Get Frequent Gel Manicures? Then Better Put On Sunscreen First

Gel manicures......They don't chip easily and seem to last twice as long.

What's not to LOVE?

We've heard about the possible skin cancer link before......well, the talk is surfacing once again.

GMA talked about gel manicure safety recently.

And we were surprised by what TV dermatologist, Dr. Whitney Bowe revealed.

She claims that "regular gel manicures speed up the aging process," because your hands are going under the UV or LED lamps to set the polish.

Her advice?

If you're going to get frequent gel manicures, then apply sunscreen to your hands about 15 minutes BEFORE getting the manicure.

Dr. Bowe  likes this sunscreen by LaRoche-Posay, Anthelios 60 Melt-In Sunscreen Milk ($35.99, at ULTA).

Bold Blue Lips: Big Beauty Trend Of The Moment---Do You Dare?

Famous makeup artist Sandy Linter once remarked, that in your 20s it's okay to go WILD with makeup colors.

The color BLUE is having a moment.....Smoky blue eyes are HOT now and for Spring 2016.

And more boldly......blue lips.

Here's Kylie Jenner a few weeks ago looking GLAM with a bright blue pout.

Blue lips were prominent during the Fall 2014 runway shows, but the shade seems to continue to mainstream in 2015.

Check out singer Melanie Martinez in blue lips for her debut album Cry Baby. In fact, the lipstick shade she is wearing is Cry Baby ( cartoon blue) by Lime Crime makeup's Unicorn Lipstick ($18,  at Lime Crime).

Doe Deere, CEO of Lime Crime, has collaborated with Melanie for her Cry Baby bold shade.

Why the color blue for lips?

Doe Deere explains it at her Lime Crime website:

MELANIE LOVES TO ACCENTUATE HER SIGNATURE POUT WITH FUN LIP COLORS. WHEN WE SET OUT TO CREATE CRY BABY, WE KNEW IT HAD TO BE AS UNIQUE AS MELANIE HERSELF. THE RESULT IS A SENSATIONAL SHADE OF BLUE THAT IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER: IT HAS VIBRANCY AND DEPTH, AND LOOKS FANTASTIC ACROSS A MULTITUDE OF SKIN TONES.

Will you dare to put on bright blue lipstick this fall?

Double Chin Elimination! New 5 Minute Injectable Dissolves Quickly!

We LOVE when cosmetic advancements keep coming.....Here's a BRAND new way to get RID of a double chin with a couple of injections.....and POOF! The double, sagging chin is GONE!

NO surgery.....NO downtime......Just a couple of thousand dollars or so, and well, a smoother, tauter chin + upper neckline.

The drug is called Kybella and is gaining plenty of buzz lately.

We think this is GREAT! And the FDA has now given approval. We wrote about this treatment last March when the US was waiting for the green light to proceed.

A lot of women + men are sensitive about loose, or flabby skin anywhere on the face + body. And the chin is no different.

A double chin can be caused by genetics, and how your body determines its fat storage + water retention. Age can also cause a double chin as skin sags. And being obese can also definitely give one a double chin.

This new procedure seems simple + quick 5- minute injection) with excellent, lasting results.  Take a look:

This is a MAJOR beauty breakthrough for 2015!

Wow!

ABC News has been following Kybella's journey for FDA approval for a few months now. Read MORE here.

Jennifer Lopez Started Going Grey In Her 20s: Time To Touch-Up

"I started going grey at 23," admits Jennifer Lopez.

She once told a US radio show: "My mom and my dad both went grey at a young age and I did too. At 23.

"Once I got started doing movies I started to grey. It was the stress, the pressure," she joked.

And when she was married to Mark Anthony, Jennifer laughed that she had to get her hair done " every two weeks."

We feel your pain, J LO, because we, too, started graying in our early 20s.

To show proof that she STILL fights those grey strands, take a peek at her here on the set of her new NBC drama, Shades of Blue on Friday afternoon.

Jennifer is still looking great at age 46, and ZERO makeup on that we can detect.

Yes, dark under-eye circles. So what? Who doesn't have those, right?

We LOVE seeing un-retouched photos like this one. Makes us feel better; makes Jenny-from-the-block appear normal with minor beauty challenges.

A quick, cheap way to HIDE those pesky greys BEFORE your next salon appointment is to use this.

It looks like a mascara wand, but is just for root touch-ups. Just apply to the grey, and POOF....bye-bye until your next shampoo!
