That one about how we all need more vitamin D? Or that the damage was done by the time we turned 18? These tanning and skin cancer myths aren't just wrong - they can do serious harm. Wise up and head into a healthier future. P.S. You'll look a lot younger too. By Cara Litke Sullivan, REDBOOK.

When George Harrison wrote "Here Comes the Sun" back in 1969, he probably wasn't thinking about forehead wrinkles or suspicious-looking moles. And for all the scary UV facts out there today, there's no denying that sunshine still equals happiness: family vacations, barefoot walks on the beach, warmth after the long, cold winter. While we know why we should avoid the sun-it's the number-one cause of signs of aging and directly linked to skin cancer, which is on the rise-most of us are guilty of convincing ourselves that catching a few rays can't do much harm. Major mistake, skin docs and scientists say, though they also realize that no one wants to park it indoors on a cloudless 80-degree day.

Do you really want to know what makes a hairstylist cringe? Are you sure? Sometimes the truth stings a bit but people ask me all the time for my opinions, so here goes. I talked with a few other stylists and we are in agreement. These offenses wreck the most havoc in terms of hair health. They are the 7 deadly sins of haircare as we see it, from our side of the chair. - By Sonya Leebenham

Not long ago, Hawaiian Tropic was known for two things: tanning oil and beauty pageants. Those days are over.

On Tuesday, the brand announced the retirement of their famous bikini contests, first launched in 1983. That means no more oiled up fitness models in neon string bikinis competing for the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic on beaches across the world.

What you really need to know about sunscreen

The reason? Women. “The bikini contest wasn’t resonating with our target female consumers,” Danielle Duncan, Hawaiian Tropic Brand Manager, tells Yahoo Shine. With women making up 70 percent of the brand's users, that was a problem. The solution, according to Duncan, was to reinvent product offerings "to appeal to today’s Hawaiian Tropic women.”  

That means saying goodbye to yesterday's Hawaiian Tropic women. Known as a slightly raunchier version of Miss Universe, the Tropic pageants rose to popularity in the '90s, but faded from a national spotlight in recent years. Since 2008, the

Aphrodita Kabashi has a surprisingly calm demeanor for someone who's just had her face injected 120 times in 25 minutes. Maybe it's because she's in the hands of Fredric Brandt, the sought-after New York-and Miami-based dermatologist known for keeping Hollywood's A-list faces looking ageless. Kabashi, a 38-year-old New Yorker and a manager of the chic Garren New York salon, is visiting Brandt for her first LaViv treatment-a breakthrough antiaging procedure that promises to eliminate wrinkles and smooth skin by injecting a patient's own amped-up collagen-producing cells into problem areas. A self-proclaimed sun worshipper, Kabashi says she wants to erase years of UV damage and have a glowing complexion without it looking unnatural. Brandt is the go-to doc for LaViv, having worked as a principal investigator on the clinical trials that led to FDA approval. "Aphrodita is the perfect LaViv candidate because she has sun damage, large pores, and fine lines around her mouth and

1. Multi-task with blush
After sweeping blush on your cheeks, brush a tad into the creases of your eyes, says makeup artist Maggie Kerr. "A small bit of color harmonizes your overall look and wakes up your eyes as well." She recommends pinks and peaches, which gives nearly everyone a healthy appearance. Try Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Glisten ($26, amazon.com).

2. Stock up on the proper tools
To add color around your eyes, consider using a fluffy ponytail brush like MAC #217 ($21, amazon.com). "Not only does it gently pop color into your crease, but it also blends your eye shadows to prevent raccoon eyes," says Kerr. She calls on this multi-tasking tool to buff out concealer under the eyes - that's three brushes for the price of one.
