When it comes to preserving your youth, there are a few sure-bets: Eat well, wear SPF, exercise more regularly than you drink and take good care of your hair. While the last one might surprise you, studies show that having a thick, shiny mane is an indicator of being at your peak. And the reverse is true as well - hair that's a bit worn out or damaged can add years to your look. Luckily, you can turn back the clock on your locks without lasers or injections. From shampoos that eliminate toxins to vitamin-enhanced thickening treatments to color-reviving masks, the latest anti-aging fixes will restore your hair to its past (and present) perfect condition.

Is Your Fragrance Wrong for You?

The condition of dry skin can be a result of environment, aging, diet and heredity, or a combination of all these factors. The outer most layer of the skin is the protective barrier for the underlying tissue and called the stratum corneum. Water holding is a function of this protective barrier of the tissue. One way to improve hydration of dry skin would be to improve the skin function on the outer layer in dry skin by increasing ceramide (lipid molecules) levels in the stratum corneum, in the epidermis and in keratinocytes.

ARRESTAGE Laboratories has a new phytoceutical agent in it's latest ultra-moisturizing formulas, that has demonstrated a beneficial effect on elevating the capabilities water holding within the cells of the stratum corneum. Altering the biosynthesis of some cellular components of the skin's outer barrier is just the beginning. Using liposomes formed with nanotechnological crème bases, ARRESTAGE has collagen remodeling actives that penetrates the stratum

A REAL post pregnancy belly! Babble did a callout on their Facebook page for photos of postpartum bellies. Only a few people submitted them and when I asked my friends, promising their identity would remain secret, only one sent me a photo, while the others responded in all caps, "NO WAY."

You guys … if we don't show what real bellies look like then people are going to go on believing that everyone else has a nice, firm, flat tummy with no imperfections.

We all know this is a lie.

This is me 9 weeks after my second baby. I took this as a "before" photo when I started a diastasis rehab regimen.

First of all, before you start thinking, "But she doesn't have any stretch marks! Of course I would show my belly if I didn't have any stretch marks!" I say yes, I do have stretch marks. They are on my sides rather than the front. ALSO, I may have gotten off without stretch marks on my stomach but my mark of pregnancy appears on my face in the form of a bright red rash. My face is

The NFL's most devoted fans show off their ink...The weekend is tantalizingly close and it seems like just about everyone is gearing up for Sunday's big game. While you're out gathering your favorite snacks to stock your fridge and making that extra beer run (you know, just in case), perhaps you'd also like to get a tattoo?

Football fans are some of the most dedicated sport enthusiasts out there. Is it any surprise that some of them are willing to permanently ink a display of their devotion for their favorite team on their bodies?

Check out the questionable way these diehard football fans chose to display their support:

I was loving the braid-as-headband look she was rocking. And she was just one of several celebs sporting the look that night --

Kaley Cuoco, Busy Philipps, and Renee Bargh all wore crown braids as well (you can see all of the looks here), and I honestly can't decide which of them looked best.

This is a lovely look for spring and summer, and it's actually fairly easy to do yourself, particularly if you have longer hair.

If you have shorter hair, you might just want to invest in a braided headband that closely matches the color of your own hair.

YouTube has several great tutorials on crown braids. Check them out after the jump -- then tell me in the comments if you'll try this look out!

kyra sedgwickKyra Sedgwick and her new tattoo wowed on the red carpet at of the Screen Actors Guild awards last night. The Closer star stunned in an orange Pucci dress, the cut-outs of which perfectly showed-off her fresh ink. Kyra told Giuliana Rancic of E! that her tat is a "family tattoo" -- it has the initials K, K, S, and T in a rectangle, standing for Kyra, husband Kevin Bacon, son Travis, 22, and daughter Sosie, 19.

I suppose if she was going to get inked, a tattoo that symbolizes the connectedness of her family is a sweet gesture.

It's probably better than getting just her husband's initials tattooed on her body -- that seems to be the kiss of death. One minute you're in love and want his name on your body, the next your scrambling to find an artist you can turn the word "Kevin" into a canoe floating on a sea of solitude.

Find out our Valentine's crushes...Roses wilt and chocolates never last (at least in my house…I have no willpower!), but beauty products can leave you feeling pretty long after Valentine's Day!

In my quest to concoct a romantic recipe of glittery gloss, glowing skin, and starry eyes, I've been dabbing, swirling, and smoothing every product I can get my hands on. Here are some beauty treats that make me weak in the knees for Valentine's Day:

*PixiGlow: Pixi Beauty and Disney have teamed up to "re-imagine" Tinker Bell. Basically, if Tink was a beauty junkie (And let's be serious, why wouldn't she be? We already know this chick loves sparkle!), chances are these products would be on her vanity. The sweet, girly packaging brings me back to my Bonne Bell days, but the actual products are oh-so-grown up. Right now, I'm crushing on:
