NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Every woman has those days where they wake

from the night. Maintaining a beautiful, fresh look isn't easy, but with a few
long-lasting beauty solutions, you can save time and money, and still look

Lasting Manicure - Dark colors can look trendy, but are heavily pigmented and
therefore chip faster. The best thing to do is to use a long-wear top coat
after applying nail polish. Also, don't be shy about asking the salon for a
sample of the color for touch-ups between visits.


Whiter Smile - Drinking red wine, coffee, tea and colas can have an adverse
effect on the color of your teeth. A recent study(1) even found white wine to
be a culprit, as it has an acid content that tends to increase the risk of
staining if you also drink tea or similar beverages. However, you can reverse
some of that damage by brightening your smile with at-home whiteners like
Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. The new strip technology molds to your teeth
and doesn't leave a messy residue behind. The new formula also ensures that
your pearly whites will last for 12 months!


Taming Frizzy Hair - For many women, frizzy hair becomes a problem after perms
or highlights. Additionally, overusing styling products can lead to build up
and dryness. Frizzy hair is much like dry hair in that it lacks the proper
lipid balance. The first step to treat frizzy hair is to use a deep
conditioning treatment once a week. Be sure to opt for a cream conditioner as
oil-based conditioners can contribute to frizz.


Acne Solutions - When it comes to acne flare-ups, the most important thing you
can do for your skin to prevent flare-ups is to maintain a healthy lifestyle
-- drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables and get an adequate
amount of sleep. Also, follow a basic cleansing regimen by using a simple
soap, like glycerin, which is very gentle yet effective for daily use.

student at the NYU College of Dentistry. Denise Estafan, DDS, an associate
professor in the College of Dentistry, was co-investigator.
