Audrey Hepburn’s Beauty Tips

Audrey Hepburn is easily one of the most beautiful women of cinema.

But did you know that one of her favorite poems was this lovely little ditty about inner beauty, written by Sam Levenson?

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. 

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Audrey Hepburn was every bit the beautiful and fashionable woman at 60 that she was at 25, and perhaps that’s because she took this poem’s words to heart.

Here’s to hoping we can follow in her footsteps!
