A Faux Glow: The Best New Bronzers & Self Tanners

Of late I’ve pondered if the “pregnancy glow” might have something to do not just with hormones, but the fact that most pregnant women are more hydrated, consume less caffeine and alcohol, and eat a bit healthier than the average individual.

What Women Want: Affordable Beauty

Women know makeup is about vanity, but society’s expectations justify our beauty obsessions. That’s why when summer comes, it’s all about nails, hair removal, firming and tanning.
