Ireland’s most natural-looking beautiful woman hails from Belmont, Milltown.
The fresh and radiant looks of young PE teacher Michelle Hyland dazzled skincare experts who were searching for the country’s Most Natural Beauty.
The opposition, run by Clearasil, asked women to send in their favourite natural headshot along with a few words describing what inner and outer beauty means to them.
After going through hundreds of entries, the photo of the Milltown woman rested at the top of the pile, and the judges were hugely impressed by her application.
Michelle, aged 24 years, recently graduated from University of Limerick as a qualified PE teacher. She and her parents Breda and Michael were shocked at learning she had won the competition.
“I got the phone call out of the blue to say I had won. I really couldn’t believe it,” says the bubbly teacher, who has three sisters and one brother.
Although you wouldn’t think it, Michelle has a phobia of being photographed. As part of the competition she explained how she never really smiled until last year, after she underwent extensive surgery for the correction of an underbite.

Surgery changed everything
“I was very conscious about the underbite and the surgery really has changed everything,” she adds.
The surgery was planned during the summer months while Michelle was off college and she admits it was a long and tough recovery. However she is delighted that she did it and is now really enjoying smiling.
Michelle, who has just qualified as a PE and geography teacher from UL, has determined to take some time out to travel and will head to Australia over the coming weeks.
As the overall winner, Michelle enjoyed a personal photoshoot with a top photographer and had stylists and hair and composition artists on hand to help. Her prize included a €500 voucher for Dundrum Town Centre and a hamper of Clearasil goodies. She also appeared on TV3’s Xposé.
“The voucher was gone in a few hours,” laughs Michelle, who claims she has no time for men in her life at the moment.
She really enjoyed the pampering and style of the photoshoot and it’s something she could get used to, but she feels that would only be a “dream world”.
“The day was especially amazing because for me, as a PE teacher, daily schedule is very casual and unglamorous, so this was a very special experience for me,” she said.
“It was probably the most exciting thing that happened in my life so far,” remarked Michelle.
Hazel Roche, brand manager for Clearasil, said, “Michelle was a deserving winner. Not only was she a natural beauty but her personality also shone through and we were happy to have chosen her for this year’s competition.”

“I told them a bit of how I grew up with an underbite and last year I had my jaw reconstructed. It’s a bit of cliché but I never really smiled before that and wore braces for five years,” explains Michelle.

One thing we loved about the traveling in Ireland was the real diversity in sights to see. In the morning we might be driving through the Wicklow Mountains, but in the hours of daylight we could be exploring an aged castle. We saw natural beauty: cascading waterfalls, rocky coasts, pristine lakes, lush mountains and dramatic cliffs. But we had a nice blend of things created by man: abandoned monasteries, ancient burial sites, ornate churches, and castles (old and not-so-old). We even spent some time exploring the showroom of Waterford Crystal in Waterford, which was full of hand-crafted gem, small and large.
The Burren, from the Irish Boíreann meaning “a rocky place,” is a limestone-laden region in northwest County Clare. The area encompasses 155 square miles, spring by the Atlantic Ocean and Galway Bay. A small portion earns the peculiarity as one of the Republic of Ireland’s six national parks.
In 1651, one of Oliver Cromwell’s army officers remarked, “It is a country where there is not water enough to drown a man, wood enough to hang one, nor earth enough to bury them. This last is so scarce that the inhabitants steal it from one another and yet their cattle are very fat. The grass grows in tufts of earth of two or three foot square which lies between the limestone rocks and is very sweet and nourishing
Ireland is a rich country when it comes to sights and activities, from old to ancient, shreouded in myth, to the young and vibrant. There are also various actions for instance sports, beauty and music. If you are planning to spend your holiday in Ireland, then you will definitely encounter plenty to see and do. This will most expected be your dream holiday!
Whether you have been to the country of Ireland prior to or it is your first time, one of the best ways to get around when it comes to sightseeing is to hire a car to take you to various destinations. Although tours are perhaps more widely advertised as the best way for foreigners to get around to a range of destinations, there are quite a few limitations to taking a tour.
Make sure that you hire the kind of car that will be reasonable and that will fit your budget as planned. However; here are the things to watch out for while on your holiday:
Experience Irish night life:
Make sure that you visit all the beautiful places but when visiting a large city for instance like Dublin or Limerick, the best thing for you to do is to experience the night life. Night life, in America basically refers to a crowd of people in their twenties or early thirties going to the clubs to dance. Irelands night life seem to be different, for instance, as there might seem to be fewer in town during the day, they pour into the town at night hitting one pub after the other. At this time, they are eager to talk to new public and make new friends as well.
The tourist attractions at major cities are pretty interesting. Try to visit the famous guiness factory, it is a bit over rated and at times seem to be more of an advert than a tour. However try get there as this is definitively a lay to see.
