The Beauty Lessons Pia Whitesell Wishes She’d Learned Sooner

The Beauty Lessons Pia Whitesell Wishes She’d Learned Sooner

The former Home and Away star just revealed she'd "one thousand percent" discourage teenage modelling - despite winning Dolly's competition herself at 14.

At 41, Pia Whitesell has never felt more comfortable in her skin, which is exactly why Olay chose her as their new ambassador. This week, Kelly's chatting with the actress about her complete beauty evolution and why the Hello Better Me campaign speaks to women who want progress over perfection.

She's serving up some serious reality checks about the modelling industry, why becoming a mum changed everything about her beauty priorities, and how she's learned that "the most powerful beauty ritual is backing yourself." Plus, she spills on her Kardashian-level glam for her 40th birthday and opens up about learning to love the one facial quirk that used to make her feel insecure.

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

    Olay Collagen Peptide Cream $34

    Olay Ultra Firm Serum $34.99

    Red Light Therapy Bed
