I wonder if Kim Kardashian has an assistant whose job it is to empty Costco-size vats of L'Oreal's True Match makeup into a tub every morning so that Kim can just hop right in, dunk herself, drip dry for half an hour, then get ready for the day. It might not be too far off -- Kim was on Live With Kelly yesterday and admitted to using a lot of body makeup. She said she was happy her seat wasn't white, implying that if it were, she'd stain the darn thing with permanent taupe thigh marks or something. The weird part was that Kelly actually concurred, saying that she may have to switch to black sheets since her body makeup rubs off and gets everywhere.

What's with all this body makeup and where can I get my hands on it?

Back in September we learned that Kate Middleton, sister Pippa, and Harry Potter star Emma Watson had been sent a bottle of Lancome's Visionnaire serum to try out. The serum, which retails for $84, is supposedly the latest and greatest in skincare -- it corrects the appearance of wrinkles and pores and improves texture with some high-tech, plant-based, fancy-pants chemical they developed over 12 years. Lancome claims it's a product so powerful that one out of two women decided to postpone getting Botox or fillers after using Visionnaire for four weeks. Like ... whoa, right? Those are fighting words. Naturally, we had to get our hands on the stuff.

So I gave it a shot for four weeks. Every morning and night, I'd slather the stuff on my face and neck and sort of just pause afterward, motionless on the couch, not wanting to disrupt the elegant chemical reactions that were going to take my skin to a whole new level of amazing.

Every month or so, it seems like there's new research about the secret (or not-so-secret) powers of booze! Wine, specifically, usually of the red variety. If you ask me, it seems like researchers and winemakers are in cahoots. Trying to give us even more reason to love our vino. (Pfft, as if we needed that!) Most recently, an article in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry asserted that being a wino might save you from turning into a lobster when you hit the beach sans sunblock or big floppy hat. Yup, again we're hearing that a bottle of red is your BFF in the sunscreen department!

The scientists explain the phenomenon by saying that flavonoids present in grapes can stop the chemical reaction that causes cells to die, which is what causes skin damage. But, before you go to town with that sangria at a pool party this weekend, consider this ...

We've long been told that drinking six to eight glasses of water a day will give us clear, youthful skin and better overall health.

But is there such a thing as too much water?

Some doctors say yes -- and now, according to the Daily Mail, Food Network star Nigella Lawson is admitting to having the problem herself. The Daily Mail reports that Nigella has termed herself an 'aquaholic,' saying that she drinks three liters of water before bedtime every night.

Wow.

Want to know what doctors say could happen to aquaholics if they continue fueling their addiction?

Megan Fox wants the world to know she hasn't had Botox.

Apparently, the rumors have bothered her so much that she took to Facebook, posting photos of herself making facial expressions that a woman with Botox injections couldn't physically make.

I'm a little surprised that Megan would feel the need to go to this extreme -- after all, she's only 25 years old.

It is very easy for me to believe that Megan Fox has not had Botox, with or without the Facebook photos to prove it.

Do this again when you're 45, Megan.

Then I'll be impressed.

What about you?

The stars all seem to have such perfect skin.

Check out Reese Witherspoon, for example. I'm sure there was some serious airbrushing in this Vogue photo, but even in her paparazzi pics, she's always totally glowing.

So unfair.

I've always figured celebs have beauty secrets that mere mortals simply don't have access to -- and as it turns out, I was right!

Reese let it drop in a recent issue of InStyle that she uses something specific to clear up problem skin --

It's a surprising solution I've never heard of, and it costs under 10 dollars.

Learn Reese's clear skin secret after the jump!

Getting a tan at the beach has become a conundrum for many of us.

We want to come home with a healthy glow, but skin cancer is a real concern.

This summer, I tried a combined approach that really worked -- and kept my skin safe.

Read on to find out what I did.

The FDA wants to shine some light on something that we may think we need to stay well, but could actually be making us sick ... sun protection products. With new sunscreen rules and regs, the government agency hopes to clear up a lot of the confusion and frustration out there about the plethora of lotions, sprays, and sticks that line drugstore shelves every summer. Although having so many options seems like it could be a good thing, labels and claims of sunblocks and sunscreens have spiraled a wee bit out of control, so it's good to hear the FDA plans to rein 'em in and encourage manufacturers to create more effective products that are "easier to use."

Here, the top seven misconceptions we all have about sunscreen and how the new rules and regs will attempt to clarify them ...
