she got that glow, I turned to esthetician-pal JoElle Lyons of the Hela Spa.
First off, JoElle points out that diet plays a huge part in how you look. "If you nourish yourself from the inside, it has to show on the outside. Mo'Nique has recently worked on her diet and looks amazing. Drinking water will also really help your skin look clear." JoElle also swears by supplements by Barleans, which are available at Whole Foods. Essential Women supplements from Barleans claim to give you radiant glowing skin, lustrous hair and strong nails while providing freedom from monthly or midlife female discomforts and offering beauty in full bloom.
Another trend that is really popular right now is the micro peel. A micro peel combines a chemical exfoliation followed up by a light dermabrasion treatment. Even the Real Housewives of Atlanta have been talking about their micro peels, due to the amazing results. "Mo'Nique is likely to have undergone a series of micro peels to help her get that glow. The micro peels are gentle enough not to require down time, but strong enough to really boost your skin care routine, giving you better results, faster."
