If a friend was to tell us she used soap to clean her face, we'd probably shutter at the thought of dry, irritated skin. After all, didn't her mama teach her soap was bad for her skin?

The Clarisonic is one of the hottest items on wishlists for this holiday season. It's a pretty big ticket item, but if you're feeling lucky, Fortune might smile upon you: there is a three-way Clarisonic giveaway happening in the next week!

We pretty much take for granted that most Hollywood hotties of a certain age have probably had Botox injections to keep their faces free of lines. But, how young is too young for a woman to start having the procedure done? And, more importantly, at what age do doctors begin suggesting it?

Not all that many celebrities cop to using Botox, although we know many of them have. Women in their 40s and 50s don't just magically not have wrinkles. They just don't. But, Courteney Cox is not only admitting she's had Botox -- she says it made her miserable and hampered her acting skills.

Even though you may not know her name yet, there is an excellent chance that you've already been blown away by the mad makeup skillz of Mezhgan.

If you've ever watched the transformation of a pretty, but unpolished, local girl into a glamorous celebrity chanteuse on American Idol, then you've seen her magic, making real people look good enough for HDTV cameras.

It's here. It's organic. It will make you prettier than you are currently. It's Stella McCartney Care.

No petrochemicals or chemical preservatives. No genetically modified ingredients. No animals parts involved, no animals abused, tested only on a selection of rocks and sticks who, after a series of questions, were determined to be willing participants.

We probably love chocolate a little bit... okay a lot. We love chocolate a lot. As you've probably been hearing, the antioxidants packed in dark chocolate is as beneficial as drinking a glass of red wine every day. But that's not the only way you can use the yummy cocoa bean to your advantage.

The dark stuff is also a good moisturizer, meaning, you can chop, mix, and melt it into a creamy mask that will replenish your skin and leave a beautiful glow behind.

What you will need...

So, you want to pluck your eyebrows. Good for you. We support that.

Those little hairs are hard to see, and finding the right lighting can be quite the drama. You think you're done, but then you catch yourself in the kitchen mirror and realize that in another light, you're still Frida.

Witness a pair of tweezers with a bright white light built in. Genius!

Do you have a man face? Most men do. It's a fact.

Gessato Face Treatment's cell regeneration complex is a lightweight serum to help keep that man face as boyish as possible. It provides protection for the neck and face, which is nice, but it is also an agent for active rejuvenation. It's kind of like the fountain of youth in a small pump.

There are a bunch of vitamins in the formula, as well as ingredients we have trouble spelling. Together they help rebuild the skin's complex defense system and smooth out wrinkles by naturally hydrating the face and neutralizing the actions of free radicals. Do we sound smart when we say stuff like that?

Gessato Face Treatment "improves skin tone and hones the neckline, reducing the unsightly effects of double chin." That alone is worth the purchase.

We've been using the serum for a few weeks now (as well the shaving treatment), and we've got to admit- it's good. Yes, we still act like we're James Bond when we call it 'serum' and sometimes we pretend it will self-destruct if we don't apply it in a downwards motion, but that's okay if we act a bit boyish, or face will back us up.

No we don't mean Jay-Z's record label or the Republic of China. We mean ROC skincare. As the website clearly states it has been "the skin care leader in France since 1957," and we believe it. Though many products come and go from our insanely full medicine cabinet, ROC has been a staple. Just stopping usage for a few weeks in between purchases we saw the difference and it wasn't pretty. Now we stockpile ROC and *fingers crossed* will look as good as those zexy French ladies do.

Here's a little taste of what this award winning (plenty of "Best of's" in Self, Allure, etc.) line has to offer you.

If you're just now searching the internet for sunscreen it may be too late. Drink some water and go to bed, you've got some healing to do.

However, if you are on the left coast and have yet to burn, or have further sun-filled plans for the weekend, let us suggest Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion, or as we like to call it, 'the good stuff.'

A.C.P.S.L. is specially formulated for the face, meaning it won't clog your pores. That's a relief. It's bad enough being in a swimsuit in public without having to worry about pending pimples.

Sure the eyebrow shape your mama gave you is just the right one for your face. That doesn't mean there isn't a little clean up involved to keep them looking right.

It's a sad fact that some people go so insane with plucking that they have to paint their eyebrows on (why, why, why!?) while others are so unkempt that their uni-brow can be seen from space.

Many of us gals have been the victim of expired cosmetics. Here's the scenario. After seeing pics of that smokin' gloss we used to wear in high school, we rush to our beauty closet only to open the tube to a rank stank that we don't understand. Most beauty products do not have any smell, or if they do, it is very faint. If you start noticing some product BO, it's because that favorite gloss is dying a slow, bacteria-invested death in that dark, tightly sealed tube. Once the product has peaked, it can cause some pretty gross irritations or infections if used. To avoid all of the above, follow these general toss time guidelines.

Did we fall asleep and dream ourselves back into the 90's when Claire Danes was the envy of teenage girls for kissing Leo DiCaprio in Romeo and Juliet and hanging out with dreamy Jordan every day on My So Called Life? We're not sure, but apparently Miss Danes is still celebrity enough to land a huge contract with Gucci.

Are you looking to update your skin care products or makeup now that the summer sun is starting to shine? Before you end up with a drawer full of fancy new products, make sure you know what your skin truly needs.

This article, at Divine Caroline, gives the lowdown on how to read and evaluate your skin. The type of products you use should be based on your skin type, so you need to know whether your skin is sensitive or not, as well as whether it is dry, oily, normal, or combination.
