Courteney Cox: Hair and Skin Secrets

With her flawless skin and luminous locks, it’s hard to believe the Courteney Cox is in fact, 48 years old.

Good thing xoJane.com enlisted the star to once again dispense tricks of the trade. “Hair is a tough one,” she admits. “I’m pretty lazy. I don’t even know how to use a blow dryer.”

To achieve trademark on-set loose curls, she refers to her Cougar Town guru, Brant Mayfield, who wraps big sections with a $130 Clipless Enzo Milano curling iron. To prepare for heat, he uses $27 Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray to add texture to just-washed hair.

“When your hair is dry from frequent blow drying, try a $16 Moroccan Oil treatment,” Cox advises. “It’s made of argan oil which is very nourishing and conditioning.” Other faves include $8 one-and-you’re-done lip moisture from Acca Kappa. “It really stays on and also has an SPF. I like the vanilla flavored one,” she gushes.

A self-professed former “sun worshiper,” the star relies on $85 NIA 24 Niacin-Powered Skin Therapy to help with hyperpigmentation and to improve skin’s texture and tone. “I’m actually a fan of all their products,” she says. “Their sunscreen is great!”

We can’t afford the off-the-runway Prabal, Prada and Pucci our favorite stars wear to red-carpet events, but what if they were available secondhand? Now you’re talking! The Real Real, an online consignment shop, is selling dozens of high-fashion dresses and accessories worn by celebrities, and 85 percent of proceeds from sales will benefit a great cause.

The sale starts Thursday at 10 a.m. ET, and includes Diane von Furstenberg from Jennifer Garner, a Rachel Zoe collection gown, Haute Hippie from Kourtney Kardashian, a Rebecca Taylor dress from 90210‘s Shenae Grimes (above, right) and a Alessandro Dell’Acqua number from Courteney Cox (above, left). “I love the fit and color of this dress,” Cox tells PEOPLE. “I loved wearing it.”

Other goodies include a Dolce & Gabbana clutch donated by Miley Cyrus, a gown Chris Benz designed for Glee‘s Dianna Agron, two Tory Burch handbags and a Monique Lhuillier blouse from Jamie-Lynn Sigler — plus much more.

True, she has makeup artists at her beck and call, but when she’s at home, Courteney Cox takes care of her own skincare and makeup, thank you very much. And in her latest blog for xojane.com, the Cougar Town star dishes on her “eye care solutions,” the tools she uses to keep her peepers pretty.

Cox “loves” her new Shiseido eyelash curler (bottom left), “less rounded so it’s easier to curl all your lashes evenly,” she explains. Next comes her Paul Scerri eye cream, which she explains is “really rich, but absorbs easily. Also great to use on a plane.”

Courteney Cox’s Latest Beauty Essential: A Good Nose-Hair Trimmer

She’s been sharing her budget beauty secrets as a style blogger for Jane Pratt’s site xojane.com, but in her most recent post, Courteney Cox dives into some, well, hairier issues.

“Jane asked me about the best nose hair trimmer,” Cox says in her latest column. “Embarrassing, but the Panasonic Swing Head is great for that and for eyebrow trimming.”

When she’s not keeping up on her trimming, Cox is using some other unusual products that she doesn’t leave home without, including moldable earplugs. “I have a really hard time sleeping but one thing that helps, besides my night guard, are these earplugs,” she writes. “You don’t have to stick them in your ear, just mold them around it. I don’t go anywhere without these.”

Her third pick of the week? Oddly enough, a hand grip — because her father used to use one of his own. “I use one … mostly because it reminds me of my dad, but also because it’s a good stress reliever,” she explains. “It tones the muscles in your forearm that are seldom worked out.”

Courteney Cox’s Dry-Skin Busting Must-Haves

She may be one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies, but Courteney Cox still has beauty problems of her own. “I have the dryest skin,” she laments on xoJane.com, where she serves as the site’s new beauty columnist. “I know I need to drink more water.” But until she starts seeing results from H2O, the actress has a few tricks up her sleeve. “[Something] that really helps is to take a loofah or a thistle brush,” she suggests, recommending one made from palm fibers like Earth Therapeutics Purest Palm Body Brush ($7.20). She says to use it on dry skin before taking a shower. “I brush upwards and it hurts,” she warns. “Then I shower.” After the shower and while she’s still wet, Cox puts on Aura Cacia sweet almond oil ($13.65). “Don’t rub it off with your towel, just pat your skin or let it dry naturally,” she advises. If at this point your skin is still very dry, the self-proclaimed “coconut nut” says to apply an oil like “Pure Fiji coconut milk and honey ($24). Yes, you will be pretty oily for a bit, but if you have the time to let it soak in, you’ll feel great,” she says. Just one word of warning: “Watch out when you’re wearing silk shirts!” Tell us: How do you deal with dry skin? –Caroline Slutsky

Courteney Cox knows that the best hair dye can be picked up at a drugstore for $9 — but some products, like Edward Bess eye shadow, are worth the splurge. In the spirit of sharing her favorite tips and tricks, the actress is writing a new blog for xoJane.com, the latest creation of former Jane and Sassy founding editor Jane Pratt, where she’ll post at least twice a month, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. (Estranged husband David Arquette created a T-shirt for the site earlier this year.) As the designated home editor for the site, her column focuses on her lifestyle essentials, such as Clairol Natural Instincts Brass-Free For Brunette ($8.99), her favorite hair treatment for “dark-haired girls who don’t like red hues coming through.” She also revealed her Edward Bess products-of-choice, Ultra-Luminous Eye Shadow ($30) and Sheer Satin Cream Compact ($60), in her first post. But she’s not the first celeb style icon who’s taken her know-how to the blogosphere. Gwyneth Paltrow updates fans with lifestyle advice, workout plans and recipes on her online newsletter, GOOP.com, and former reality star Lauren Conrad launched thebeautydepartment.com in April, where she dishes out details on the latest in hair and makeup.

Like aunt, like niece? The Arquette-Cox clan seemed to make hair a family affair this weekend. Patricia Arquette, formerly of Medium, was spotted out in Beverly Hills Saturday with a full head of purplely-blue hair, pulled back into a ponytail. Then Sunday, Courteney Cox‘s daughter Coco, 7 today, emerged from a Malibu salon with purple and blue streaks in her light brown locks, courtesy of mom. Though Cox is currently estranged from husband David Arquette (though they’re still friendly), it’s possible Coco is still taking style cues from dad’s side of the family. Or maybe her new hairstyle was a birthday treat? Tell us: What do you think of the Arquette ladies’ new hues?
