Hot Beauty Ingredient: Argan Oil

What's the hottest new beauty ingredient of 2009? Argan oil. Never heard of it before? Well, you will soon since it's being used in all sorts of products from masks, moisturizers, balms, and body butters. Known for its miraculous healing and moisturizing properties, argan oil has proven to reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles resulting in an overall improvement in the skin's surface. This hard-to-find oil is from the argan tree located in a remote region south of Morocco, and is notoriously difficult to harvest, making it one of the most expensive oils on earth (take that Creme de la Mer). One of my favorites is Elemis Pro-Collegen Quartz Lift Mask ($81 at timetospa.com), it's like a take home facial that gives you that ten-year-younger face lift look and baby soft skin. PRIORI makes a great CoffeeBerry Body Emulsion ($70 at Prioriskincare.com) that tightens and firms your legs and body while reducing signs of aging. Looking for something good for you and the community? Then Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Skin Salve with Fairly-Traded Argan Oil ($25 at Kiehls.com) is the thing for you. Plus, it can even be used on your nails to soften cuticles and your hair to smooth split ends! Is there anything this miracle oil can't help?

Summer Style: Self-Tanners for Under $10 Guaranteed to NOT Turn You Orange!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends say they won't try self-tanning because they're scared of streaking or turning orange. But what they don't realize is that self-tanning products have come light years since the days of Tang-tinged skin and tiger stripes. The advances over the last few years have ushered in an array of products that will leave even the most timid girl a believer. I myself happen to be a self-tanning addict. I'll slather the stuff on like body lotion and not give it a second thought. And while I'll be the first to admit I might have the occasional uneven application or dark spot, I've never had a day where I couldn't show my face (or arms) in public, even with my haphazard application! What small streaks or spots I might incur are so small and unnoticeable and that anyone who gives their application the smallest care (unlike me) will be left with a near-flawless application. So, what are these glorious sun-kissed products I swear by? I'm glad you asked. My go-to self-tanning products are listed below, and the best part? They're all under $10. Click on the slideshow and I'll tell you more!
