Tanning Salon Rallies to "Free Lindsay"
Today, Beach Bum Tanning Salon will be hosting a “Free Lindsay!” rally in support of jailed starlet Lindsay Lohan, who is serving a 90-day sentence in Los Angeles for drunk driving. The Lohan family are loyal Beach Bum Tanning Salon customers and avid bronzers (Lindsay even released her own self-tanning product-Sevin Nyne, which like most of her endeavors, was plagued with controversy).

Spa 101: The Collagen Facial – Spa Spotlight: Spa Merge
The basics: Collagen is produced by the skin and gives it elasticity and firmness, which is lessened as we age (hence wrinkles, crows feet, lines around the lips, you get the idea). So, because collagen is naturally produced by our skin, what a collagen facial does is help stimulate the production, using a special collagen protein serum. Collagen facials are said to leave the skin looking plumper and revitalized. It also helps with anti-aging efforts because dead skin cells are sloughed away. I learned a very interesting fact about exfoliation…more on that in a minute. Collagen facials are especially popular (especially in Tinseltown) before a special event. Typically, this is a pricier spa beauty treatment than say a spa’s signature facial.

Products We Love: KLORANE No Rinse Care with Pomegranate
It’s as simple as 1-2-3. To keep your hair color as vibrant as if you’d just left the salon chair, all you have to do is apply two or three small dabs of the product throughout dry or damp hair (longer hair may need a further dab). No need to rinse, I just ran my fingers through my mane and was out the door.

Products We Love: Yves Rocher’s Bronze Nature Self-Tanner Treatments
There are so many self-tanning lotions out there (and believe me, my pale skin has tried them all), but the Yves Rocher line is quickly becoming one of the staples in my ever-expanding collection of beauty products. One of the main reasons? Lack of that not-so-lovely smell that seems to linger hours after application with most lotions.

The Other Side of Sunscreen
Did you know that some sunscreens can be more hazardous to your health than beneficial to your skin? The Environmental Working Group has put out a huge study and website detailing research which reveals that some of the sunscreens that we trust to protect our skin could contain elements that are permeating our skin and could cause damage to our bodies and increase the risk of cancers.
