Sports Illustrated Model, Chrissy Teigen's Secrets for A Smooth, Summer Bod

Like any man I always pick up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine to check out the models, but like any woman, I use the photos as inspiration to get beach ready.  Those ladies are beyond gorgeous and I respect them because unlike models you see in fashion publications, they have real curves (of course, in all the right places).  I got the 411 on Sports Illustrated Model, Chrissy Teigen's summer essentials. "I used to steal my fiance's razor, but now I would never," she comments.  "I use the Gilette Venus & Olay Razor, because it keeps my legs really smooth."

After shaving, to get her body beach ready, she swears by cocoa butter and cocoa butter oil.  Loaded with antioxidants, cocoa butter is one of the best moisturizers, because it penetrates through the top layer of the skin.  Added benefits include helping to reduce scars and stretch marks.  No wonder Teigen's skin looks so soft!

To keep her lips as smooth as her bod, she swears by lip conditioner.  "My lips always eat up it up in the summertime," Teigen explains.  "If I don't have any on hand, I use eye cream because it's usually concentrated and good for sensitive areas."

Savvy Multi-taskers Put to the Test

The latest crop of beauty loot is even smarter than ever before.  A hydrating duo, a 3-in-1 shower potion that will help de-clutter your shower and a hair product with 15 different uses (yes, you read that right, 15)!  I put these multi-taskers to the test.

The Body Shop Body Butter Duo, $15 at thebodyshop-usa.com

When I unscrewed the top the container I found a ying-yang made of body butters.  The ying, a light-weight moisturizer that was good for my whole body and the yang, a thicker cream that was perfect for my knees, elbows and feet.  My favorite scent – macadamia.  Yum!

Mark Three's A Charm 3-in-1 Lemon Sugar Body Cleanser, $8 at meetmark.com

I used to believe that 3-in-1's or any multi-tasking products to this extent were for men only (us girls like a product for this and maybe two products for that), but I was surprised to find that when I used it for my shampoo and body cleanser not only did it work but I was OK with it.  Enjoy baths?  It also acts as a bubble bath!  The citrus smell is intense, so I'd recommend using it only when you need a pick-me-up or help waking up in the morning. *launching soon

Black 15in1 Miracle Hair Treatment, $20 at black15in1.com

Call me crazy but I only brought one hair product to Aruba last week.  This one.  Talk about putting a product to the test.  It's a leave-in conditioning treatment and styling product.  Being out in the sun all day and having hair that needs just a light styler, it acted as promised – just a few spritzes on damp hair and it prevented frizz and fly aways, increased volume and protected from heat styling.
