Heidi Klum’s Beauty Secret: ‘Don’t Be Too Thin!’

When it comes to looking beautiful, Heidi Klum doesn’t believe you’re either thin or you’re out.

In fact, the Project Runway star, 37, says that as women age, bigger is better.

“The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, Don’t be too thin! It is always better to have a little meat on your bones,” Klum tells Self in the December issue.

“When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by 5 or 10 years.”

The model, who recently ended her professional relationship with Victoria’s Secret, also says she doesn’t sweat growing older – or getting wrinkles. “I don’t have anxiety about it, so I’m not running to get Botox. Maybe that will change, but I don’t think so. I feel comfortable in my skin and comfortable with aging, so I think it’s okay that I get wrinkles.” More »

Don’t Give Up The Glow This Winter

I am a huge fan of the Jergens Natural Glow, its a great buildable color that looks natural and keeps the pasty white skin of winter at bay. I didn’t know they have a foam version now I am so excited to try it for some reason I am a sucker for foam products.

Keep Your Color With Jergens® natural glow Daily Moisturizers

It’s no secret that the winter blues set in once the temperature drops. But did you know that cold weather leaves women feeling depressed about their skin, too? A study conducted by Jergens® Skincare and Kelton Research revealed that nearly 6 in 10 women feel their skin typically looks its worst during the winter—more so than any other season. Because of colder weather women are faced with the following skin issues:

Nearly 70% of women suffer from dry skin

Over 40% of women experience pale skin

More than 30% of women experience dull or rough skin
The study also demonstrated just how important healthy, beautiful skin is to most women. More than two-thirds of women feel that having good skin all of the time is more important than being blessed with amazing hair. In fact, almost 7 in 10 women admit that healthy or glowing skin would give them a bigger confidence boost than a hot new outfit.

The good news is that women don’t have to put up with pale, dry skin during the cold winter months. With five different glow formulas, the Jergens® natural glow Collection offers healthy-looking color for winter skin worth showing off:

Jergens® natural glow REVITALIZING Daily Moisturizer delivers a glow that lasts two times longer than the leading lotion sunless tanner.

For a radiant complexion, use Jergens® natural glow HEALTHY COMPLEXION Daily Moisturizer, specifically designed for facial skin.

To jumpstart your glow in just 1 day, go for Jergens® natural glow EXPRESS Body Moisturizer.

When you need to glow and go, try fast-drying Jergens natural glow FOAMING Daily Moisturizer

For tighter, visibly firmer skin, try Jergens® natural glow FIRMING Daily Moisturizer.

WHAT THEY COST: $8.99 each.

WHERE TO FIND THEM: Food, drug and mass retailer stores nationwide

How to get Blake Lively’s sexy eyelashes!

When it comes to mascara, sometimes natural-looking isn’t always our end game. Take Blake Lively’s spiky, dramatic fringe at the 7th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City. To amp-up the volume of your look without painstakingly placing individual lashes, try cutting a full strip of falsies into three smaller sections. The band will make them easier to attach, which means you’ll get more volume for less work.
