Best: Halle Berry
Berry's nearly perfect complexion is envy-worthy. David Bank, M.D., founder and director of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery credits Berry's flawless skin to being careful in the sun, a great at-home maintenance routine and possibly Botox (average cost of $350 per area) and Thermage treatments (which firm and tone the skin and cost, on average, $1,000-5,000).

Kutcher's only 31, but his lack of fine lines, sun damage and obvious pores prove he's taking good care of his skin. Though Bank thinks Kutcher may have Botox (due to his lack of crows feet and lines) he believes that his smooth skin texture is courtesy of a good cleansing and hydrating routine paired with regular glycolic and microdermabrasion treatments. Can't afford pricey spa treatments? Try these at-home versions:
Pitt is one of the biggest heartthrobs in Hollywood, but his skin doesn't always look perfect (shocking, we know). He has obvious acne scars, likely a result of teenage acne. And the overall tone and texture of his skin isn't smooth, which Bank contributes to "getting older, stress or working too hard," he says. Heidi Waldorf, M.D., of Waldorf Dermatology & Laser Associates, recommends several treatments with the Fraxel Restore laser, which costs $750-1500 per treatment and requires two to three days of downtime, to improve scarring like Pitt's.
