Diary Of A Chemical Peel The idea of a chemical peel is scary - maybe because it sounds so much like "chemical burn." But after hearing about the benefits a chemical peel can have for skin - unclogged pores, even tone, an acne-free complexion - I knew I had to try one. Whether your goal is a major makeover, like eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, or as simple as preventing breakouts, there are numerous peels to choose from, ranging from deep (many layers of skin) to light (more surface-level). Word of caution: Peels work best on pale complexions. Darker tones should stick to very mild peels so discoloring doesn't occur.

Jennifer Aniston stepped onto the red carpet with cupping marks on her back. The first time I learned the term "cupping" was in 2004 when Gwyneth Paltrow showed up in photos with what appeared to be circular hickeys on her back. Recently Jennifer Aniston turned up on the red carpet with similar marks, piquing my interest once again. After all, if cupping was good enough for two of Brad Pitt's exes, then it must be good enough for me.

Cupping is not exactly new. It's an Eastern medicine practice that is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat everything from stiff necks and shoulders to respiratory problems. The belief is that when you have these problems, it's caused by blood that's stagnant, and the cupping helps get your blood circulation moving, not unlike a deep tissue massage.

On set, "It doesn't look like we're wearing a lot of makeup but we are," Dobrev says. To keep her skin clean, she washes off everything right away. "I don't wait until I get home. When I'm on set I'll use a makeup wipe and wash my face."

"On Vampire Diaries right now, they give us these hot towels, so once you've taken off your makeup, they open up the skin and let it breathe. Heat to open up the pores is really good, and applying moisturizer right afterwards really revives and hydrates
