Cate
Blanchett's Sake Secret
2/27/08
Cate Blanchett owes her youthful looks to creams made with Japanese
beverage sake.
The Aussie actress has been a devotee of Procter & Gamble SK-II
products for seven years - and now she's a spokeswoman for the brand.
And the star is revealing what it is about the miracle creams and
face-masks that give the products the edge over other age defying beauty
items.
She says, "They discovered that little old women who were working
in the sake dough, I guess it's called, their hands were as smooth as
babies."
Pregnant Blanchett is such a big fan of the SK-II beauty masks, she
slips one on every morning, while she's making sandwiches for her
children's dinner.
She explains, "I have a little ritual in the morning and in the
evening; I'll do a mask while I'm making their sandwiches... It's that
easy to do."
But she's not quite sure about the serial killer look the masks give
her:
"It's cotton and you look like Hannibal Lecter, but you don't look
like Hannibal Lecter when you take it off."
