Katy Perry has one of Hollywood’s hottest bodies! How does the singer stay in such great shape – even while on the road, touring?

“When I was on the road, I liked to have a light soup, a piece of grilled chicken and some quinoa with grilled asparagus for dinner,” the “Teenage Dream” singer, 27, tells PEOPLE. “I always need my daily vitamins and I loved fresh-pressed juices and coconut water. I also love snacks, but pick healthier options like veggies and hummus, tangerines or Popchips.”

Speaking of Popchips, Perry has just been named the spokesperson for the healthy snack, shortly after she Tweeted about the product and was approached by the brand.

“They taste great and don’t make me feel guilty about them afterwards,” she says, adding that BBQ is her favorite flavor.

“Eating healthy is so important because I can’t afford to get sick,” Perry says. “When I was on the road, it was very important to eat a balanced meal and to make sure my energy was up for every two-hour show.”

Aside from eating right, the pop star says she feels the best about her body when she gets into “a routine of waking up early, starting my day with a workout, meditating and getting fresh air.”

As for those workouts, Perry doesn’t hit the gym.

“I love being outdoors,” she says. “I prefer to go on hikes or ride my bike.”

I love Popchips (except the jalapeno ones – those are nasty!), BBQ is my favorite.

During the summer months, heat, sweat and humidity can wear you down, but it can also leave you looking like a melty mess.  Makeup Artist Jose Parron answers all your questions and provides helpful pointers to keep you looking fresh during the hot summer months!

Q: Is it safe to wear makeup at the beach?

A: As long as your makeup has a sufficient SPF for the time you are spending at the beach or pool, it is safe to wear makeup in the sun.  For extended stays, you might want to consider a higher SPF under your foundation.

 Q: How can I assure that my makeup stays on during humid weather?

A: Using a foundation like Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation SPF 20, will ensure that you have a lightweight texture product that can perform in any extreme situation—not just when it’s humid, but even while perspiring.

Q: I have a birth mark on my leg, what is the best way to cover this on the beach? 

A: Marks on the body are a concern for many, particularly at the beginning of the summer when people feel pale and blotchy.  A quick application of Dermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15,can help conceal your birthmark, while covering other problem areas, such as bruises and veins.  Simply match the Leg and Body Cover to your skin tone and then apply it to already moisturized skin in short up and down strokes, let dry for five minutes and set with Dermablend Setting Powder.

 Q: How can I maintain a sun-kissed look without exposing myself to the sun? 

A:  Many of my clients like the look of a healthy glow, but fear the risk of exposing skin to the sun’s harmful rays. Using a sheer application of Dermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15, in a shade darker than your own skin tone, will give the illusion of sun-kissed legs, while helping to evenly cover imperfections.  Then apply Dermablend Setting Powder, let it set for a few minutes,and you can dance or workout without the fear of it coming off or staining your favorite shorts or sundress.

 Q: I have a formal event this summer and would like to conceal a visible tattoo. What is the easiest way to ensure my tattoo is covered?

 A: Dermablend has an easy fix to cover tattoos without taking drastic measures. Apply Dermablend Tattoo Primer directly on tattoo to help enhance wearability and texture. Next, cover your tattoo with Dermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15 and lastly, set with Dermablend Setting Powder. The three-step system allows for 16 hours of smudge-resistant, long-lasting wearability.

Jordin Sparks landed the August cover of Shape Magazine. The singer posed in a bikini, showing off her recent 50-pound weight loss! So how did Jordin lose the weight?

“There is no secret,” the 22-year-old Sparkle actress told Us at the event. “It’s just eating better and working out! It’s definitely a daily thing.”

Among her favorite ways to get her sweat on: high-energy dance classes like Zumba. “My mom’s best friend is a Zumba instructor and I loved it,” she gushed. “I started with walking then went to jogging and then Zumba. I started [working with a trainer] and we did 30 minutes of circuit training so I didn’t feel like I needed to be in the gym for two hours.”

In addition to intense cardio sculpting sessions, Sparks, who had been dating fellow singer Jason Derulo since last August, had to makeover her diet as well. “I stop now when I’m full,” she admitted. “I love food and I love to eat. My thing was, do I really need seconds or do I want it just because it tastes good?”

But leftovers and second helpings have proven to pay off for the season 6 American Idol champ, who admits that she got extremely emotional when shooting her first bikini cover.

“I could only dream having a cover and looking like that,” she said. “I thought, ‘I did it!’ I had to walk back to my dressing room and I had to pull myself together because I was overwhelmed. I cried. I shed a little tear but I’m really happy with how it turned out.”

She looks amazing, but honestly…….she doesn’t look much different to me. I know she was a bit pudgy, but did she really have 50 pounds to lose? Either way, good for her. She looks beautiful on this cover!

“I may or may not have just gotten my nose pierced again… And i may or may not have video….you see where this is going?” That’s what the ‘True Blood’ actress said before posting the video.

She followed it up with a link to the video, a thank you to “Victor” at “House of Ink” for doing the job and a disclaimer: “I must warn you, do not watch that last video if you are squeamish.”

Is it just me, or does she really seem to like (you get my drift?) getting her nose pierced?

Salma Hayek is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s hottest women. The 45-year-old actress sizzles as a stripper in her latest movie ‘Americano’, and will be seen next in ‘Savages’. How in the world does she do it? How does she stay in such amazing shape, looking hotter than EVER!?

According to Shape Magazine it’s juicing! The actress has launched a new line called Cooler Cleanse, which is organic, locally sourced, hydraulically pressed juices.

In 2008 the brunette bombshell and juicing devotee approached New York City juicing expert Eric Helms to co-create unique, nutritious, and delicious juice recipes, and voilà—Cooler Cleanse was born.

“It’s a way to share preventative healthcare practices that have worked so well for me over the years—ones that can help everyone look and feel their best,” Hayek tells SHAPE. “I have many years of experience with cleansing, so I felt I had some knowledge to share. Our modern lifestyle brings a lot of stress and toxins into our body, and it’s important to help it eliminate them.”

What started as a labor of love has now become a nationwide delivery service. Starting at $58 per day, the company offers everything from a day-long mini-cleanse to recuperate after a decadent splurge to three- and five-day programs to boost body functioning and increase energy.

“We use a hydraulic press, which produces pulp-free juices with three to five times more vitamins. Our kitchen uses organic produce and nuts, which is very important to me,” Hayek says.

The fiery, flawless female loves indulging in rich foods from time to time, so cleansing is a great way for her to hit the reset button. “I always try to have our fresh juices in my refrigerator,” she says. “I let my body tell me when it’s time to cleanse… the first day is hard, but then it becomes easier and you feel energized.”

This summer, take a safer approach to achieving a desirable sun-kissed look. No need to be exposed to the sun’s harmful rays—prep and prime skin for a faux glow the sun worshipers will envy with BABOR’s Mild Peeling, Self-Tanning Foam and Self Tanning Concentrate.

Start by exfoliating dry, dead cells allowing skin to easily absorb the treatment product. BABOR Mild Peeling, formulated with herbal grains and finely ground peach kernels, gently eliminates surface lines while plant lipids help balance and condition the complexion, prepping skin perfectly for a self-tanner.

The Self Tanning Foam by BABOR adds more than a golden glow. The dual-phase body foam glides on smoothly to provide a streak-free, natural-looking tan while an innovative anti-aging complex containing elderberry extract, tropical almond and tannic acid, firms the skin. Key ingredients vitamin E and amaranth seed oil trap free radicals, promote regeneration and protect skin against UV-induced irritations.

For face, the Self Tanning Concentrate can be added to ANY daytime moisturizer or used alone for a gradual sun-kissed complexion. This quick absorbing, fragrance-free formula immediately reveals a streak-free golden glow.

I love these products because I love getting tan – in a healthy way. The sun just down right scares me. I’m even more afraid of tanning booths – so what’s a girl to do! I’ve tried all three of these products, and I absolutely love them! They don’t look FAKE at all, which is (to me) the #1 most important feature in a self-tanning product. It just looks like you’ve been naturally sun-kissed! Love it!

Retail Prices: Mild Peeling, $24; Self-Tanning Foam, $30; Self-Tanning Concentrate, $30
