Now Skinny Kelly Osbourne Decides On Laser Tattoo Removal

Even celebrity Kelly Osbourne would probably agree with this statement:

"Think before you ink!".

The now skinny British beauty has decided on laser treatment to get rid of some of the 15 tattoos she has on her body. She appeared as a guest on Chelsea Lately on the E! network last night.

Kelly also told the British Daily Mail that some of the tats were a "mistake,", inlcuding the one pictured here, depicting a keyboard on her arm, as well as a heart and crossbones on her wrist. You can see more of her ink here.

Kelly Osbourne has always been stylish and very fashion-conscious. And she is currently a co-host on E!'s Fashion Police with style critic Joan Rivers.

She is very happy having lost some 42 lbs. recently. And Kelly now has much better self-esteem. "When I was younger I really do think that tattoos were my way of self-harming because I really knew it would upset my mum and dad.

"I was miserable and I just went and got all these tattoos and I don't know why. One of them is a keyboard and I don't even know how to play a piano!"

Lots of rumors were circulating that the 25-year-old daughter of famous rocker Ozzy Osbourne is anorexic or using drugs to stay skinny. But the petite 5'2" star is doing nothing more than working out religiously and eating healthy. And what got the ball rolling, was Kelly's appearance on Dancing with the Stars last year, where she learned the discipline of dance.

Kelly Osbourne has still got those cute, chubby cheeks and adorable round face. She looks amazing. Check her out in a white, Grecian gown at the Governor's Ball, following the Emmy Awards show last August.

We are so happy for Kelly, not only because she is now skinny, but more importantly for the self-esteem and elegance she is gaining each day.

Keira Knightly Debuts New Bob At Chanel Show: Boring Or Fab?

The sleek, straight bob. Always classic and sophisticated. And British actress Keira Knightly took a front row seat at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 Read-to-Wear show in Paris on Tuesday, debuting the cut, and of course, showing off her amazing bone structure.

Okay, we personally are not a big fan of the bob. But then again, when you look like Keira Knightly, why not?!

So, is Keira's new 1920's style bob boring or fab?

The 25-year-old beauty got her brunette locks chopped off for one person. This is what she told InStyle magazine:

"I had my hair bobbed about a month ago, then I had it freshly trimmed again this morning," Keira says. She added that her hair was not cut for any particular movie role, instead saying: "I did it for myself."

We think Keira Knightly's new side-swept bob looks very Victoria Beckham. Another very stylish Brit.

And we like it when celebrities change their look again and again. Keira has had a pixie cut, heavy bangs, long, dark waves, and some blonde locks in the past. So we appreciate her chameleon beauty.

Meantime, Keira Knightly's been on the back of a motorcycle for a new Chanel Coco Mademoiselle fragrance ad. The commercial was filmed in Paris. And Keira has been the face of Coco Mademoiselle for four years now.

Say Bye-Bye To Lisa Rinna's Very Big Silicone-Inflated Upper Lip

This is big beauty news!!

Lisa Rinna has undergone upper lip reduction surgery. Yes, there is such a procedure, and plastic surgeons can create a smaller set of lips.

As the 47-year-old actress told People magazine recently, "My lips started to define who I am." And that is why she decided to undergo the procedure. "That bothered me."

We think that is wonderful news. Lisa Rinna is a very pretty woman, and those lips were a bit over-inflated.

Remember last year, when the former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant went public and finally admitted that in 1986, she had silicone injected into her upper lip – an impulsive decision she made with a girlfriend and likens to getting a tattoo – Rinna told People, "I took a big hit for being honest. It gave everyone online permission to lambaste me. It hurt my feelings."

She thought the public would have gone easy on her for coming forward, and the public reaction upset her immensely. So on August 26th, Lisa Rinna had surgery to downsize that very big upper lip. And at the moment, she feels great. Her mouth is still swollen from the procedure and will require six months to fully heal.

So, how do her lips look, post-surgery? Rather than feeling "bumpy and uneven … my lip has no lumps! It's smooth," Lisa says.

And Lisa Rinna is a busy bee these days. She's the star of TVLand's upcoming reality show Harry Loves Lisa (with husband Harry Hamlin).

Good for her. We can't wait to see her and her new upper lip.

Bleached Brows Big Again For Spring 2011: Silly Or Sexy Look?

Bleached brows are sneaking back in again on the runways. And that means for Spring 2011, the bleached, 'no-brow,' almost invisible frame for the eyes, is trying to become a mainstream look.

Well, is it a silly or sexy look?

During NY Fashion Week, designers like Marc Jacobs sent his models down the runway, wearing barely-there eyebrows, a very late 70's and early 80's glam, punk look.


We wrote about the bleached brow look, when the funky trend appeared on the runways a year ago. Apparently, the look is still hot.

But should you get in on this look?

What we always like to say: Just because you see it on the runway, doesn't mean it works here, in real life.

Whatever you do, do not shave off your eyebrows! You could bleach them yourself with Jolen creme bleach, if you really want in on this latest beauty trend (We used to do this years ago).


We, here at BeautyTipToday.com, have also written several articles on how to keep our eyebrows fuller and more natural
.
We have told you time and time again, that too much plucking, will yield scraggly, thin brows, by the time you reach your mid-30s to early 40s.

And our makeup legend friend, Sandy Linter, has been blunt about the whole brow plucking issue. She says the biggest beauty mistake she sees, are women with too-thin eyebrows. According to Sandy, that ages a woman immediately.

We have had pale brows and thin ones---huge mistake. We think the look is kind of vacant.

Then again...if you're under age 25, try it on.

How To Get Leighton Meester's Off-Camera Natural Look

We all adore her as Blair Waldorf, the rich, spoiled NY girl on TV's Gossip Girl. Everything about her speaks luxury, from her salon perfect hair to her polished high-end cosmetics.

But when 24-year-old Leighton Meester is off-camera, that means only minimal makeup.

Just recently, the star of Gossip Girl told InStyle magazine, that when she's not on television, she prefers a more natural look:

"Ill just use a little cheek stain, curl my lashes, and put on some lip balm and sunscreen."

So, let's take a look at how lovely Leighton Meester is keeping it real. Here are her favorite beauty products for that natural look:

1. Smith's Rosebud Salve ($6, at beauty stores like Sephora). "This is my desert island beauty pick. I use it all the time."

2. Benefit Benetint ($28, Sephora). "The most natural flush."

3. L'Oreal Paris Bare Naturale Mascara ($10, at drugstores). "One of my favorite buys because I can find it wherever I go."

4. Herbal Essences 'Tousle Me Softly' Spray Gel ($3, at drugstores). "Holds my style but still lets my hair move. Plus, it smells great."

5. Chanel Hydramax Active Gel Cream ($72, fine dept. stores). "Taking care of my skin is important. You've got to have a good base to play with makeup."

5. Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover ($26, at fine dept. stores). "This gets everything off--even stage makeup."

6. Custom-Blended Fragrance ($9, here). "It's my signature scent--white tea, fig, and sandalwood oils."

Great natural beauty tips, Leighton Meester!

Tyra Banks And 'Cheap Fishnet Stockings': Even Supermodels Make Mistakes

Our caption: When bad style happens to good supermodels.

There's Tyra Banks at Thursday evening's French Vogue 90th Anniversary Party in Paris.

The always glamorous television personality and former supermodel made one huge fashion faux pas, and it involved a pair of "cheap fishnet stockings". Oh yeah, Tyra got creative and made a face mask out of the stockings. Granted, she is quite a stunning woman at 36, but, maybe she should leave the avant garde look for the runways.

Everyone's talking about the Tyra Banks face mask, and well, none of it is complimentary. But in Tyra's defense, the invitation did say, 'masked ball', so, in reality, that's how the supermodel RSVP'ed.

Tyra has even been tweeting about her homemade mesh face mask:

"So FRENCH VOGUE mask is sum cheap FISHNET stockings I got n crazy store n Paris! I cut em up n made it y'all. N did my ow hair n makeup." 7:42 PM Sep 30th.

"I thought about keeping my homemade mask but this morn it looked like cut up insane stockings so I threw away.Photos will be the memories." about 19 hours ago Oct 1st.

"Wow! Was rushing 2 get ready 4masquerade party n thought my "fishnet stocking mask" was cheap. Saw credit card receipt. Cost was $100. !!!" less than 10 seconds ago Oct. 2nd.

Popular Tyra Banks has more than 2 million Twitter followers, so she is adored by many, with or without the "cheap fishnet stockings."

Oprah Tries To Make Point About Aging Beauties In Hollywood.

Oprah. When the talk show titan speaks, most women really listen.

But what was the point of Oprah's show yesterday? She had three famous actresses---youngest- Teri Hatcher, middle- Cybil Shepherd, and oldest- Lynda Evans. The attractive trio sat down with Oprah to discuss, aging, beauty, and what society expects when a woman gets older.

Frankly, we learned very little. We did get to see Teri Hatcher, Cybil Shepherd, and Linda Evans without makeup. Okay, that was a bit frightening, but very honest.

And we can only imagine how difficult it is for a Hollywood celebrity over 40 trying to maintain her looks and still play a significant role on television and in movies.

As the trio explained on Oprah yesterday, the fans expect celebrities to keep that perpetual and impossible appearance of beauty and youth. And that society worships young women and tosses the old for the new. Yeah, we get that. We've all known that for years.

The women say they have found that people tend to be disappointed by what they see in real life, because the public has become so used to seeing actresses as glossed-up cover models, which in reality, they are not. There's a lot of re-touching going on.

But Oprah did not go far enough. The only actress who was very honest about what she has done in the past to stay youthful, was Dynasty's Lynda Evans. She spoke about having a facelift at 50 because she wanted one and was seeing a man 12 years her junior, singer Yanni.

But has Oprah had any work done? Or used injectables like Botox or Juvederm? Why couldn't Oprah come clean?? Why didn't she press Cybil Shepherd further and Teri Hatcher, as well? And is it really a sin to use Botox?

We do expect, and probably foolishly, that our favorite celebrities stay gorgeous and young forever, but that's just the business they are all in. We also expect male celebrities to still look hot, and get disappointed when they are not. We think the same rules apply, although not as harshly.

Celebrities have a lot of money and resources to get the very best in anti-aging procedures and products. We don't think it's bad to try and stay healthy and attractive as we get into our 40s and beyond.

Look at Christie Brinkley, Helen Mirren, Sophia Loren, mama Kardashian Kris Jenner, and so many other women in the public eye. They are proof that women can still maintain sensible beauty when society tries to prove that they are beyond the so-called expiration date.

Salma Hayek Does Juice Cleanses To Melt Away Pounds: How About You?

Sexy actress Salma Hayek says she drinks them to shed pounds quickly. In fact, she believes so much in the detox diet, that she's the proud face of Cooler Cleanse.

"I’ve been doing juice cleanses for 15 years," she tells Us Weekly magazine. Now the movie star has teamed up with her friend and professional juicer Eric Helm to create Cooler Cleanse, a three- or five-day juice detox delivery program. ($58 a day). Detoxers consume less than 1,200 calories a day in six drinks, including almond milk and watermelon-lime. "I always lose weight," says Salma, who does light yoga during a detox.

And there are added benefits. More energy and healthier insides, according to Salma and those who believe in a liquid cleansing diet. She isn't alone, either. Slender celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, and Demi Moore have all admitted to detox diet cleanses. Some have gone on the detox drinks to get in super shape for a movie/tv role or to look slimmer for an upcoming red carpet event.

Most nutritionists and doctors pooh-pooh juice cleanses and any other kind of liquid diet because the calorie count is too low. Consider this--the recommended daily intake of calories hovers around 2,000 for a woman. Dieters will even go down to 1,400 calories. But that's the safe limit. The Cooler Cleanse is allegedly in risky territory at just 1,200 calories a day.

However, detox cleanses like the one Salma Hayek has put her name behind, only has the consumer in the program for 3-5 days, which isn't too long a time.

"My skin glows when I finish day three. And it inspires me to think about what I put in my body," Salma explains.

We think juice cleanses and other detox diets have their place in the world of staying slim, as long as the consumer follows the guidelines and doesn't abuse the program.

No One Wears Neutrals Better Than Demi--Hot Colors For Fall

Neutrals like camel, beige, taupe, grey, and charcoal, are not always easy to pull off in the world of fashion. But Hollywood's Demi Moore wears neutrals better than the rest. And for Fall 2010 into Spring 2011, this is the hot trend. Put your engines into neutral, ladies!

The actress has been putting on the neutrals for years now, with femininity and elegance. Stylists call this year's neutral fashions, a return to lady-like glamour.

We chose to feature Demi Moore, not only because she and Ashton Kutcher are making headlines these days, but for her sophisticated style evolution. The dark-haired actress and mom to 3 girls, has come a long way.

Demi Moore adores wearing a muted look on the red carpet, but in no way, are the colors she chooses ever boring or dowdy. She seems to favor nudes, taupes, and pale greys. And trust us, you won't fade into the background wearing neutrals. Instead, the look is a classic one, that never falls out of style.

Let's take a look. In the top center photo, Demi is wearing an Atelier Versace gown in buff. Oscars 2010.

In photo 2, we see Demi in a delicate nude chiffon Christian Dior gown. Golden Globes 2009.

In photo 3, the actress looks striking and sexy in a grey, beaded gown. 1995 event.

And in photo 4, Demi wows her fans in a taupe, one-sleeved Lanvin Spring 2010 dress. 2009 event. Demi was already ahead of the game, wearing it first.

Sometimes, a softer shade of color speaks volumes when it comes to fashion, makeup, and nails. And this season, is the time to try some.

Perricone Says Avocado Makes You Sexy And More Good Foods To Keep You Young

Avocados make you sexy?!

Let's put it this way.......if you believe anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone, then you would come to learn that this fleshy, yummy green fruit full of healthy fats, can actually increase libido. Hmmm. We eat one avocado a week. Need we say more?

Dr. Perricone has a new book out--Forever Young:The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age.

Why should we trust him?

Well, he is a best-selling NY Times author. Remember that one? The Wrinkle Cure. Even we have a copy.

And Dr. Nicholas Perricone brings science to the art of beauty. At least, this dermatologist tries really hard to find, through tons of clinical and laboratory research, ways to keep women looking young and healthy, hopefully, forever.

Hence...his newest book, Forever Young. The doctor made an appearance on Good Morning America today, revealing foods that keep you looking and feeling young. And the humble avocado is just one of his picks.

Here are more:

1. Cinnamon. Just an 1/8 of a teaspoon daily, can reap major benefits. Dr. Perricone says that this tasty spice regulates blood sugar, which helps keep skin wrinkle-free. Cinnamon also has strong properties that prevent dangerous melanoma(skin cancer).

2. Watercress. This leafy green veggie is packed with minerals and diuretic properties to help remove toxins from the body. It's believed to prevent against cancer as well as target eye and skin health. Dr. Perricone mentioned on GMA that watercress clears up acne, too.

3. Salmon and other cold water fish. The orange-colored oily fish is full of good protein, which the body needs to maintain and repair itself as we age. Salmon also features omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants that battle inflammation, keep skin looking young.

4. Chia seeds. The nutty, little snack is also packed with omega-3 fatty acids, to keep skin, heart and brain healthy. Chia seeds are also an excellent source for vitamin E and calcium.

5. Coconut oil. This is not a typo. Dr. Perricone prefers organic coconut oil, but claims this fat product contains important saturated fats that help strengthen cell walls. Coconut oil also works well with the thyroid to increase metabolism.

And there are more forever young foods to help you stay that way. Check out Dr. Perricone's new book, Forever Young: The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age.

Julianna Margulies Named Newest Face For L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics

'The Good Wife' has a very 'good life.'

Congratulations, Juliana Margulies! The star of the popular TV series has just been named the newest face for L'Oreal Paris.

The dark-haired beauty joins a prestigious 'umbrella' of celebrities who have represented the major cosmetics giant. Women like Penelope Cruz. Beyonce. Eva Longoria Parker. Diane Kruger. Andie MacDowell.

Julianna Margulies will represent L'Oreal's RevitaLift skin care line. And she's happy to show off her skin, because she has taken very good care of it over the years:

"I always have considered my skin [my best beauty asset] because I got lucky: I have small pores. I am also very pale so I have stayed out of the sun most of my life."

Really? Small pores? We hate her already. Pores that you can barely see, are hard to come by. Good genes, girlfriend.

L'Oreal's RevitaLift introduces its newest beauty product, Revitalift Complete SPF30 Day Lotion. The 14-product anti-aging line is based on Pro-Retinol.

The L'Oreal RevitaLift ads featuring Julianna in print and on TV, will begin showing in 2011.

And yes, Julianna Margulies really uses L'Oreal beauty products. According to Womens Wear Daily, here are a few of her faves:

Kerastase and EverStrong hair care, Revitalift Complete SPF 30 Day Lotion and Preference hair color.

"I remember the first time I heard [the tagline "Because You're Worth It]." I was young, and I said to myself, 'When I have money, I will buy beautiful products and feel I’m worth it,'" Julianna tells WWD.

Beauty Tips From Newest Desperate Housewives Star Vanessa Williams

Sexy Vanessa Williams is sure to bring a breath of sultry air to the set of television's Desperate Housewives show, when the new season airs tomorrow night on ABC. She is definitely worth tuning in for.

At age 46, Vanessa Williams remains a beautiful, healthy, youthful-looking woman. So, how does the talented actress and singer maintain her great appearance? Please...some beauty tips!

For one thing, Vanessa is a proud and unashamed user of Botox cosmetic. She adores the number one injectable in the U.S., because it keeps fine lines and wrinkles at bay, and gives her back a rested and refreshed look.

"Twice a year I receive Botox injections from a doctor whom I trust very much. I also have some favorite beauty products that I use on a daily basis – Perfekt’s Skin Perfection Gel and Mila Moursi’s moisturizing oil," Vanessa Williams told Essence magazine.

We love that about Vanessa. She's honest about her beauty routine, and not embarrassed to admit, that even Hollywood lovelies resort to cosmetic advancements like Botox:

"It’s no secret that I receive Botox cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of the two frown lines between my brows that look like an 11 and give me a tired or stressed appearance."

And the newest Desperate Housewives star also dishes about another beauty tip she's been trying. "My new obsession is this treatment I’ve been getting from The Goddess Repair Shop. It uses micro-currents to firm, detoxify, and metabolize fat. It’s just an amazing machine."

And the gorgeous actress also told Shape magazine, that she keeps her curves by shaking her booty, and by sticking to a work-out routine:

"I work out with a great trainer in New York, Sal Gaglio. I try to weight train at least once or twice a week. I hit the treadmill if I’m not training. I’ll do yoga when I have the time. Also, I do a lot of salsa dancing. That’s a great way to stay in shape and be social.".

As for diet, Vanessa Williams likes to keep it healthy. "Go fresh. Try to steer away from anything that’s pre-packaged, canned or processed. I crave chocolate and sometimes I indulge. But I listen to that little voice when it says stop because you’ll see it in a few days and you’ll have to do more work to get it off."

Can't wait for tomorrow night's Desperate Housewives season opener!

How To Get Big Thick Hair: Think got2b Fat-Tastic

Big, thick hair is back in a big way, especially for Spring 2011! NY Fashion Week was showing off big hair and bright lips, as you can see at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show.

And take a look at gorgeous model Kate Moss(top photo) and her sexy, big blonde hair setting the hot trend, like she always does, out in London earlier this summer.

If you weren't blessed with a perfect head of hair, don't worry. You can always fake it. You just need a super styling aid to achieve a big, crowning glory. And that's where got2b's new root volumizer steps in:

got2b Fat-tastic Mega-Lift Root-Boosting Spray (6 0z., $5.49, at drugstores).

Simply spray onto damp hair. Blow dry. And go. Walk out the door with some big, thick, shiny hair.

We love to look for the newest hair volumizing products out there, so we thought we'd highlight this one by got2b.

Other beauty trends for 2011----bleached brows, side parts, thick waves, curls and frizz, too.

Serena Williams Loves OPI And Essie Nail Polishes

Serena Williams, the number 1 tennis player in the world, has a super backhand. But have you ever noticed her super nails?!

We had no idea, that Serena was so into nails. In fact, the tennis great is almost a certified nail technician in the state of Florida. No kidding.

In her Global Grind blog, Serena wrote all about her passion for nails:

...."No one likes getting their nails done more than I do. As a matter of fact I go every four days to get a manicure and every seven days for a pedicure. So, I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech."

"Besides the fact that I am coming out with a nail collection from a company called HairTech, I thought 'Serena, this is a no-brainer'. Immediately after I came home from the Australian Open I researched some schools and enrolled in a course that allowed me to complete 240 hours... The night before my class I made sure I had all my tools, books and gear organized."

Don't think it's so easy becoming a nail tech, especially when you play tennis for a living and don't have a lot of time to spare. Serena has had to paint plenty of nails. "You need to do 240 hours---25 manicures, 40 acrylics, 20 pedicures," she explains in the August issue of Vogue magazine.

Here are Serena Williams' top ranked nail polish shades:

1. O.P.I. Vodka & Caviar. An elegant, rich crimson shade.

2. Essie Russian Roulette. A classic bright red with orange undertones.

The only nail shade Serena won't wear is blue, not flattering on her skin, she says.

Congrats to the world's most famous nail tech!

NY Fashion Week Trend: Gap-Toothed Smiles Were Center Stage

Model Lauren Hutton made gap-toothed smiles a rare and striking look back in the 1970s. And apparently, the hot trend at the moment, is a not-so-perfect smile, recently noted at NY Fashion Week.

Yes, this is for real. In fact, designers were seeking the space-between-the-teeth as a most coveted attribute for the runway. Even the well-respected and serious Wall Street Journal devoted an entire article on the glory of the gap:

"I think people want to see something different, something off," says casting director Natalie Joos, who chose such models for the runway shows of Lacoste and Cynthia Steffe this season.

And gap-toothed beauties, like curvy model Lara Stone are also hitting the fashion mags. Take a look at Lara, her ample bosom, and her signature smile on the stunning October cover of French Vogue's 90th anniversay issue. OMG!

In addition, Lara Stone at the young age of 26, is the face of Calvin Klein and was labeled "girl of the year" by Vogue U.K in 2009. And take a peek in this year's September issue---there's Lara beaming with her imperfect smile, in a 12-page editorial spread, her gapped front teeth on display in every single photo.

Celebrities like Madonna, Lauren Hutton, Vanessa Paradis, and Anna Paquin, are just a few lovely ladies who also refuse to fill up that natural space, that trendy gap.

We have to wonder, has the often snobby world of fashion and beauty, done an about-face, so to speak, and signaled to the masses, that absolute perfection is out of style?

We hope so. At the moment, anyway, a natural, physical flaw can seem like a good thing. "It's a love for the imperfect, and the authentic," says Stefano Tonchi, editor-in-chief of W magazine tells WSJ. "These are values that are more and more important for younger generations. Originality, authenticity…in a world that is more and more digitally enhanced."

And we thought that Invisalign braces were such a cool invention. You can kiss the orthodontist goodbye, for now.

Stephanie Seymour's Supermodel Beauty Tip: Epsom Salt

Stephanie Seymour. Her name and face have been in the news these days, so we thought we would take a look at the former supermodel and her super beauty tip involving Epsom salt.

We say, "Don't knock it, 'til you've tried it."

If anyone needs a long, hot bath, to soothe frazzled nerves and muscles, well, it's probably Stephanie Seymour. What was expected to feature a nasty, ugly divorce court battle with three children and $500 million at stake, has apparently, disappeared. In other words, Stephanie Seymour and billionaire husband Peter Brant have decided to stay together. The bitter divorce battle has been called off.

So, let's get down to beauty talk. The 41-year-old sexy mom and former Sports Illustrated hottie still looks fab in a bikini. That's she in a yellow one last March in St. Bart's.

Here's an interesting and inexpensive beauty tip today by Stephanie Seymour:

"Always keep at least two half-gallon containers of Epsom Salts in the house. They're only a couple of dollars each, and they're great to pour in the tub when our muscles ache. Or use the stuff the way the great spas do -- for exfoliation. Just take big handfuls and scrub your body," Stephanie told Cosmopolitan magazine.

Yeah. No kidding. Now, what exactly is Epsom salt?

Epsom salt is a pure mineral compound in crystal form, containing magnesium and sulfate. The crystals are formed from evaporated brine pools in the earths crust.

And Epsom salt really does a body good, according to the Epsom Salt Industry Council. Yes, there really is such an organization:

You can soak in it to soften skin and use it as a scrub to exfoliate rough patches. You can also soak in it to reduce the swelling and inflammation of body aches and pains.

"Soaking in warm water and two cups of Epsom Salt is all you need after a tough workout or a hard day," says Lori Katz, President of the non-profit Epsom Salt Industry Council based in Nutley and East Rutherford, N. J.

"Super- model Stephanie Seymour can use anything in the world for exfoliation and aches, yet she sticks with the basics and uses Epsom Salt."

Check out the Epsom Salt Industry Council for more super beauty recipes for healthy skin.

New Study Proves Moisturizer Alone Can Slow-www Down Wrinkles

Ladies, one simple step in your skin care routine can save your face in the long run. Moisturizer. Yes. A simple moisturizer can prevent wrinkles.

Don't believe us? Well, maybe you will be impressed by this---an 8-year study by the respected British Journal of Dermatology did the research. In the study, photos of more than 100 hundred women's faces, between the ages of 10 and 72, were taken. And more importantly, the moisture of their skin was measured at the beginning and end of the 8-year study. The findings were recently published in the journal.

The results found that women with the highest levels of moisture, developed 30% fewer wrinkles than those with a drier complexion.

That's quite amazing to us. But those with dry skin, should especially heed the information coming from the research. Dry skin is more fragile than that of oily skin. A parched complexion has a tougher time trying to 'rebound' from repetitive facial expressions, experts says. So, this skin type needs extra TLC.

In other words, under the normal aging process, dry skin more than doubles the speed at which wrinkles develop, the study claims.

A typical 28-year-old woman with dry skin will have 52 percent more lines by the time she reaches 36. But if her skin is well hydrated the wrinkles would increase by just 22 percent at age 36, researchers

Let's face it....we all age, and yes, we all sag and wrinkle over time. But if applying a simple moisturizer with an SPF in the morning, and again at night, can give you less wrinkles, then why wouldn't you just do it?!

Our Beauty Tip Today: Daily use of a moisturizer can help cut wrinkles significantly.

Women Need More Protein In Diet To Stay Skinny

It's a simple known fact: Women don't get enough protein in their diets.

And for those of you counting calories, day in and day out, you know that most proteins pack on a few more calories than fruits and veggies will. So.......many women drop the protein because they think it's more fattening.

But today, we're telling you to enjoy some protein, because the experts tells us, you need it in your diet to stay skinny.

We saw a great article in the October issue of Women's Health magazine. And we have learned that protein = weight loss and your key to staying skinny:

"The moment it leaves your fork, protein starts winnowing your waistline. High protein foods take more work to digest, metabolize, and use, which means you burn more calories processing them."

And when you consume protein foods, they take a longer time to leave your belly, so you feel full sooner, and for a longer time.

Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen Getting Dissed For Style And Attitude

Some people think that Taylor Momsen, one of the stars of television's Gossip Girl, dresses trashy. Her trademark heavily-rimmed raccoon eyes, visible garter straps and sheer black thigh highs are part of her uniform naughty girl look.

The E! channel's Joan Rivers and company recently laughed at Taylor's ensemble in an episode of its new weekly Fashion Police show, remarking that one couldn't tell the difference between the outfit of a prostitute and one worn by Taylor Momsen. Ouch!!

So what?! Taylor Momsen doesn't care what you really think. The blonde-haired beauty admits that ,"I dress like a 'high-class hooker.' That's what she recently told Spin magazine.

"I dress for myself," Taylor explains. "Clearly, it's provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I'm 17, then that person's a scumbag because it shouldn't matter."

She also blasted the rock-and-roll look, remarking, "People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f...in' leather jackets, and it's really annoying." The Gossip Girl actress also fronts a band.

Project Runway's Tim Gunn recently shot a guest spot as himself on the fourth episode of this season's Gossip Girl. And he found 17-year-old actress Taylor Momsen to be "sad" and "pathetic." Thank goodness that Tim Gunn didn't pick on Taylor's style. We're sure, he would not be at a loss for words. Instead, he spoke about the actress' attitude.

"What a diva!" he told E! News. "She was pathetic, she couldn't remember her lines, and she didn't even have that many. I thought to myself 'why are we all being held hostage by this brat?"

Call her what you will, but young Taylor Momsen is laughing all the way to the bank. Madonna is happy to have Taylor as the face of her daughter Lourdes' new fashion line, 'Material Girl.'

And it doesn't stop there. Oh, no! Taylor Momsen has also been named as the face of John Galliano's new perfume, Women's Wear Daily reports. The scent is sent to launch this fall.

Does girlfriend need a stylist, and fast? Is it hooker chic or hooker shriek? Or are folks just too harsh on the young, attractive actress?

What do you think?

Snooki Ditches Pouf For Big Girl Bangs: Beauty Trend For Fall 2010

Even the Jersey Shore's pint-sized cutie is riding the beauty trend for fall 2010:

Blunt bangs. And Snooki's got some, too. The reality star flattened her trademark pouf for a new sleek style with some pretty blunt bangs. Yes, bangs are still hot and rockin' for fall 2010. Blunt bangs were on the runway at Lanvin. And celebrities like Jennifer Hudson, Lea Michele, and Kim Kardashian have been toying with bangs, as of late. Kim says hers are clip-ons. And we know that Snooki's bangs are the real deal.

Snooki's stylist Antonio Rosa, owner of Senses New York Salon & Spa tells UsMagazine.com, that the dark-haired MTV-star was a bit hesitant at first:

"She hadn't done bangs since she was a child," says Rosa. "She was very, very nervous, but she loved them. She said she hoped she could get used to it. We changed her color to her natural color and added some blonde highlights on the side. She actually has amazing hair, and we used all organic coloring. It took about five hours.".

We think Snooki looks chic and modern, and all-grown-up, which was the main reason to ditch the pouf, at least for a while:

"It’s definitely a new look, but I think it’s a good look that suits me," Snooki tells People magazine. "I want to look more mature. The pouf—I’ve been wearing it since I was 16, so why not switch it up?"

Who else will join the blunt bang bandwagon this fall 2010?!

Jewel Sings On AGT Last Night With New Brighter Straighter Smile

Jewel sang a duet with 'America's Got Talent' newly crowned winner Michael Grimm at last night's finale. The singer looked and sounded quite beautiful. And did anyone else notice this----Jewel has a new, brighter, straighter smile!

Does Jewel have lumineers? Did she wear invisible braces a year ago? Did she have her teeth capped? Did she simply have her smile cosmetically whitened?

Hard to tell. Take a look at the wonderful duet here on YouTube. What do you think? All we know, is that your smile and teeth do matter.

Jewel has always been recognized for her good looks and natural beauty. But the pretty blonde talent had also been criticized for years, for not fixing her snaggle tooth and not getting the typical Hollywood set of perfect, fake, dazzling white teeth.

The so-called snaggle tooth is located in the upper right mouth, third tooth in.

Her smile today, looks so much lovelier. And according to the research we dug up, Jewel actually did a couple of small, conservative procedures to her teeth:

This from In Your Face by the Orange County Register:

"Cosmetic dentist Dr. Veda Faith Afsahi of Fountain Valley says Jewel did not actually straighten her teeth. Instead, Afsahi said, she apparently had a “very conservative treatment” that makes the teeth look straighter.

Here’s what Afsahi thinks Jewel has done:
She definitely whitened her teeth and placed a porcelain veneer/crown over the very crooked tooth on the left of the picture. She then “cosmetically contoured” (shaped the edges) of the other surrounding teeth."
