When you get the chance to interview supermodel Claudia Schiffer—who has managed to age hardly at all since we began idolizing her back in the '80s—about her beauty secrets, you listen hard. Even more so when the answers are a little unconventional. Here, a few surprising gems she shared with me at the launch of her new hair care line for Schwarzkopf.
How to get sexy hair without relying on product:
"I'm a wear-my-hair-down kind of woman, but I don't like when it's overstyled, so I stop blow-drying my hair when it's still slightly damp and let it air-dry the rest of the way. It makes it more lived-in and not so perfect. Also, when you don't have products handy, the easiest way to create volume is to back-comb your hair all over, then squeeze the roots with a flatiron to lock in the lift. It works like magic."
Her German secret for glossy, healthy hair:
"This isn't scientifically proven, and I can't really back it up, but some people say that drinking beer makes hair shiny and strong. My take is that you're better off with a do-it-all serum like the Schwarkopf Essence Ultime BB Beauty Balm—but a little beer can't hurt!"
The men's grooming product responsible for her radiant skin:
"It's all about exfoliation. My favorite is Clinique for Men Face Scrub, because it has enough grittiness to actually make a difference and gives skin a refreshing tingle. I use it at least two to three times a week. If I need some extra love, I'll use CellCosmet Anti-Stress Mask afterward to make my face glow."
I'm so intrigued by all three of these tips. Would you try any of them?
