Reality check - the #1 giveaway of your age isn't your face, it's your hands. Bethenny's skin wizard, Dr. Howard Sobel, says, "Like any other part of the body, the skin on the hands loses its elasticity. The hands are especially affected because of constant exposure to the sun and the environment."
Then there are those gross veins that make fingerless gloves look like a better option every day. "We lose fat in our hands as we age, which makes those blood vessels more noticeable and makes the hands look older."
Even women who take care of their skin often neglect the skin on their hands… but that's where Dr. Sobel's tips come in handy!
As excited as we are to hit up the beach, there's definitely some grooming to be done beforehand. However, the cost of bikini waxes, pedicures, and spray tans can really add up! To help a sister out, we've rounded up a few budget-friendly beauty tips to keep you primed and polished:
1. Protect Your Polish
Extend the length of your mani/pedi by applying a pure oil directly on your cuticles and nail beds each night before you go to sleep. Try Repêchage Essential Oil of Seaweed. It's full of Vitamin E, and will prevent peeling and splitting.
2. Pool-Proof Your Products
Reapplying makeup and sunscreen each and every time you come out of the water is such a waste! Make the most of your products (and your time) by investing in waterproof picks. The Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF is an all-in-one, water-resistant foundation, concealer, and sunscreen.
3. Extend Your Wax
A good bikini wax is definitely a summer must. Instead of booking a second appointment at the

Your Shower To-Dos
Before you even turn on the faucet, use the pads of your fingers to gently massage your scalp using a technique that mimics squeezing an orange. Elizabeth Cunnane Phillips, a trichologist at the Philip Kingsley Clinic in New York City, says, "Palpating the scalp increases blood flow and kick-starts the exfoliation of pores that harbor excess sebum." Use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner loaded with rice or wheat protein, which strengthens and expands the diameter of the hair shaft. And remember, your roots are naturally hydrated by scalp oils, so only condition ends.

Boost Body for Now
To pump up the volume, eschew sticky hairspray and set your style with a starch-based dry shampoo, which is formulated to zap slippery sebum and lift hair right at the roots. Swear off styling products loaded with heavy waxes and silicones, which will only make lifeless locks

It's true that your eyebrows are a very important part of your face, acting as a frame for your eyes and balancing out other features. It's also true that we're currently in a period of thick brows. Gone are the thin little twigs made popular by silent film stars (although looking back, they probably would have been able to portray emotion even better with thicker eyebrows) that made a strong comeback in the late nineties. The strong, bold, Brooke Shield and Jennifer Connelly-inspired look is in.

So what are you supposed to do if you plucked your brows into oblivion before realizing that it's not about the thick or thinness of the moment, but more about a strongly defined framework that works best for your face? Well, we just got a press release that proposes quite the radical solution: eyebrow transplants. Yes, a surgical procedure similar to that of a hair transplant. We won't go into the details, but

Digital StudioRed lipstick has been a popular choice for Zoe Saldana during her whirlwind Star Trek Into Darkness premiere tour, but the sanguine hue she paired with her daring Rodarte number in Los Angeles made the biggest impact yet! "As soon as I saw the dress, I knew we had to go with a red lip," said her makeup artist Vera Steimberg, who chose Laura Mercier's Creme Smooth Lip Color in Hollywood. "I wanted to create a chic, French-inspired look for Zoe." Because the striking color can bring out redness in your complexion, take extra time to conceal any imperfections so that your lips remain the focal point.
