About Women's Health: Stay Safe from the Sun's Rays

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


If your daily morning routine doesn't already include a healthy dose of SPF, listen up. Applying sunscreen isn't just for a day at the beach or an afternoon spent outside at a festival. The sun's rays can reach you -- and cause damage -- even when you're driving in your car.

5 Common Sunscreen Mistakes
It should be simple, but the act of properly applying sunscreen is wrought with the potential for mistakes. Don't make them.

Is the SPF in Makeup Enough?
Many beauty products now tout the fact that they have SPF built in. But is it really enough to rely on the sun protection from your foundation, rather than applying a separate sunscreen to your face?

The Truth about Tanning and Acne
As a misguided teenager, I thought that tanning was a miraculous way to clear up my acne-prone skin. Angela, our Guide to Acne, explains how the opposite is true -- lying out all day can actually make your skin oilier!

How to Treat a Sunburn
Okay, so despite all this sage advice, maybe you've found yourself wincing in pain after getting a little too much sun. We've all been there -- here's what to do.

About Women's Health: Get in Shape for Summer

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


Summer is so close, I can smell it. Who's ready for slapping on some sunscreen, throwing on that bikini you have buried deep in your closet, and showing some skin on the beach?

How to Get Lean, Fit and Healthy
Okay, so maybe not all of us are totally ready for summer exposure. If you're looking to slim down or simply improve your health this summer, we have all the information you need to meet your goals.

Find the Best Diet for You
Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, NutriSystem... the sheer number of diet plans out there is astounding. It can be overwhelming to try and pick one that actually fits your lifestyle and will be effective. Ask yourself these five questions before you sign up.

How to Get Six-Pack Abs
Before my gig writing this newsletter, I worked at a publication that was pretty fanatical about abs. So I should be an expert on this topic with the six-pack to prove it. Emphasis on "should."

Six Steps to Feeling Great About Yourself
Anyone who struggles with body image issues can have a tough time of it in summer, when so much emphasis is placed on how one looks in skimpy clothing. But leaning on supportive friends and doing things that make you happy can go a long way toward making this the best summer yet.
