4 Beauty Tips From Kristin Davis
Ever since we first saw Kristin Davis burst into the scene as the conniving Brooke Armstrong on the original Melrose Place, followed by her portrayal of the sophisticated, yet naive, Charlotte York on Sex and the City, I think we've all been mesmerized by her stunning, ageless looks. In fact, many of you agreed that the actress barely looks a day older than when she first became famous back in the mid-'90s. When it comes to beauty, there's no doubt Kristin, now 44, has got some fountain-of-youth secrets to spill.
Bellissima! Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar
I had no idea that a bar of clay could be a panacea to so many different skin ailments, but Fresh's Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar ($38) does the job. Umbria is a clay-rich region in Italy, and the treatment bar is made from pure clay. It has the appearance of soap, but once you feel it, you'll see that it's chalky, hard and much heavier and more fragile than soap.
Beauty Mark It! Recession Obsessions
After last week's challenge where I asked you to "get your splurge on," I thought it would be fun to do the exact opposite and honor these times we call recession. So for this week's challenge, it's all pinching pennies; I'm talking products under $10.
I'll start you off with the cult favorite, Smith's Rosebud Salve.
Should The Government Pass Legislation On Nail Salon Safety?
Another story has come out about the health hazards of working at a nail salon. Prolonged exposure to chemicals has been linked with skin rashes, respiratory problems and cancer. For instance, manicurist Lam Thi Le says that she was diagnosed with thyroid problems two years after working in a nail salon; she was later diagnosed with breast cancer.
Michelle Pfeiffer on Beauty
How does Michelle Pfeiffer stay so stunningly beautiful? Not with extensive beauty routines, according to a new interview. Instead of opting for drastic plastic surgery or spending tons of money on fancy face creams, she has a low-maintenance approach to beauty.
Meet The First Woman To Get Silicone Implants
After learning that half of you would consider getting breast implants if the procedure were simple, I thought you might be interested in this profile (NSFW) of Timmie Jean Lindsey, the Texas woman who was the first to have breast implants. It's an interesting look into the history of cosmetic surgery, especially considering how little information this woman had compared to the women of today. The cynic in me suspects that Timmie was offered the chance to be a guinea pig because she was a poor high-school dropout working a low-paying job to take care of her six children—especially because she wasn't after a bigger bosom in the first place.
SPF For Your Skin Type: Dry Skin
Summertime is here and that means playing away in the surf and sand. You wouldn't want to spoil the fun with a bad sunburn, a rash or—heaven forbid—a reaction to an SPF now would you? Here are some amazing sunscreens suitable for dry skin.
Rose Lip Balms Rule!
Our lips have some of the thinnest cover on our entire body. They are super sensitive to the environment since they don't produce any moisture on their own. Therefore, as soon as we feel a crack, or a patch of dryness, our lips become extra sensitive.
