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.

    DIY Light Therapy & How To Fake Tan Flawlessly

    DIY Light Therapy & How To Fake Tan Flawlessly

    Find all the products mentioned in this episode here... https://www.mamamia.com.au/how-to-fake-tan Summer is on the way which means it's time to get rid of the moon tan! So, Kelly and Leigh are giving you all the tips to make sure you don't end up looking like a streaky Oompa Loompa. "No fake tan is foolproof," says Leigh. "This is my suggestion. The day before tanning you do your hair removal...and exfoliate." "Don't use a scrub because most scrubs are oil based. It's going to act as a barrier and your tan's not going to get in." "Instead, I used the $3 body mits and my body wash and I scrub, scrub, scrub." "When you apply...you want to be dry and cold because you want your pores to be closed. Otherwise, you'll get the little dots in your legs where you've shaved," said Leigh. Plus they tell you whether DIY light therapy is worth it. "I had a hormonal break out when I was trying it and I did find it quite effective," says Leigh. "But in my personal opinion I don't think at home LED is as effective as going to a salon and having Omnilux...but an Omnilux machine is $40,000." And in our Spendy/ Savey segment, Kelly talks about why she's a fan of multi-masking. Want more You Beauty?
