Catherine Zeta Jones is considered to be one of the most beautiful, sexy and glamorous actors in Hollywood. The 39-year old "Sweetheart" of millions of fans around the world has recently revealed some of the secrets behind her beauty and glamour. Zeta Jones though is the face of cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden, but she has some natural methods that she swears by as well.

The Special Massage Paste for her body:

Everyday, before shower, Christina Zeta Jones gets her body rubbed with a paste of honey and salt. This mixture is made of equal proportion of honey and salt. Then the paste is applied over the entire body of the beautiful actor. She said: "I rub a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturize and exfoliate. You wash it off and your skin is gorgeous."

For keeping her teeth look shiny, Catherine Zeta Jones takes an apple after every meal. She loves eating an apple after the meal as it cleanses her teeth and the Hollywood actor recommends brushing teeth with a strawberry. She said: "The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains. Pineapples work the same way."

Catherine Zeta Jones keeps her hair shiny by washing it with a combi of beer and honey. Proportion is 2 table spoon of honey with each can of beer. The actor recommends this washing method for those who wish to maintain strong and glossy hair. She said: "I do condition my hair with honey and beer though. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards but it's very good for the hair."

How do you maintain such fabulous figure even after having two children - replying to this question, Catherine Zeta Jones with her famous smile says she swims a lots for maintaining figure. At the same time, she also is an avid golfer.

"It's the greatest exercise. I also like to play golf, often twice a week, with my girlfriends in Bermuda. A golf course is right next door to our house. We have a girls' day which is always fun because it's like: 'Oh, we're not playing well. Let's go for lunch and have a glass of wine!"

She adds, "I also love to ski with my children. That's why we bought a place in Mont Tremblant in Canada. I have a great time with my children."

What about Catherine's daily diet? She basically eats lots of fresh chicken and fish. "We live in Bermuda most of the time and my husband is an avid deep-sea fisherman. I'm pretty good at it too.

"I've caught mahi-mahi, and last summer, I reeled in a 40-pound Wahoo, like Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws. Michael took photos and we have sushi that night for dinner."

But she admits she's a peasant at heart, and she loves bread and cheese and would eat it all the time if calories didn't count.

The mom of two [with actor Michael Douglas] - Dylan, 7, and Carys, 5 - says she put on over forty pounds with each pregnancy. And she's appalled by Hollywood's obsession with thinness, especially celebrity moms who rush to get back to their pre-pregnancy weight.

"I think it's awful, this competition between actresses who just had a baby to see who can be the first to get back to their normal weight.

"It's insane! I find this wave of super-skinny women scary.... and I don't trust mothers of young children who are too well groomed. Let's see - you're not with your children, you're not with your husband - you're with your manicurist and your pilates teacher!"

Commenting on her glamorous looks, Catherine Zeta Jones said, there are people who expect to see the Catherine Zeta Jones always glamorous as they see her on screen. There are people who expect me to look the way I do on-screen, where I have a great director of photography and fantastic lighting.

"I'm sorry to disappoint people, but I don't look like that all the time - no actress does. I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as if you don't give a... you know. You can be smart, bright and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself."
