Ever wondered how Kate Moss maintained her supermodel looks, despite practically being the poster girl for getting pissed in the 90s? We think we've figured out the champagne supernova's secrets...
Turns out, along with making us feel 3.5 times more fancy than we actually are, a bottle of bubbly also has some major beauty benefits.
Mixing a bit of champagne with water makes a great clarifying hair rinse and skin toner, or you can create a purifying facial mask by adding champs to a bit of clay. If you're looking for a luxurious exfoliant, pour some into your bath!

The only downside is that none of these hacks actually require you to drink the stuff but luckily, even the cheapest bottle of champers has the same effect as the posh ones.
Check out the PopSugar video above for a fun rundown of all the ways to use bubbly to get gorgeous.
Sadly, Mossy's other one true love Marlboro Lights won't be making their way into our beauty routines any time soon...

This little beauty will not only look pretty in your salt dish, it’s a wonder ingredient that boasts countless health and beauty benefits. Hailing from the Himalayan mountain range, its purity has been rejoiced as a wonder alternative to the traditional white stuff, with respiratory healing properties, aiding a restful nights sleep and lowering blood pressure named as but a few of its many claimed wondrous properties. Swap this into your diet or throw a handful in the bath – this miracle worker will have you back to your best in no time. (credit:Shutterstock)

Now here’s one that we can definitely all get on board with. While alcohol is never going to claim to help you run a marathon, one glass of red wine a night can provide you with a bucketful of healing anti oxidants. Red wine contains something called Resveratrol, which lowers the risk of blood clots and helps prevent damage to blood vessels – all round winner. There’s also something to be said for a healthy dose of relaxation, so put your feet up, pour a glass and get an early night. (credit:Dave Dugdale/Flickr)

While Biotin might not be a word that immediately springs to recognition, its more commonly known sources will certainly do so. This wonder vitamin found in Brown Rice, Peas, Lentils and Oats is the one of the most commonly associated factors with strong and healthy hair. Incorporating these simple foodstuffs into your diet could do wonders for your locks, so stock up.
Collagen (04 of08)

While collagen has become something of a muddled word of late (most commonly associated with something you’d have pumped into your lips for a fuller pout), it’s actually a key existing component in our skin responsible for its strength and resilience, which over time and through various life stresses starts to break down leaving the skin looking deflated and tired. If you’re keen to pack in as many benefits as possible, taking a liquid shot of PURE GOLD COLLAGEN every morning is a great way forward for reviving beautiful skin, hair and nails. Working from the inside out rather than applying a topical cream, clinical trials have shown that Pure Gold Collagen (from Minerva Research Labs) helps improve early signs of ageing, meaning one small shot a day will enhance and rejuvenate your skin, hair and nails. These power shots contain Hydrolysed Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid Borage oil, as well as a roll call of essential minerals and vitamins such as Biotin (essential for healthy hair).

It’s been drummed into all of us since our youth that eight glasses a day is needed to keep us healthy and in tip-top shape. Although old as time itself, this one couldn’t be truer. Upping your hydration will provide immediate wellbeing effects; improved digestion, clearer skin and a wonder cure if you suffer from headaches. (credit:Hasan Hagi/500px)

Adding spinach to your diet will not only earn you brownie points in the “eat your greens” department, it also harbors many important health benefits, as well as being a natural diuretic. This means that if you’re holding onto any excess water weight and are feeling a little bloated, this leafy green could help flush it out of your system (credit:DeSegura89/Flickr)
Vitamin D Supplements (08 of08)

Vitamin D, or “the sunshine vitamin” as it is sometimes known, is essential for our bodies in many life-changing ways. It’s thought to prevent the onset of Osteoporosis, to lower the risk of heart disease and cancers, and prevent against type 1 Diabetes. Our primary source of vitamin D is from the sun, so in our less than generous UK climate taking a supplement can be a great way to ensure you reap all the benefits of a healthy vitamin D intake.
