Catherine Zeta-Jones washes her hair with beer.

The Oscar-winning beauty says she works hard on maintaining her stunning looks and uses a concoction of products to keep her luscious locks and illuminating skin.

She said: "I'm a slave to my looks! I keep my skin clear by applying a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturise and exfoliate. I also condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards! And I don't mind admitting I never leave home without my make-up bag - I think I came out of the womb loving make-up."

Although she is conscious of her looks, Catherine - who has two children, Dylan, nine, and six-year-old Carys, with husband Michael Douglas - refuses to conform to the super-skinny look which is rife in Hollywood at the moment.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. I'm not going to lie to you, I've got drag myself down to the gym like everybody else. But I look at the red carpet sometimes and it's like a pageant. I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I'm against diets. I eat when I'm hungry, three meals a day."
