Beauty secrets
American singer, multiple Grammy Award winner Mary J. Blige revealed the secret of her youth and beauty in an interview.
Mary J. Blige said that negative experiences affect the appearance. For this reason, she always tries to keep a positive attitude.
“My secret to fighting aging is to try to think about life as positively as possible, because a frown and stress are reflected on the face,” the singer explained.
Mary J. Blige admitted that eating a lot of water and vitamins, as well as moisturizing the skin helps her look good. In addition, she urged fans to always wash off makeup before going to bed.
Scar
How did Mary J. Blige get that scar under her left eye? Gossips say that this is a trace of a fight with some woman over a guy. But this, of course, is just a rumor. In fact, the scar is a consequence of childhood trauma.
Mary J. Blige was born and raised in one of the most disadvantaged areas of New York, the Bronx. The singer acquired a scar under her left eye in her youth, during one of the fights with her peers in the yard.
Plastic surgery
In an interview, Mary J. Blige said, “If I don’t accept the scar on my face, the lips that God gave me, the long legs, and whatever else is in my body, then I’m doing the wrong thing. You need to love your body, and then others will treat you the same way.”
Big breasts, firm buttocks, smooth taut skin, even noses, plump lips… We are used to the fact that plastic surgery is primarily the art of creating new bodies and completely forgot about the original task of aesthetic medicine – to correct the shortcomings of appearance behind all this glossy beauty. After all, when it was just beginning, people suffered more not from wrinkles, but from scars.
A rare man managed without scars until the end of the XIX century. Those who didn’t want to look like Frankenstein hurried to the surgeons. It was only later that silicone, botox, hyaluronic acid, laser and ultrasound procedures appeared. But it’s amazing: there are still people with noticeable scars among celebrities. Moreover, they are not at all shy of them!
