Natural skin care products have been praised by a professional make-up artist in her latest book.

Lina Hanson has applied beauty products to big names such as Mandy Moore and Zac Efron throughout her career.

She has just published a book called Eco-Beautiful: The Ultimate Guide to Natural Beauty and Wellness, in which she outlines her philosophy towards looking good.

Ms Hanson said she believes the best results can be achieved by using environmentally-friendly items rather than products overloaded with chemicals.

"When you nurture your skin with natural products made from ingredients that are beneficial to your health, it will show," she commented.

Ms Hanson said eco products led to her suffering fewer breakouts and found that even when she wore no make-up at all, her skin was "glowing".

Meanwhile, former Eastenders actress Natalie Cassidy has recommended that people who want to look after their skin drink lots of water.

She told Heat that she sticks to a good skin care regime, but also finds that drinking water can help with dark circles and lines.
