Secret 1. Olive oil for facial skin care
Olive oil, or as it is also called "liquid gold", is not only the best salad dressing, but also an excellent skin care product. It can have the most beneficial effect on it, because it contains oleic acid, provitamin A, vitamin E, flavonoids. In ancient times in Europe and Central Asia, women used olive oil on their skin after exercising to restore balance. Liquid Gold nourishes, moisturizes and protects the skin. In today's world, cosmetic firms use olive oil to produce creams and face masks.

Secret 2. Refusal of ultraviolet radiation
Sexy tan or aristocratic pallor? Aesthetics are ready to argue forever on this topic, however, if you adhere to the "tanned" position, remember that beauty in this case can be quite short-term: the skin will tan and begin to age faster. Sophie Marceau understands this perfectly, so she prefers to avoid being in direct sunlight, and even more so she is not fond of sunbathing. It has long been proven by scientists: tanning is a natural reaction of the epidermis to ultraviolet light, or rather, a protective reaction.

Tip 4. Do not deny yourself delicious food
Sophie Marceau has never been on a diet. As the actress admits, she just does not suffer from gluttony. The Frenchwoman prefers not to deny herself her favorite foods: she eats everything, but little by little. She mainly chooses vegetables, fish, cereals for breakfast. The actress does not eat meat, fast food, sweets at all. The exception is dark chocolate. In addition, Marceau does not neglect a couple of glasses of dry wine with cheese, if he is in the mood for that. According to nutritionists, this position is correct from the point of view of maintaining harmony: refusals and prohibitions entail breakdowns. Psychologically, it is very difficult for a person to completely abandon their favorite foods. The famous Russian doctor Alexander Myasnikov shares the principle of Sophie Marceau and recommends allowing himself everything, but in moderation. It is difficult to disagree, because sometimes you can overeat and healthy food. The main thing is to stop on time!
