The former Celebrity Big Brother UK star and co-founder has plenty of dos and don'ts when it comes to looking fabulous

She shared some anti-aging advice that anyone can follow with The U.S. Sun.

SPF SITUATION

Alicia, 44, emphasized the importance of protecting your skin from the sun.

"Always wear an SPF with broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection," she said.

According to the self-confessed former plastic surgery addict, a natural zinc SPF gives instant sun protection when applied versus chemical SPF, which she said takes time to work.

But don't think just because you're inside — or in flight — that you're safe from the sun.

"Did you know you still get UVA rays penetrating through the windows of the airplane, which can cause skin aging?" she said.

"Apply your sunscreen before getting on the plane!"

MOISTURE MAGIC

Aging skin is dry skin, argued Alicia, so it's "all about putting enough moisture into your skin and body to plump it out."

That is exactly why argan oil is scientifically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles — and it's the main ingredient in many of the products for her brand.

The , $46, is their best-seller and is available at Walmart.

"It's packed with fatty acids that plump out the skin," the founder said.

OILS VERSUS CREAMS

"I am a big believer in using oils instead of creams," said the star.

She explained that creams are at least 60% to 85% water, whereas oils are deeply hydrating and contain antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins.

Oils not only nourish but protect and repair skin.

She also said that they protect against free radicals that can accelerate the aging process.

This, in turn, strengthens the skin barrier and retains moisture, plus resists external stressors.
