Jenny McCarthy - Author, Actress, Activist, Comedian, Model Uses Emu Oil

Jenny McCarthy recently thanked emus for her beautiful complexion. Quoting from Entertainment Today

"The 36-year-old star is a huge fan of the unusual beauty product – which is made from the fat of the giant birds – and is convinced it helps her fight the ageing process.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: “Jenny loves the oil because it sinks deeper into the skin than other oils – and it’s so incredibly potent at fighting off wrinkles, she applies it just once every two days.”

Emu oil has long been lauded for its anti-ageing properties, and is also said to help wounds and burns heal.

Jenny is not the only star said to be enamoured with the moisturiser - Goldie Hawn and Demi Moore are also said to be fans.

‘High School Musical’ star Zac Efron also stocked up on jars of the cream after having his appendix removed last year.

A source said at the time: “Zac applies emu oil daily to a scar he got from his appendectomy earlier this year. He can't handle having imperfect abs and the oil, which is made from the bird's fat is said to fade scars. It is already working.”

I would also like to take a moment to bring one of Jenny's passionate interests to your attention. She has teamed up with Jim Carey to create an organization called Generation Rescue. This is an international movement of scientists and physicians researching the causes and treatments for autism, ADHD and chronic illness, while parent-volunteers mentor thousands of families in recovering their children. Watch this quick video intro by Jim and Jenny.

Jenny has also recently co-authored with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel a new book "Healing and Preventing Autism Today"

If you know someone with an autistic child please refer them to this book and organization. There is alot of help out there for them.
