Brooke Shields' Healthy Upgrade Team

Beauty, Health and Fitness Tips from the Experts for Postpartum Wellness

By Kelly Burgess

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

It may seem as if celebrity moms give birth, take a quick nap and then rise in perfection from their postpartum pillow, ready for their close-up.

Oh, they wish.

In fact, just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a team to whip the beautiful and famous back into shape after pregnancy and delivery – especially hands-on parents like Brooke Shields. After having two children in three years, Shields realized that she was going through what every new and expectant mom goes through – not enough time for her own beauty care.

While she can't give the world her brows, her eyes, her fabulous bone structure (if only!), Shields has pulled together a team of her own experts to offer advice to busy moms. Brooke Shields' Healthy Upgrade Team consists of Jeanne Yang, a celebrity stylist, beauty expert and mom of 5-year-old twins; Stacey Griffith, a 20-year fitness veteran who trains Brooke at SoulCycle, a premier NYC indoor cycling studio; and Michelle Dozier, D.D.S, who strives to educate women about the connection between oral care and broader health issues. She's also responsible for Brooke's pearly whites. Their tips are timely and terrific, and are ideas any woman can use, regardless of her parenting phase.

Beauty Tips

"I know from experience that new moms don't have a lot of time," says Yang. "The trick is to minimize your beauty routine by doing small things that give you a glow."

Yang's super fast beauty ideas keep you looking fresh and put together even on the most hectic days:

  • A Healthy Glow: The best look for anyone is a tan, Yang says, but not from the sun, which is time-consuming and tough on the skin. Also forgo the self-tanners for now, as they may contain chemicals that pregnant women and new moms would be wise to avoid. Instead, Yang recommends mixing bronzer with a bit of moisturizer and using it as a foundation. It's quick, cheap and safe. This can brighten up your look summer and winter, and a tan will make you appear thinner and make your smile appear brighter.
