Rebecca Taras | November 17, 2011 8:30 am Fact: Kiehl's avocado eye cream, ultra face cream, and creme de corps (that's body cream) are regular cold-weather 911 emergency items on my dresser this time of the year; I just can't get enough of their rich texture and instantaneous results.

Fall Skin Rx: 3 Results-Driven Facials to Combat the Change of Seasons

Rebecca Taras | October 31, 2011 8:30 am While the esthetician in me would tell you that a good facial every four to six weeks should be as routine as going to the dentist (or getting your roots touched up), most of us would agree that a good steam, peel, and extraction session doesn't happen as often as it should.

Here are three treatments that will help you put your best face forward. Read More

Killer Looks: A Chicago Makeup Pro Dishes on Halloween Looks

Rebecca Taras | October 5, 2011 8:45 am Only a 7-year-old on the way to the school Halloween parade has an excuse to have a botched-up, unprofessional makeup job come Oct. 31. You're an adult now, and chances are you didn't buy your costume from aisle five in Walgreen's, so it's time to up the ante in the makeup department too. Read More
