SUGAR and HONEY They sweeten up your cereal and biscuits, but did you know they can get you on your way to glowing skin and lips? SUGAR, Sugar!... Just regular table sugar (the kind you would pour on your Cheerios) is a cheap, natural, and effective…

I thought that at-home tanning beds are as outdated (and bizarre) as Michael Jackson's personal oxygen chamber.
Nuh-uh! The New Yorker reported that Sarah Palin has...

If you've ever had a self tanner mishap (orange streaks ring a bell much?), then you might have sworn off trying to alter your skin color for life. Then again, if you've ever had an A1 totally successful experience made in self tanning heaven, you know that a golden hue does make your skin look perfectly even toned and maybe even just a little bit Sophia Loren-esque, just a little.

Are you planning on wearing shorts/a skirt/a bathing suit/exposing any flesh this weekend? I am. And quite frankly, I feel scared. My skin is WHITE. Not like pretty, ivory Nicole Kidman white. No, we're dealing with Philip Seymour Hoffman pale-with-blotchy-specks-of-red-fire white. It is not, in a word, hot. And I know, I should be all "love yourself for who you are", "who cares about pasty legs, we're at war." But instead, I just want to use a bit of fast, non-streaky self-tanner and look a teeny tiny bit bronze. Sue me.
I've rounded up some quick-fix products below. All I've used myself or have come on very good recommendations (oh and for best results your legs should be shaved and your skin exfoliated first)... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (20) | Blog

I know so many women (myself included, at one
time in my life), that see a trip to a beach destination as not only an
opportunity to relax, go swimming, spend some time on the beach playing
with family and friends, and all that other good stuff, but also as
some kind of vanity project--as in,... Read More »

As much as I have been a lifelong fan of Clinique, it is with a heavy heart that I must report that while I've been trying to adore their Self-Sun Touch of Bronze Moisturizing Body Lotion, it has fallen short of my expectations. One word: streaking (and I'm not talking about Will Ferrell in... Read More »

Normally I wouldn't cover something just because a publicist sent it to me, but I have an insane crush on Jergens, particularly its new Natural Glow Express moisturizer/self-tanner. I started trying it about a month ago and it is sooo good—it made my super-pasty winter-in-New-York legs actually look like I'd been to the beach for a week. Even my male best friend, a serious tan person, has been using it instead of going to the tanning bed (a horrible habit, he knows).
Anyway, Kristen Bell, she of Veronica Mars and the new movie that I've seen everywhere (and it's not even out for another week), Forgetting Sarah Marshall, has teamed up with Jergens and The Skin Cancer Foundation for a campaign about the dangers of being a tanorexic. It's oddly called “Glow in the Dark,” which means, I think, that you don't need to fry yourself in order to have a healthy glow. Bell has pledged to “Glow in the Dark” this summer, use tons of SPF protection and not sun. If you join her... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (5) | Blog

A few years ago, Jergens came out with its Natural Glow moisturizer and people went B-A-N-A-N-A-S, bananas. It made you look so, well, healthy, and pretty and like you'd went to Miami for the weekend in 1963 and wore your hat just half the time. Problem was, it took nearly a week of applications...
