Over the weekend Serena Williams defeated her older sister (and defending champion) Venus to win the Wimbledon women's title.

And because those Williams sisters are amazing athletes and entrepreneurs, Serena has announced that she's launching a skincare line with the sporty skin company Mission.

Her collection is called "Mission Skincare Active-Beauty Line: Featuring Serena Williams." The products were developed with a dermatologist to fight free radical damage and prevent skin aging with vitamins and antioxidants.

If you think about it, a tennis star is sort of the perfect person to help create a skincare line -- Serena is in the sun all the time and needs a routine that can help reverse some of that inevitable damage.

Low SPF Doesn't Protect Skin - StyleLIES

We recently got to test out Korres' Wild Rose Cream SPF 6. While we absolutely loved the product, we couldn't wrap our heads around how SPF 6 could protect our skin. It got us thinking, "What's with all these products with low SPF and do they even protect?" So we went straight to the source and consulted with Korres' Director of Education.

"Foods That Slow Down Aging" was the title of Week 5. Sounds intriguing right? Well it was! Most of the lesson hinted at the downright obvious but Rose threw in a few twists for good measure.

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.

Filed under: Skin Care, Product Reviews

Neutrogena has developed a sunblock with the super ingredient Helioplex that takes skin protection to a whole new level (one that has considerably less peeling).

According to the website: "Helioplex^™ delivers unbeatable UVA protection. It works better to help prevent damaging UVA rays from penetrating deep under skin's surface. Dry-Touch technology absorbs excess sunscreen oils, leaving a clean, lightweight, non-shiny finish."

We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:

Damn my eyes!

There are two sides to having puffy, black rings under your eyes. The obvious is that they make you look tired and unhealthy and are generally not something you enjoy on your face.

The second and less popular option is that of acceptance. This is where I have been living. I can't go to a store without someone commenting on how tired I look. Generally speaking, I am tired, so I try not to take offense. The thing is that some of the time I'm not, and hearing the unavoidable comment just deflates the balloon out of my day. It's like asking a heavy woman when she's due. That never goes over well.

That's not to say that fun can't be had. I'm not above making up excuses for my eyesore(s). The cute server at Chili's? As far she knows I have two black eyes from that scuffle in which I saved the honor/lives of many maidens/orphans/puppies. The lovely librarian thinks that I'm up drinking heavily and living the life of Hemingway. Well, hell, they're both right.

Except that I haven't been in a scuffle since college and I if I stay up drinking heavily I'm more likely to be in bed for 3 days rather than making chit-chat in my local public library.

I decided to go with the former (remember the former, like two chapters ago?). I've tried various eye treatments to reduce the puffy swelling and dark rings that have been camping under my eyes since the Bush years (it's all very recent). None of them have worked.

Currently I'm trying Revitalizing Eye Creme Q10 from NIVEA for Men ($11.95). I haven't noticed a change.

I'm a fan of NIVEA products and I really want this one to work, albeit to rid myself of my problem and not as some skin care fanboy.

That said, I'll use the bottle and hope that it takes more than a few weeks to see results. Most likely I'll be looking for something new. Maybe I'll meet it in a drugstore, maybe I'll find it online, or maybe I'll find myself passing make-up counters that aren't even on my way home.

In the meantime I'll be up drinking heavily and saving puppies.

Seven Days of Style: Smart SPF

So now that you've decided on where to go for your much deserved winter getaway, it's time to start packing. If you're off to the islands, you'll pack light, and if you're trekking up a mountain, you'll be packing a a little more. In either case, though, don't forget protection!

That's right, whether Aruba or Aspen, the sun is going to be strong. To help make sure that you do a little now (sunscreen) to prevent having to do a lot later (Dr. 90210), Styledash has seven days of suncare.

Sunday, Sunscreen on Your Face - We've said it before, and we aren't shy about saying it again. And again. And again. You must wear sunscreen. It seems counter-intuitive to wear sunscreen when you're going to play in the snow, but honey, it's twice as strong out there in the mountains, since you're at a higher elevation and the sun's sparkling rays hit you not only from above, but reflect off the snow underneath. A lot of moisturizers out there have a sibling with SPF. Juice Beauty's Green Apple Moisturizer is not only sun-protective, but all of Juice Beauty's products are 100% certified organic.

Monday, Make the Most of Your Foundation - Don't forget that you can go double, even triple protection out there with the makeup you use. Clinique's City Base Compact Foundation goes on creamy, finished powdery, and provides a physical barrier from the elements, as well as SPF 15.

Tuesday, Triple Protection Powder - Lots of compact powders have sun-protection, in varying degrees of SPF. Stila's Illuminating Powder is a velvety powder that has an SPF of 12. It doesn't sound like much, but don't forget that you're wearing that on top of a moisturizer and foundation that both have SPF, too.
