Enhance your beauty from the inside out

Put a little beauty back in your life, one week at a time. Here are 10 tips from Woman's Day magazine:

• Get the most out of a deep conditioning treatment by squeezing excess water from your hair before applying. This allows it to effectively penetrate the hair shaft.

• Quit smoking (or persuade a friend to). Besides the many health hazards, smoking accelerates the presence of fine lines and wrinkles that pop up as we age -- and really, who needs that?

• Get a glowing complexion by eating more salmon (it's packed with skin-boosting omega-3s).

• Recruit a beauty buddy and make monthly mani-pedi appointments together to catch up.

• Lock in moisture. Turn the water temperature in the shower to warm, not hot (yes, even in the winter) to prevent stripping the skin of its natural oils.

• Load up on vitamin C, a potent antioxidant found in broccoli, red peppers, citrus fruits and strawberries, to keep skin healthy and prevent collagen from breaking down. read more...
