    Unlike trendy seasonal fashions, good skin is always "in." Your skin deserves the best treatment, so start by protecting one of the most exposed features on your body during the colder months -- your face. I've rounded up a few of the latest and greatest buzzworthy beauty and skin care products to hit the shelves this fall with expert tips from Ling Chan, creator of LING Skin Care products and Ling Spas in New York City, who's known for helping Hollywood's top leading ladies put their best face forward both on and off the screen. Get the skin you deserve with these tried and tested potions that are sure to help you achieve and maintain a healthy refreshing glow. The first step? Make a commitment! "Maintaining your skin is a lifelong commitment," says Chan. "Taking care of the skin is just like taking care of the body- it becomes part of a lifestyle. It is important to dedicate time to your customized plan to help achieve great skin." For starters, Aveda Enbrightenment Cleanser is gentle enough for frequent use and visibly improves skin clarity. Carol's Daughter Gentle Face Wash is also a great addition to your skin regime since it dissolves dirt and grime without stripping away moisture.

    We all know that an apple a day can keep the doctor away. Turns out that fiber-rich fruit (and its vitamin-rich counterparts) can ward off stress and a range of skin woes, too. At Pacific Waters Spa in Southern California, pears, blueberries and other healthy snacks are cropping up in a slew of body treatments designed to promote health, beauty and overall well-being. The antioxidant properties of blueberry and soy combine for a slimming body wrap aimed at improving skin elasticity and firmness, while apples and pears team up in a nourishing body treatment meant to infuse skin with an irresistible glow. And the delicious scents of pineapple, papaya and starfruit add a stress-busting aromatherapy element to the spa's menu of body scrubs. Getting hungry? Drop by the on-site cafe for a post-treatment smoothie made from -- you guessed it -- fresh fruit!

    Although everyone's schedule is unique, we can all agree that they're busy and hectic and chock full of errands and deadlines. Rushing around and trying to accomplish ten things at once can make it hard to find time to always look our best, or at least look pulled together and in control. Planet alignment shows it being an extra hectic week, with school sessions just starting, seasons changing, and 101 work and social activities to tend to. In a busy world like ours, it's hard to find time to always have on a full face of make-up before we venture out to do anything. And honestly, a fully painted face is just too much sometimes and should be reserved for special occasions and wild nights out. Let the stars guide you to your one must-have beauty product that will keep you looking fresh and ready and perfectly appropriate for whatever life throws at you this week! Scorpios, a little red lipstick will add some va-va-voom to your day. Leos, play up those flashing eyes with dramatic mascara! Check out the slideshow to see what the stars have chosen as your go-to beauty product for when you're on the go!

    Turmeric Steps Out Of The Kitchen And Into Your Beauty Kit!

    Turmeric has jumped from the kitchen spice rack and onto the bathroom shelf! With its peppery flavor and spicy aroma, what place does it have in your skin creams and cleansers? Aside from its traditional culinary uses, the medical and cosmetic benefits of Turmeric date back to ancient times. It has the powerful ability to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, get rid of blemishes, and also help protect skin from free radicals and toxins. It's often used as a skin softener in Asia, mixed into a paste with milk cream, sandalwood powder and Rosewater and applied to the body. But forget mixing a home paste! Turmeric is now available in a large variety of new face and body products. Use a skin-brightening polish to take your skin from dull to radiant, or an Indonesian face mask to even out skin tone and draw out impurities. For cleansers to detox supplements and all beauty products in between - check out the slideshow for some Turmeric-based products!

    It's officially summer, no matter what the tricky weather throws our way to try and convince us otherwise. For the past few months you've been counting calories and spending countless hours at the gym, sweating buckets on the elliptical with your iPod blaring motivational up-tempo tunes from summers past into your eardrums. As a result, you may be bikini-ready when it comes to abdominal muscle tone and slenderized thighs (or as ready as you'll ever be!), but somehow you just don't drip overflowing confidence every time you model that brand-new bandeau in your full-length mirror. Don't fret -- we've got a bunch of quick beauty fixes to add the finishing touches to your hard-earned bod that will have you strutting your stuff on the boardwalk in no time!

    Hot Beauty Ingredient: Argan Oil

    What's the hottest new beauty ingredient of 2009? Argan oil. Never heard of it before? Well, you will soon since it's being used in all sorts of products from masks, moisturizers, balms, and body butters. Known for its miraculous healing and moisturizing properties, argan oil has proven to reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles resulting in an overall improvement in the skin's surface. This hard-to-find oil is from the argan tree located in a remote region south of Morocco, and is notoriously difficult to harvest, making it one of the most expensive oils on earth (take that Creme de la Mer). One of my favorites is Elemis Pro-Collegen Quartz Lift Mask ($81 at timetospa.com), it's like a take home facial that gives you that ten-year-younger face lift look and baby soft skin. PRIORI makes a great CoffeeBerry Body Emulsion ($70 at Prioriskincare.com) that tightens and firms your legs and body while reducing signs of aging. Looking for something good for you and the community? Then Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Skin Salve with Fairly-Traded Argan Oil ($25 at Kiehls.com) is the thing for you. Plus, it can even be used on your nails to soften cuticles and your hair to smooth split ends! Is there anything this miracle oil can't help?
