Beauty Transformation: Daisy Fuentes

At 44-years-old, Daisy Fuentes looks better than ever—her skin is vibrant, her hair is long and thick, even her body seems leaner and more toned. The Cuban-American has always been beautiful (just click through this slideshow for proof!), but it seems as though she’s truly found her best look in her forties, and Daisy agrees with us. In her recent book, Unforgettable You, she writes, “After many years in the beauty business, I am proud to say that I have my style and image pretty well honed. It wasn’t always this way. It has taken a lot of trial and error for me to find out what works for me.”

Let’s take a look back at all that work over the years!

May 2011: Today the star is toned, wrinkle-free, and picture perfect. “I certainly take better care of my body now. I’ve been a junk food junkie most of my life. But I tried and tried again, and now I manage to eat healthy, natural, unprocessed foods most of the time. I really do feel better for it,” Daisy shares.
