LisaRaye's Beauty - It seems as if actress LisaRaye is only getting better with time. We recently caught up with the sex symbol to get her secrets to maintaining her good looks, and to discuss her new charitable venture.

Face Forward - I wash my face with a peppermint soap by Dr. Palmers. You just dilute it with a little bit of water.

Natural Beauty - When I exfoliate my body, I actually just pull some things from my kitchen. I use either sugar or salt to create a scrub.

Walk Pretty - Of course, I go to the spa to take care of my feet, but I also use old-fashioned Vaseline when I get out of the tub. I also have the paraffin wax machine at home.

Dazzling Diva - I love a tan, bronzed look. I love the look of a shimmer underneath my eyes and just above my cheekbones. It illuminates my eyes. I also love to wear black eyeliner on the inside water base of my eye.

Back to Basics - Since I’ve gotten older, I like long, free hair. I like to just tip my head upside-down, bring it back up and shake it a little bit. I don’t like it to be so coifed anymore.

Expert Hair Tip - For scalp issues, I combine a little olive oil with a base of a good moisturizing conditioner. I heat that up and apply it directly to the scalp for about 20 minutes with a heating cap. This is a great treatment to do right after you’ve taken out your weave.

Stay Slick - I use <i>Diamante Illuminating Polish Shine Wax</i>. It doesn’t flake and it holds LisaRaye’s edges very well. She has naturally curly hair, so I wouldn’t use a wet pomade, I would only use a wax pomade.

Great Hold - <i>BBD Super Premium Lacquer</i> holds a curl well. I usually don’t use a lot of spray. Just a little. To achieve the tousled, wavy look, you should wrap the hair around the curling iron instead of the traditional method of curling.
